NIK Field Drug Test for Patrol Officers Forensic Source

Alright, listen up, team. We’re out here working graveyards in South Chicago, and it’s crucial that we know our NIK tests like the back of our hands. These tests are essential for the presumptive identification of various drugs, and they can help us quickly assess what we’re dealing with in the field.

Test A – Marquis Reagent: This is our primary general screening test, used to identify a range of substances, including Opiates like Morphine, Codeine, and Heroin, Demerol, Black Tar, Amphetamines like Methamphetamine and MDMA (Ecstasy), and a general screening agent for other drugs.

Test B – Nitric Acid Reagent: A secondary screening test for Opiates like Morphine, Codeine, and Heroin, as well as Amphetamines.

Test C – Modified Dille-Koppanyi Reagent: We use this test for Barbiturates’ presumptive identification. It’s used after a no change result in Test A and Test G or an orange result in Test I. A positive result is when we see no color change after breaking the first ampoule and a lavender color after breaking the second ampoule.

Test D – Modified Ehrlich’s Reagent: This one’s for the presumptive identification of LSD. Use it after positive results in Test A and B. A positive result is when we see no color change after breaking the first ampoule and a lavender result after breaking.

Test E – D-L Reagent: Stand-alone test for the presence of Cannabinoids in Cannabis Sativa strains of plant material. Remember, for determining THC or CBD, we use the CBD test. A positive result in Test E is when we see no color change after breaking the first ampoule, a dark blue or violet after breaking the second ampoule, and a grey upper layer over a violet layer after breaking the third ampoule.

Test F – Acid Neutralizer: Always remember, after each test, neutralize with Acid Neutralizer. Safety first, folks.

Test G – Modified Scott Reagent: This one’s for the presumptive identification of Cocaine, Crack, or Free Base. Positive result: blue or pink with blue speckles after breaking the first ampoule, a pink result after breaking the second ampoule, and a pink layer over a blue layer after breaking the third ampoule.

Test H – Methadone: Use this test only after positive results from Test A, G, I, and C. A positive result is when we see no color change after breaking the first ampoule and a resulting blue color after breaking the second ampoule.

Test I – Liebermans Reagent: This is a general screening test to presumptively identify PMA, Ketamine, Barbiturates, and Methadone. Use it after a brown result in Test A or a clear result in Test A followed by no change in Test G.

Test J – PCP: For the presumptive identification of PCP (Phencyclidine). Use it after positive results from Tests A, G, I, and W. A positive result is indicated by no color change in the first ampoule, followed by a blue or pink with blue speckled result after breaking the second and third ampoules.

Test K – Opiates: This one’s for the presumptive identification of Heroin, Black Tar, Codeine, and Morphine. It’s easier to distinguish between these four Opiates compared to using Test B. Also, can be used to screen out Methapyrilene and Propoxyphene.

Test L – Modified Meckes Reagent: Use it for the presumptive identification of all forms of Heroin, including White, Brown, and Black Tar, and MDMA (Ecstasy), as well as detecting certain dye combinations designed to give false positives with Test A.

Test M – Methaqualone: Use this test for the presumptive identification of Methaqualone (Quaaludes, Sopor Somnafac, Opitimil, and Parest are the trade names).

Test N – Pentazocine: For the presumptive identification of Pentazocine, commonly known under the trade name Talwin Nx or Talacen, as well as a presumptive test for Oxycodone.

Test O – GHB: For the presumptive identification of GHB (Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate). Use it after positive results from Tests A, G, I, W, J, and R. A positive result is indicated by a green hue.

Test P – Propoxyphene: For the presumptive identification of Propoxyphene, commonly known under the tradename Darvon.

Test Q – Ephedrine: Use this test for the presumptive identification of Ephedrine and Pseudoephedrine. A positive result is when we see no color change after breaking the first ampoule and a purple or violet color after breaking the second ampoule.

Test R – Rohypnol: For the presumptive identification of Valium (Diazepam), Rohypnol (Flunitrazepam), and Methcathinone. A positive result is a lavender color after breaking all ampoules.

Test S – KN Reagent (Fast Blue B): This test is for Marijuana, Hashish, and Hash Oil, and will test dried leafy material, green leaves, and seeds. A positive result is clear over orange after breaking the second ampoule.

Test T – Morris Reagent: For the presumptive identification of Ketamine. A positive result is a lavender color. Negative results are indicated by a blue/green color or no color reaction.

Test U – Methamphetamine: For the presumptive identification of Methamphetamine and MDMA (Ecstasy). Always use Test A before Test U, as color results for Methamphetamine, Amphetamine, and MDMA (Ecstasy) can be very similar.

Test V – Frohdes Reagent: Tests for Pentazocine (Talwin) and can be used as a secondary test for Heroin. A dark blue is a positive reaction for Pentazocine, and purple is a positive reaction for Heroin.

Test W – Mandelin Reagent: For the presumptive identification of Amphetamines and Methadone, as well as screening for PMA and Ketamine in conjunction with Test I.

Remember, folks, these NIK tests are invaluable tools in our fight against narcotics trafficking. Stay sharp and stay safe out there. Let’s take these substances off the streets and make our community safer. Move out!
