If you can only afford a single reagent, this is the one to get. Tests for the presence of MDxx, DXM, opiates, and 2C-T-7. Use Mecke reagent as your primary ecstasy testing kit. Ships in 48-72 hours from time of order.
The Mecke Reagent is a solution of selenious acid in sulfuric acid. Mecke Reagent produces clearly different color results for DXM and MDMA, which is why it is now DanceSafe's preferred reagent for MDMA testing. It can also be used to test for the presence of 2C-T-x variants and certain opiates.
Color reactions:
- MDxx - Green turning to blue
- DXM - yellow
- Codeine/morphine/hydrocodone - very dark bluish green
- Oxycodone - Olive
- 2C-T-x - yellow through red to purple
The color reactions for MDMA, MDA, and MDEA are the same. You can then use the Simon's Reagent to tell the difference between MDA and MDMA/MDE. MDE is relatively rare.
Testing Instructions:
IMPORTANT: Never have more than one reagent bottle open at a time. If you mix up the caps and put the wrong cap on the wrong reagent bottle, this may cross-contaminate the reagents. Be sure and perform the tests in a well-lighted location.
Use the Mecke reagent to determine whether your pill contains an ecstasy-like substance (MDMA, MDA, or MDE).
- Scrape a tiny bit of your pill onto a large, white ceramic plate (an amount about the size of the head of a pin is fine). If you have a gel cap, just use a small amount of the powder.
- Take the reagent bottle out of the plastic safety container. Remove the cap and turn it upside-down over the powder. In a few seconds a drop will come out.
- Observe the color change right away. Use the Mecke color chart and the Mecke color change descriptions below to evaluate your test.
- Turn the bottle back upright, close the lid tightly, and put it back into the plastic safety container.
If the powder contains an ecstasy-like substance (MDMA, MDA, or MDE), the reagent will immediately turn dark green/turquoise and then change right away to a dark blue (almost black). All this will happen very quickly so watch closely. This is a positive test for an ecstasy-like substance.
If this happens, proceed to Simon's reagent, to determine whether your pill contains MDA, or whether it contains MDMA or MDE.
DXM, the cough suppressant, will turn a yellowish-brown color within the first fifteen seconds. This indicates you definitely do not have an ecstasy-like substance in your pill. There are no more tests to perform, so go ahead and clean up with soap and water. If the reagent turns a bright reddish-orange and fades to a deep reddish-purple, this indicates the presence of 2CT-7. You definitely do not have an ecstasy-like substance in your pill. There are no more tests to perform, so go ahead and clean up with soap and water. If the reagent does not change any color during the first 20 seconds, or if it produces some other color-change sequence, then the pill definitely does not contain any of the above substances. It may also be highly adulterated with one or more unknown substances. There are no more tests to perform, so go ahead and clean up with soap and water. (Note: If the reagent did not change color during the first 20 seconds, the pill still might contain amphetamine or methamphetamine. You can use our Marquis reagent to find out.
Handling Instructions:
The Mecke Reagent is a mixture of acids, and is strong enough to burn skin and clothing. Keep out of eyes and mouth. Wear latex gloves when handling the bottle and cap. If you get some on you then wash quickly with soap and water. Wash testing surfaces with soap and water as well. Dispose of any unwanted reagent down the sink with running water and baking soda.
Mecke Reagent can only determine the PRESENCE, not QUANTITY, of a particular substance. MDxx reactions will tend to override reactions to other substances also in the pill. A positive or negative reaction for a substance does not indicate that a drug is safe. No drug use is 100% safe. Make good decisions.
