Nik Test B Nitric-Acid

The Nik Test B Nitric-Acid serves as a vital secondary screening tool in the presumptive identification of controlled substances. While investigators often use Test A for initial detection, they rely on Test B to further differentiate and confirm the presence of specific narcotics. This systematic approach allows law enforcement and forensic teams to narrow down the identity of unknown samples with higher confidence.

This reagent specifically targets Opiates, including Morphine, Codeine, and Heroin. Furthermore, it identifies Amphetamine-type compounds and functions as a broad general screening test for various other illegal drugs. By observing the chemical reaction within the secure pouch, officers can rapidly distinguish between different classes of narcotics. This speed is essential for field operations where immediate assessments guide the next steps of an investigation.

The NIK system uses heavy-duty, self-contained plastic pouches. Each pouch houses pre-measured glass ampoules, which eliminates the need for manual chemical handling. To use the test, simply place a small sample into the pouch, seal it, and break the internal ampoules. This design ensures that the user never comes into direct contact with the nitric acid reagent, maintaining a safe and sterile testing environment.

Each pack contains 10 individual test pouches, providing a cost-effective solution for high-volume field use. The reagents feature an indefinite shelf life, provided they remain in a cool, dark environment. However, users should avoid prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight to prevent chemical degradation.

Because these professional kits originate from a USA-based supplier, customers may experience a lead time of over 28 days if the item is not currently in stock. We recommend calling our office for the most up-to-date lead times before placing a large order.
