NIK Test M-Methaqualone

The NIK Methaqualone Test (Test M) provides a high-performance solution for the presumptive identification of Methaqualone. Commonly known by trade names such as Quaaludes, Sopor, Somnafac, Optimil, and Parest, this sedative-hypnotic substance requires specific chemical reagents for accurate field detection. Because crime laboratories often face significant backlogs, law enforcement and forensic teams rely on “Test M” to identify suspected substances immediately. Consequently, investigators can process evidence and make informed decisions on-site without waiting weeks for laboratory confirmation.

The NIK system utilises heavy-duty, reinforced plastic pouches that contain pre-measured chemical ampoules. This self-contained design significantly improves safety and operational efficiency. Because the reagents remain sealed within the pouch, the user avoids any manual measuring, mixing, or dispensing of hazardous liquids. To perform the test, an investigator simply places a small sample into the pouch and breaks the internal glass ampoules. A clear, distinct colour change provides a visual result within seconds, allowing for immediate action.

Each pack contains 10 individual test pouches, providing a portable solution for field work. These reagents are designed to maintain chemical stability when stored in a cool, dark environment. To ensure the integrity of the kit, avoid prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or extreme heat. This durability makes such systems a common component in forensic equipment sets and mobile laboratory kits.

Due to these professional kits originating from a USA-based supplier, a lead time of over 28 days may apply if the item is not currently in stock. It is advisable to contact the supply office for the most current updates on lead times before finalising an order.
