Description
The BDH Drug Test Kit is a professional-grade solution designed for the rapid screening of restricted substances. Developed at the Laboratory of the Government Chemist (LGC) in the UK, this kit serves as a field-based tool for law enforcement and forensic agencies. It provides a means of performing presumptive colourimetric testing on suspected materials at the scene of an incident. Each kit contains sufficient reagents to perform at least 200 tests, supporting high-volume investigations.
Efficiency and breadth of testing define the purpose of this kit. It allows investigators to narrow down the type of substance present, including cannabis (resin and herbal), cocaine, LSD, and barbiturates. The testing process involves adding a small amount of the suspect material to specific chemical reagents. A distinct colour change indicates the potential presence of a particular drug type. As a presumptive screening tool, these results provide an initial step in an investigation before full laboratory analysis confirms the findings for use as court evidence.
The BDH Drug Test Kit is a complete, self-contained system. It includes 20 Marquis reagent ampoules (0.2ml), alongside dedicated 10ml and 20ml liquid reagents for cocaine, barbiturates, LSD, and cannabis. The set also includes a specialised 5g cannabis solid reagent and 20g of neutraliser for disposal. To facilitate precise handling, the kit features Whatman filter papers, a microspatula, 25 disposable spatulas, forceps, and four watch glasses.
Safety features are integrated into the kit for field testing. These include 20 ampoule breakers to protect users from sharp glass when opening reagent vials. A detailed instruction leaflet guides the user through the correct testing protocols to ensure accuracy. This kit provides forensic teams with a scientifically developed, high-capacity tool for the front-line detection of controlled substances.
