BDH Marquis Test

Streamline your forensic screening with the BDH Marquis Test, a reliable and industry-standard solution for presumptive drug identification. We offer this professional-grade kit to law enforcement, laboratory technicians, and security personnel who require rapid results in the field or the station. The Marquis reagent is one of the most widely used chemical tests for the preliminary identification of alkaloids, providing clear colour reactions that help categorise unknown substances in seconds.

The BDH Marquis Test is designed for the presumptive identification of various alkaloids. This formulation is specifically used for testing substances such as amphetamines and opiates. When a sample interacts with the reagent, a distinct colour change occurs, allowing for the differentiation of various organic compounds. As a presumptive test, this process serves as an initial step in a chain of evidence, providing a basis for further laboratory confirmation.

The kit is a comprehensive system designed for multiple uses. Each unit contains materials for 40 individual tests, making it suitable for high-volume screening environments. The standard configuration includes eight packs of five ampoules (0.2 ml each) of the Marquis reagent. These sealed glass ampoules are designed to maintain the purity of the chemical until the moment of use, protecting the reagent from environmental contamination.

Safety and functional efficiency are integrated into the kit’s components. The inclusion of 40 ampoule breakers allows for the safe opening of glass vials, minimising the risk of injury. Additionally, the package provides 50 stirrers to facilitate the proper mixing of samples and reagents for uniform reactions. Including the BDH Marquis Test in a forensic inventory provides a standard, field-ready tool for the detection of controlled substances.
