NIK Test P – Propoxyphene

The NIK Propoxyphene Test (Test P) offers a professional-grade solution for the rapid presumptive identification of Propoxyphene. Most commonly known by the trade name Darvon®, this opioid analgesic requires specific chemical reagents for accurate field detection. Because crime laboratories often face significant backlogs, law enforcement and forensic teams rely on “Test P” to identify suspected substances immediately. Consequently, investigators can file charges and process evidence 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 decision-making on-site.

Each pack contains 10 individual test pouches, providing a cost-effective and portable solution for high-volume field work. These reagents maintain an indefinite shelf life when stored in a cool, dark environment. To ensure the chemical stability of the kit, users should avoid prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or extreme heat. This durability makes the NIK system a staple in forensic equipment sets and mobile laboratory kits.

Since these professional kits originate from a USA-based supplier, a lead time of over 28 days may apply if the item is out of stock. We recommend contacting our office for the most current updates on lead times before you finalise your order.
