Synthetic Drug Testing – Laboratory Testing for K2 / Spice or Bath Salts

Bath Salts
Synthetic drugs/stimulants are produced in illegitimate labs, and sold online or available at smoke shops. Promoted as “bath salts,” “research chemicals,” or “plant food,” product labeling attempts to circumvent regulation by suggesting they are not for human consumption. Additionally, some forms of designer stimulants may be sold as “legal” MDMA (Legal X), or sold and veiled as MDMA tablets.

Young adults in the US and other countries have died from use of these products. Though bath salts appear to affect users like amphetamines and cocaine, reports and recent news tell tales of aggression, paranoia, suicide and suicidal tendencies, tachycardia (excessive heart rates), and erratic behavior.

Effective May 14, 2012, we expanded our Designer Stimulant Urine Test Panel to include 7 newer generation drugs, including Buphedrone, Flephedrone, Pentedrone, Pentylone, α-Pyrrolidinopentiophenone (α-PVP), 4-methylethcathinone, and Eutylone.

K2 / Spice

Synthetic cannabinoids compounds, found to be 4 to 100 times stronger than marijuana, are deceptively marketed as incense or herbal smoke products and sold under names like K2, K3 Legal, Spice, Syn, Haze, Cloud 9 to name a few.

Testing Features & Benefits

– Detect many illicitly synthesized drugs sold online and in head shops
– Choose from 2 test panels: Simple or Expanded panels (see other tabs)
– Quantitatively identifies active ingredients of many “legal high” products labeled as “bath salt” and “plant food,” or sold as “Legal X”
– Accurately identifies JWH-018, JWH-073, JWH-081, JWH-250, AM-2201, RCS-4 and their metabolites (synthetic cannabinoids)
– Average window of detection is 72 hours following a single low dose; in case of chronic use the window is much longer
