Simons Reagent
$12.99
Standard reagents are used to identify the predominant substance in a sample. Simons reagent, specifically, is a secondary amine test. It will turn bright blue in the presence of secondary amines, like the extra methyl group in MDMA or methamphetamine. It is the second step in identifying MDMA because it can distinguish between MDMA and MDA (or methamphetamine vs amphetamine). The test should only be performed after using Marquis reagent first. Or get the full MDMA test kit. Good for 50-75 tests. Instructions and color chart below.

Instructions for Using Simons Reagent
To use the Simons reagent test kit, put a tiny bit of your substance on a white ceramic plate. Place one drop of reagent on the sample. (Some reagents require a drop from two separate bottles.) Compare the color change to the color bars in the chart below. Most color changes happen fast. Some can take up to five minutes. Colors and times are approximate. Multiple factors can cause slight variations. Remember, reagents cannot detect purity. Just presence. Store them in a refrigerator. Wash the plate thoroughly when done.
