How to perform the surface drug test
- Read the instructions supplied with the test kit before you begin the test
- Remove the surface drug test kit from the foil pouch
- Remove the cap
- If you are wiping a surface then wipe the prongs along the surface making sure that the prongs on both sides of the panel come into contact with the surface you wish to test.
- The buffer solution previously supplied with this test has been replaced by simply adding 5ml of cold tap water to the test prongs
- Take the cap that was removed from the drug test, hold it upright, and pour the water into the cap. Alternatively, immerse the prongs up to the dip line indicators for 15-20 seconds, using clean tap water in a suitable container.
- You can then lie the test kit flat with the cap still on
- Read the result at 5-10 minutes
- You will get an individual result for each drug
How to use the surface drug test kit to test a suspect substance or white powder
Follow steps 1, 2 and 3 as above
- If you are using the test kit to test a white powder then you can either wipe all the prongs through the suspect substance or you can add the white powder directly to 5ml of clean cold tap water (if doing this mix thoroughly)
Then follow all the other steps as above
If you wish to test a tablet, then crush it and add the powder to the 5ml cold tap water and mix, and then follow the steps as above.
