We offer free, anonymous drug checking services including FTIR Spectrometer services and fentanyl test strips, as well as free substance use and harm reduction information and resources.
Drug Checking
We can tell you
- What the main active ingredient is
- If other drugs may be mixed in
- If cutting agents have been used as a filler
- Up to 3-4 different components, including approximate proportions
We can also tell you whether your sample contains trace amounts of fentanyl and/or some fentanyl analogues.
Testing takes a small sample about the size of a match-head and about 10 minutes.
FTIR Spectrometry
Our staff are trained in Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy which is a device that gives a detailed reading of the components (ingredients) in a substance.
The test takes about 10 minutes and requires a small sample about the size of a match head. The FTIR is nondestructive to the sample.
Fentanyl Test Strips
Fentanyl test strips help identify whether there is fentanyl or fentnayl analogues in your substances. We can test your substances for you, and provide test strips for take-home use as well.
Harm reduction supplies
We can provide clean, new harm reduction supplies.
Harm reduction information and resources
We provide connections to local harm reduction and substance use supports and resources.
