Mephedrone and MDPV Bath Salts Urine Test Kit

When you purchase this kit, you will receive all the necessary tools to easily collect and ship a urine sample back to our laboratory for analysis. This includes sterile collection cups, plastic shipping sleeve, chain of custody form, and prepaid shipping label.

Bath Salts contain Mephedrone and MDPV (methylenedioxypyrovalerone), two common synthetic compounds that produce the effect of hallucinations. Bath salts are known by various names, such as Ivory Wave, Bliss, White Lightning, Hurricane Charlie, Vanilla Sky, Charge, and White Knight.

This Mephedrone and MDPV Bath Salts Urine Test Kit provides a fully validated, quantitative test for detecting and measuring the presence of synthetic stimulants Mephedrone and MDPV in urine. The method utilizes a state of the art high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LCMSMS).

Mephedrone, also known as 4-methylmethcathinone (4-MMC) or 4-methylephedrone, is a synthetic stimulant that reportedly enhances mental and/or physical function. This synthetic drug comes in a variety of names, such as meow meow, Meph, Drone, M-cat, bath salts, and plant food. Its side effects include: alertness, restlessness, euphoria, excitement, openness, sex drive, stimulation, decreased hostility, improved mental function and mild sexual stimulation - effects that are similar to the effects of cocaine, amphetamines and MDMA. Mephedrone may come in the form of capsules, tablets or white powder that users may swallow, snort, inject, smoke, or use rectally.

Meanwhile, MDPV (methylenedioxypyrovalerone) is a designer drug of the phenethylamine class. It is structurally related to MDMA and also to cathinone, and is known for increasing dopamine levels. The acute side effects of DMVP include tachycardia, hypertension, vasoconstriction, and sweating. Higher doses of MDPV reportedly cause intense, prolonged panic attacks in stimulant-tolerant users. The duration of the subjective effects of MDPV is about 3 to 4 hours with the side effects continuing a total of 6 to 8 hours after administration.

"Bath Salts" are ingested by means of being snorted, injected, or smoked -- primarily by teens and young adults -- due to their widespread availability on the Internet, local convenience stores, and smoke shops.

What the test does

This Mephedrone and MDPV Bath Salts Urine Test quantifies the presence of Mephedrone and MDPV in the urine. The test will measure both compounds down to concentrations of 1 ng/mL using a high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LCMSMS) technique.

How the test works

This Mephedrone and MDPV Bath Salts Urine Test requires 3 mL of unpreserved urine. The urine samples should be stored under ambient temperature for shipping with a short-term storage period of 3 days. The samples may likewise be refrigerated or frozen to ensure non-contamination.

Cut-off Limits

This quantitative test detects and measures Mephedrone and MDPV in urine down to concentrations of 1 ng/mL. The test uses a state of the art, high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LCMSMS) by an accredited laboratory.

Limitations of the test

The urine test is designed to identify the presence of the 2 common synthetic drugs Mephedrone and MDPV (methylenedioxypyrovalerone). It cannot determine other illicitly synthesized forms of designer stimulants, such as MDMA, Cathinones, and Piperazines. Furthermore, this Mephedrone and MDPV Bath Salts urine laboratory testing kit will not detect other herbs such as those found in K2, Spice, or other "herbal" products.
