Is shipping discreet?

Yes. Your order is shipped in neutral, unbranded packaging with no indication of the contents. This ensures full privacy.  For more information, please see our shipping details.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping within the USA and Canada usually takes 1–4 business days. Orders are shipped Monday to Friday from our US distribution center. Delivery times for other countries may vary due to customs procedures.

Do I need anything else to perform the test?

Everything required for the test is included in the box. For sample preparation, you may additionally need common household items:

• Scissors (to cut a blotter)
• A pipette/dropper (for liquid handling)

What forms of LSD can be tested? 

The LSD QTest works with:

• Blotter paper
• Liquid LSD (aqueous or alcoholic solutions)
• Gel tabs (depending on the type)

Note: Agar-based gel tabs are not suitable, as they require high heat to dissolve, which can damage LSD.

How much material do I need for the test?

• Blotter: use half a blotter 
• Liquid LSD: use one drop

For liquid samples, gently shake or invert the vial before testing, as LSD may settle at the bottom.

For blotters, the result reflects the amount in the tested half. 

How do I calculate the total LSD content of a blotter?

Since only half a blotter is tested:

• Multiply the result by 2 to estimate the full blotter content
• If consuming the remaining half, the measured value already reflects that portion (no calculation needed)

Can I test gel tabs?

Yes, but only if they dissolve properly. 

• Gelatine-based gel tabs: Use half a tab, place it in the extraction solution, and gently heat to ~122 °F/ 50°C (e.g. in a warm water bath) until fully dissolved. Then proceed with the test.
• Agar-based gel tabs: Not compatible. Agar requires much higher temperatures to dissolve, which can degrade LSD and lead to inaccurate results.

What does “quantitative test” mean? How is the QTest different from classic reagent tests?

Unlike classic reagent tests, which only indicate whether a substance is present, the LSD QTest measures how much LSD-25 is in your sample. You get an actual dosage (in micrograms), not just a yes/no result.

Can the LSD QTest detect cutting agents or other substances?

No. The LSD QTest is specifically designed to measure LSD-25 potency. It does not identify contaminants or cutting agents.

Does the QTest also work for derivatives such as 1P-LSD, 1cP-LSD, ALD-52 or ETH-LAD?

No. The LSD QTest is calibrated specifically for LSD-25 and does not react to these derivatives. If your sample contains only these substances, no color reaction will occur.

What is the shelf life and how should I store the test?

The test has a shelf life of at least 18 months. Store it between 36–68°F / 2–20°C and protect it from direct sunlight. For optimal longevity, refrigeration is recommended.

What others say about our QTest:

The functionality and the precision of our QTests have already been tested & validated by a lot of customers and third parties:

The Beckley Foundation, a forefront of global drug policy reform and scientific research into psychoactive substances supports our QTests straight from the beginning.

Psychedelic Passage compares the results of our rapid tests with laboratory tests from Energy Control International (a long-standing drug-checking program in Spain) for identical samples and comes to convincing results:

• LSD-QTest Result: We determined that the color was much closer to the 50ug color range than the 25ug and concluded that the sample likely contained about 40ug of LSD-25. 
• LSD Lab Test Result: The lab test indicated that our sample contained 43ug of LSD tartrate.

The QTest where officially validated & approved for the federal drug-checking program ALIVE in the federal state of Thuringa (Germany).

This test is not suitable for the identification of the substance itself, but rather for detecting the content of the active substance content.

IMPORTANT: Testing a sample with our test kits should not be considered a guarantee of safety. Essential risks are associated with the consumption of any substance. Various factors can influence testing outcomes and reactions. Miraculix does not take responsibility for the interpretation of test results. Sample responses can differ due to lighting variations and specific substance blends being tested. The use or misuse of this information is not the responsibility of miraculix.
