List of reagent testing color charts

Jump to navigation Jump to search

It is advised to check the references for photos of reaction results.[1] Reagent testers might show the colour of the desired substance while not showing a different colour for a more dangerous additive.[2] For this reason it is essential to use multiple different tests to show all adulterants.
