The FTIR has a detection limit of approximately 5%. Substances below this level may not appear in results — even if they are toxic or affect the potency of your sample.
When possible, we may provide a percentage estimate based on what the FTIR detects. These numbers are generated by software and reflect only the visible components — not the full composition of the sample. The FTIR cannot isolate individual substances in complex mixtures, so any percentage estimates are approximate. They may not reflect actual potency, and similar-looking samples can yield different results – therefore we do not provide purity testing. Any percentages we offer are estimates based on the visible ingredients identified through FTIR spectroscopy. Since this method does not account for the entire sample, undetected ingredients below the detection threshold may influence the composition. The percentages are intended only as a general indication of how the identified ingredients are distributed within the sample. Due to this, any percentages provided cannot be used to calculate milligram quantities within a sample. Our results should not be used to determine exact dosages.
Additionally, a sample may not reflect the full composition of a drug. For example, testing part of a pill may not represent the rest. Cross-contamination between samples stored together can also affect results.
When we detect only one substance, we don’t provide a percentage because other ingredients might still be present below the 5% detection limit.
Treat any percentage result as a rough guideline, not a precise measurement.
Tests highlighted in red indicate particularly dangerous or unexpected results. Flagged samples can alslo be viewed on our Alerts page.
We also use test strips to detect the presence of fentanyl, benzodiazapenes, and lysergamide (LSD).
The results provided are strictly for personal use and educational purposes. They must not be published, distributed, or shared publicly in any form. Unauthorized sharing, reproduction, or publication of these results is strictly prohibited and may result in disciplinary action.
If you find our results shared elsewhere, please be aware that such use is unauthorized and we do not condone it. Images or representations of our results can be easily replicated or altered online, potentially containing misleading or false information. We strongly recommend testing your own samples to ensure accuracy and reliability.

Benzodiazepines should be dosed such that we will not see the benzodiazepine on the machine(FTIR spectrometer) but we will see it on the test strip. This sample has an appropriate dose point for a benzodiazepine. Microcrystalline cellulose and uncertain oil are common pill fillers/binders.

To help us track payments, please include the provided submission sample number in the memo section of your payment. OUR FUNDING: Get Your Drugs Tested receives no government funding. We are an independent organization funded by The Medicinal Cannabis Dispensary, The Medicinal Mushroom Dispensary, and your donations. It costs us about $25 per test to cover all the costs of analyzing a sample, including equipment, labour and rent. This minimum $10 donation requirement helps us to offer our service to as many people as possible. Larger donations are gratefully accepted.
