Holy flippin' mark-up! $65 for four bottles that contains maybe $1-2 worth of chemicals?

Anyways, as someone stated above, these kits test for the presence of MDMA, not necessarily all adulterants. There is the issue of cross-reactivity as well.

It's better than nothing, but I'm not sure I would trust a drug that hadn't been run through an HPLC.

There are professional labs offering free testing in The Netherlands, Spain and other European countries.

Still illegal in France, IIRC. We really have an outdated policy regarding drugs...

France has a severe NIH syndrome.

There are simple reagent test kits that are reasonably accurate and affordable.
