JACKSONVILLE, Florida – Forensics Source™ announced that it has launched a new line of field drug test kits to address the proliferation and criminalization of “bath salts” as controlled substances. These bath salts tests come packaged in a single-use, three-stick test kit configuration that ensures officers have all necessary tests on hand at all times. This cost effective solution is now available in both NIK® and ODV™ brand variants to complement our other colorimetric drug test kit lines.
“Bath Salts are one of the most prolific and growing abused substances across the nation today,” commented Eric Schellhorn, General Manager for Forensics Source. “Patrol officers, correctional officers, CSIs and others in the law enforcement community have been searching for a tool to help them combat this new drug. We leveraged our legendary NIK and ODV field drug test kits, the number one and two presumptive drug test brands worldwide, to come up with this easy, accurate and cost-effective field testing solution for bath salts.”
NIK and ODV Bath Salts test kits incorporate high-quality Scott’s and Marquis Reagents kits along with a Sodium Nitroprusside Reagent kit to presumptively identify bath salts in the field. The use of three tests provides a stronger scientific basis for the presumptive identification of the components of bath salts. The stick test configuration is quick, easy and inexpensive to use by all officers. Test kits contain all three reagents and come packaged in a convenient plastic container that stores easily and serves as a disposal case for used reagents. Simple instructions are included with all tests.
NIK and ODV Bath Salts Tests sell for $4.95 each and are currently available from Forensics Source distributors or on our website at www.forensicssource.com.
