Oct 25 2021: Through DrugsData's expert network, we got a tentative identification of Octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin [CAS# 3268-87-9] for unidentified substance #1. Due to the presence of Pentachlorophenol in the sample, the two other unidentified substances are likely also related, but no matches found.
Sep 21 2021: Please note that the abbreviation 'PCP' can refer to two different chemicals that might be found in a lab, Phencyclidine and Pentachlorophenol.
Phencyclidine is a dissociative psychedelic; Pentachlorophenol is a chlorinated hydrocarbon that's been used for various applications.
If this sample is from a bottle labeled 'PCP', our analytical results are consistent with the 'technical grade' lab chemical Pentachlorophenol, abbreviated PCP. It is not a psychoactive or recreational drug and should not be consumed.
Unidentifed Substances
This sample contains an unidentified chemical. We do not have a matching substance in our lab's internal database and have not yet been able to identify the chemical(s).
We need the help of outside expert analytical chemists and drug geeks to determine what substance matches the mass spectrum (MS) fingerprint.

Send in a sample for testing
DrugsData tests all psychoactive drugs including ecstasy tablets, powders, research chemicals, novel pschoactive substances, and other drugs through our licensed laboratory. Ecstasy/Molly tablets cost $100. Recreational drug powder/crystal/blotter costs $100. Pharmaceuticals, supplements and all others cost $150 per analysis.
Should the public have access to independent analysis of the products they consume?
The vast majority of analyses of over-the-counter, prescription, and recreational drugs are performed in secret with no independent oversite or review. No other historical record, free from politically-controlled agencies, is currently available in North America nor most other parts of the world.
DrugsData, a project of Erowid Center, needs the support of professionals, students, parents, individuals with means, and small foundations for a total yearly budget of around $120,000 USD. Erowid Center's general budget and the co-pays we require fund most of this cost.
Pentachlorophenol (PCP) and 2,3,4,5-Tetrachlorophenol were identified by library match.
Unidentified Substance #1: 1 part
Unidentified Substance #2: 1 part
Unidentified Substance #3: 10 parts
