Jun 19 2024: Previously unknown spectrum has been identified by library match as 5-methoxy NiPT [CAS# 109921-55-3]. (Thank you Y., Josh, and Alex)
Jun 4 2024: 5-methoxytryptamine standard was purchased and analyzed and it does not match the sample. Identification by library match (98% match) was incorrect. This substance remains unidentified.
Mar 22 2024: 5-methoxytryptamine identified by library match. Our lab does not currently have a certified reference standard for 5-methoxytryptamine, but one is available. It might be months before we see the results of any new analysis compared to the 5-methoxytryptamine standard. Check back for updates.
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 DEA-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.
