Introduction
We at M.M.C. International are producers of presumptive colorimetric ampoule tests for the police
and customs officers. These tests give a presumptive identification of a suspected substance. These
tests in no way substitute the need for further confirmation by for example GC-MS analysis. Always
have your sample confirmed by a laboratory. In order to give you, the customer, the best
identification possible we do tests at our laboratory to ensure the quality of our products and to
expose possible cross reactions with our tests. In this report we tested our MDMA purity test.

Equipment Used
In our analysis we used a Kern ABS 120-4 analytical balance to weigh the chemicals.
Furthermore we used our GC-MS to confirm the identity of the street samples we used to test the
MDMA purity for cross reactions. Below are the specifications of the GC-MS instrument we used.
The GC was an Agilent Technologies 7820A Gas Chromatograph (GC) with 5975 Mass Selective
Detector (MSD). The system uses a split/split less inlet with an HP5-MS column.
Besides the chemicals and electronic equipment we used regular laboratory supplies and our MDMA
purity test.
Semi-Quantitative Analysis
First, the pure MDMA was cut with Caffeine in 6 different ratios:
Percentage of MDMA
0% (Blanc)
10%
25%
50%
75%
100%
Amount of Caffeine
20mg
18mg
15mg
10mg
5mg
0mg
Amount of MDMA
0mg
2mg
5mg
10mg
15mg
20mg
The weight samples were added to the ampoules and the following results were obtained:
From left to right the amount of MDMA increases, this picture is taken after 60 minutes. The
toplayer can be read at 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes. The longer it stands the clearer the color
differences in color (and concentration) can be determined.

The chart we made according to the test done with different ratios of MDMA and Caffeine. There
are 4 charts made at 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes. The top left one is after 5 minutes, the top right one
after 15 minutes, the bottom left one after 30 minutes and the bottom right after 60 minutes.
In the following chapter we will test the cross reactivity of the MDMA Purity test with several other
substances

Bright yellow top layer, gives residue on the sides of the
ampoule in between the two layers. (MDMA does not
give this residue.)

does not give this residue.)
Same reaction as MDMA because it is so similar

Conclusion:
The MDMA Purity test allows you to test the purity of MDMA and also allows you to detect some of
the cutting agents by looking at the bottom layer of the test and possible residue occurring at the
sides of the ampoule. Unfortunately if one of those reactions is observed the purity of the MDMA
cannot be determined because these substances interfere with the colour produced by MDMA, but
this only occurs in a few cases. This test is designed to be used alongside the MMC Crystal Meth/XTC
(MDMA) test. If this test is positive for MDMA it is possible to determine the purity with this new
MDMA purity test.
We want to thank the local police for lending us the samples for doing the tests with street samples.
