Had these tests done by Jano recently, sharing here in case anyone finds them useful.
Note that the Epistane results show only DMT present, but upon researching, it seems that the episulfide ring is prone to thermal decomposition, yielding DMT when cleaved.
A DEA test report corroborates this -- it seems that you need to use HP/LC to accurately test Epi, as the temperature in GC/MS injector port columns is too high:
See PDF here: https://www.swgdrug.org/Monographs/Methylepitiostanol.pdf
Note in bold red font on page 2: "Methylepitiostanol breaksdown on GC-FID and GC/MS"
Only the NMR and FTIR were able to give accurate analyses.
It was suggested to me that I could perform a basic sulfur test, using Wet Digestion + Barium Precipitation, using Barium Chloride.
If there is _any_ amount of sulfur-containing molecule present, it will precipitate out. I don't care enough to do this, since I'm nearly certain it's Epistane.
