What??

What??

I tend to have very bad mornings and I understood it as a jab at me, as none of the possibilities I had mentioned can really be considered an alternative to my services, as they all would serve nothing but identification purposes.

Awww the meds man, the meds. Can't miss those. Why do you always have an excuse for your lies and psychotic behavior?

Get over yourself.

@janoshik dam near has a monopoly with lab testing. Almost, let's call it little competition.. Yet he is such a untrustworthy lying peice of shit, people still dont trust his tests or him. Truly pathetic when you think about it and only he is to blame.

Wow. I could care less about winning or losing an argument. I am trying to provide information that could potentially help members. I think most people here know me and know that very well.

On the other hand, I could also say that you don't care whether it's feasible or not. And that you just want to find ways to continue pushing sales of your services on this forum.

As far as your argument is concerned...

Your argument here is simple: the information in Bill Roberts article about NMR is completely useless.

My argument is simple also: the information could empower some individuals to seek a certified lab for NMR analysis + certified chemist for interpretation as a method of substance analysis.

The only question I have is the feasibility.

The article certainly encourages qualified people to interpret it themselves but warns that most people can't do this. Just because the article says it is the individual's job to interpret does not mean that the individual is literally the only person who should interpret it.

The takeaway and conclusion is that the individual hire an expert to perform this step. Again, some people are sufficiently resourceful to do this. Some are not.

The problem with NMR is twofold:
1 NMR machines are often even more expensive than GC-MS

2 NMR machines require extremely pure samples. Often needing a previous liquid-chromatography run, then evaporating the solvent, just to purify them enough for NMR analysis.
This further adds to #1 cost.

Anyone know of a domestic testing outfit for items that are legal?

There are like 50 of the big ones alone, countless small ones.
What you are looking for is contract laboratory.

Whay do you think about FTIR Spectrometer?
Is it a reliable method to test if your var is in fact var and not 50% flour and 50% dbol?

Have access to free analysis in Canada

Spectrometer can be effective in identifying a compound. It will not give you quantities of the compound. I wouldn't bother. It's a LabMax roids, pun Intended, it will leave you guessing.
