How to Test LSD
LEVEL 1 – BASIC EVALUATION
Testing with just one or two spot kits for basic adulterant detection
If you can only purchase one spot kit, we recommend the Ehrlich Spot Test Kit. This kit is capable of positively identifying LSD, and detecting the difference between LSD and other substances like AL-LAD and ETH-LAD.
Purchase Ehrlich




LEVEL 2 – COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION (RECOMMENDED)
Testing with our recommended, substance-specific packages for a thorough evaluation
For comprehensive, accurate drug identification, as well as detection of cutting agents, we recommend our LSD Spot Kit Package. In comparison to using just one spot kit, this package provides more certainty when verifying a substance’s contents. It includes the Ehrlich and the Hofmann spot kits. Additionally, purchasing the package is more affordable than purchasing each spot kit individually.
The Ehrlich test kit is the base staple for positively identifying LSD. It also distinguishes between LSD and other substances, such as AL-LAD and ETH-LAD.
The Hofmann test kit also positively identifies LSD, as well as detects DOM, 25iP-NBOMe, ETH-LAD, AL-LAD, and 25B-NBOMe, among others.
Confirming results with a second test kit is highly recommended, because it provides more accuracy when verifying a substance’s contents, and can even reveal the presence of otherwise hidden adulterants.

LEVEL 3 – HIGHEST CERTAINTY EVALUATION
Testing with our Skylab Separation Kit package for the most reliable results available without sending your sample to a laboratory
Our Skylab Separation Kits have the ability to separate mixed substances—allowing you to identify each different component of the mixture individually. A significant advantage of these kits is that they provide an approximate sense of how much of each substance is present—a feature otherwise only possible using full laboratory analysis.
For testing LSD with our separation kits, we recommend the Juno Separation Package, which includes the Ehrlich and Hofmann reagents, among many other useful spot kits.
Alternatively, you could purchase the Curiosity (Pro Level) Separation Package, which includes both of the necessary spot kits, along with every other reagent available on our site—perfect for versatile testing in the future.
