https://www.scienceexchange.com/services/mass-spectrometry

i found a site with a list of labs thhat do mass specs. I'm going to try my best tomorrow to contact some of them and see if they would perform the necessary tests for what we do. ill start outside the u.s. and try to make a list. it says costs are $40-244, on avg, obviously for different tests on different things. it says there are 81 labs on the list that perform mass specs.

Thanks bud, I'm not going to give upon it, sometimes there is just no obvious answer. if it were to obvious i wouldn't trust it with my freedom anyway. I'm sincerely hoping to find something in eastern europe,india or china. i found something i thought was promising in pakistan but I'm not so sure how safe id feeel sending anything there.

If I told you I was doing HIV tests for free here on eroids...Or cancer tests...or...or... You'd want other options, right? Like maybe an actual real, authentic company that specializes in HIV testing?
I don't put 100% of my trust in ANYONE from the internet, niether should you guys.
Don't get me wrong brother---- It's nice to have an in-house guy. But lets also leave our eyes open

All true, but I know Angus isn't going to have me arrested if there's something odd in my sample. Smile

LOL....true

Its nice to have other options, that guy has two samples pending for me right now, i trust and like the guy but it would be nice to have secondary, even if way more expensive options. Anyway, all the heat the guy is taking i wouldn't blame the guy if he just finished the pending tests that he has and says that's it. other optionns won't hurt anyyone.

Very true. I'm just paranoid about sending gear to labs.

Tell them you found it in your son's room and you want to know what it is....;)

That's actually brilliant.

Be careful with US labs. These are controlled substances in the USA.

Seems to be perfectly fine at the college where all these other tests have been done.

Ya, i thought better of it after a little. hasn't been a fruitful endeavor so far in any case.

I'm even going to contact the u.s. labs, although I'm doubtful maybe ill find something. there are a few foreign ones on the list i feel hopeful about.
