NIK® System, statement of
				principals, procedures and tests.
NIK® Public Safety developed the NIK® System of
				  Narcotics Identification as a means of rapidly screening and presumptively
				  identifying substances suspected of being abused drugs, narcotics and
				  hallucinogens. Designed to be a completely self-contained system, the kit in
				  its several configurations, provides all necessary elements to perform chemical
				  color tests for the commonly known and most frequently abused narcotics and
				  dangerous drugs.
Each test pack contains the chemical required to perform the
				  desired test in pre-filled, hermetically sealed glass ampoules. This eliminates
				  the need for measuring, mixing and dispensing of reagents while affording a
				  maximum of protection to the investigator. Reagent shelf life is also
				  substantially prolonged by this method of packaging. Chemicals used are ACS
				  grade or better, providing the highest rate of accuracy.
The NIK® System is designed to function as a
				  transportable-mininarcotics identification laboratory. It may be carried with
				  you and it therefore, available for use whenever and whenever the need may
				  arise.
"COLORMETRIC CHEMICAL TESTING"
The NIK® System employs chemical colormetric comparison
				  as the means by which narcotics and other controlled substances are screened
				  and presumptively identified. Each test pack contains one or more chemical
				  reagents which will predictably develop a color or a series of colors in the
				  presence of the most commonly known narcotics and dangerous drugs. When the
				  predicted color reaction occurs while following the recommended test sequence.
				  a positive identification is presumed. A positive identification is considered
				  a component of probable cause and generally recognized within our legal system
				  as being presumptive in nature.
"NIK® POLYTESTING SYSTEM"
The NIK® System of Narcotics Identification is based upon
				  a poly testing procedure whereby a suspect material is subjected to a series of
				  progressively discriminating screening tests. The results of a single test may
				  or may not yield a valid result. However, the sequential results of several
				  tests, if they all indicate a positive reaction for a particular substance,
				  provides a high degree of certainty that the suspect material is in fact what
				  the NIK® Poly testing System indicates it to be.
Experiments have been and continue to be conducted with
				  hundreds of licit and illicit chemical compounds in a continuing effort to
				  eliminate false positive results. No chemical reagent system, adaptable to
				  field use exists, that will completely eliminate the occurrence of an
				  occasional invalid test result. A complete forensic laboratory would be
				  required to qualitatively identify an unknown suspect substance. In absence of
				  such a laboratory facility, the NIK® System, utilizing the recommended Poly
				  testing procedure, is your best assurance that the presumptive results of a
				  positive identification are what they appear to be.
"NIK® TESTING CAPABILITY"
The NIK® System will presumptively identify most
				  substances which fall within the following general groups of abused
				  drugs:
A. Cannabis sativa L.
B. Depressants
C. Hallucinogens
D. Narcotics
E. Stimulants

Sirchie NARK® II Statement of Scientific Principles.
SIRCHIE NARK® II SYSTEM OF NARCOTICS
				  IDENTIFICATION
Sirchie's NARK® II Progressive System for Drug
				  Identification has the capability of presumptively identifying several families
				  of substances suspected of being abused drugs. Designed to function as a
				  transportable narcotics laboratory, it is available for use wherever the need
				  for its capability might arise. Each of the tests is comprised of one or more
				  chemical reagents based on National Institute of Justice Standard 0604.01
				  and/or UN Standard ST/NR/13RE V1. When a predictable color or series of colors
				  occur within a specific testing sequence, a positive identification may be
				  presumed.
COLORIMETRIC CHEMICAL TESTING
The NARK® II System employs chemical colorimetric
				  comparison as the means by which narcotics and other controlled substances are
				  screened and presumptively identified. Each test pack contains one or more
				  chemical reagents which will predictably develop a color or a series of colors
				  in the presence of the most commonly known narcotics and dangerous drugs. When
				  the predicted color reaction occurs while following the recommended test
				  sequence, a positive identification is presumed. A positive identification is
				  considered a component of probable cause and generally recognized within our
				  legal system as being presumptive in nature.
Interpretation of Generated Colors
For purposes of colorimetric confirmation, it is not required
				  that you obtain an exact color match. Your colors, however, must fall within a
				  general area of the targeted family of color(s) referenced for that particular
				  substance. Continue to keep in mind three important factors when reviewing your
				  generated colors:
(1) The basic color
				or lack of color.
(2) Any color
				shift or change:
e.g.
, orange to brown.
(3) The location of colors within the test
				pouch.
NARK® II POLYTESTING SYSTEM
The NARK® II System of Narcotics Identification is based
				  upon a poly testing procedure whereby a suspect material is subjected to a
				  series of progressively discriminating screening tests. The results of a single
				  test may or may not yield a valid result. However, the sequential results of
				  several tests, if they all indicate a positive reaction for a particular
				  substance, provides a high degree of certainty that the suspect material is in
				  fact what the NARK® II testing indicates it to be. Experiments have been
				  and continue to be conducted with hundreds of licit and illicit chemical
				  compounds in a continuing effort to eliminate false positive results. No
				  chemical reagent system, adaptable to field use exists, that will completely
				  eliminate the occurrence of an occasional invalid test result. A complete
				  forensic laboratory would be required to qualitatively identify an unknown
				  suspect substance. In absence of such a laboratory facility, the NARK® II
				  testing, utilizing the recommended procedure, is your best assurance that the
				  presumptive results of a positive identification are what they appear to
				  be.
NARK® II TESTING CAPABILITY
NARK® II provides for presumptive identification of the
				  following groups of drugs:
A. Cannabis Sativa L.
B. Hallucinogens
C. Stimulants
D. Depressants
E. Narcotics
Material or Substance Classification
Hard Materials or Tablets
If unidentifiable, crush into powder form and begin
							 testing with NARK2001 Marquis Reagent
Capsules
If unidentifiable, carefully remove a portion of powder
							 from the capsule and begin testing with NARK2001 Marquis Reagent
Powders
Begin with NARK2001 Marquis Reagent
Plant Material
Use several at least 1/4" long particles and place
							 into NARK2005 Duquenois-Levine or NARK20023 Synthetic Cannabinoid Reagent
Brown or Black Tar Heroin
Place into NARK20011 Mecke's Modified Reagent a size
							 similar to the top of a pinhead
Buprenorphine
Place a size similar to the top of a pinhead, into
							 NARK20010 Special Opiates Reagent, confirm with NARK20011 Mecke's Modified
							 Reagent.
Liquid Samples should not be placed directly into the test
				  pouch. Instead, wet a piece of sterile paper approximately 1/2" x
				  1/2" or sterile swab, with two or three drops of the suspect liquid,
				  permit the paper or swab to briefly air dry and then insert the paper or swab
				  into the pouch. A sterile swab is ideal for this transfer.
Storage
Ideally field tests should be stored at room temperature
				  (70°F +/- 10° or 21°C +/- 3°). NEVER allow these tests to be
				  exposed to direct ultraviolet rays (either direct sunlight or fluorescent
				  lighting). Examples of incorrect storage; desk tops, window sills, vehicle
				  seats and the front and back decks of vehicles. If tests are frozen, DO NOT
				  USE, dispose and replace. Note: If tests are cold, the color reactions will
				  appear slower. If tests are hot, the color reactions will appear faster than
				  listed.
