January 2003: Mistral is very pleased to announce an innovation to our Drug Detection and Identification product line. Detect 4 drugs (D4D) is a single aerosol reagent spray, which enables the user to detect/identify 4 types of drugs in one spray shot. Wiping any surface once with the Special Test paper #630, and spraying the paper with the reagent from this can, will reveal traces of: Hashish or Marijuana, as reddish brown stains, Heroin, as purple gray stains, Amphetamine, as canary-yellow stains and Meth-amphetamines, as orange stains (see picture). Detect 4 drugs is kitted with COCA-TEST (cocaine and crack detection) to provide even greater range of drug detection. Stay tuned to our website for more information, or feel free to contact us. |
