OVERVIEW
The Verifique Cannabis Test Kit is a simple, single-use test kit that is designed for cannabis detection. The test can be used to detect cannabis in any kind of sample, including vape pens, edibles, plant material, surfaces, etc. The test will detect any cannabis compound (cannabinoid) present in a sample, including THC (the psychoactive component of marijuana), CBD, CBN, and CBG.
The test consists of two separate pieces, a test pen and a test card, that come sealed in air- and water-proof packaging. The test pen is used to collect your sample, and the test card is used to conduct your test. The entire testing process takes less than 20 seconds to produce a result.
The solvent and reagents used in Verifique’s products are non-toxic and non-hazardous. Although you do not risk exposure to any chemicals from the Verifique test, users may opt to use gloves to protect themselves from the sample they are testing.
How the Test Works
Verifique’s test is designed to detect cannabinoids, meaning any compound derived from cannabis, including THC, CBD, CBG, CBN and CBC. The test will presumptively check if these cannabinoids are present in the portion of the sample that is tested. This means that a positive test result indicates that it is presumptively likely that at least one cannabinoid is present in the sample, in a detectable quantity.
This test cannot be used to discern which cannabinoid is present in the sample, or how many different cannabinoids may be present. The test will not show how much of the test target is present, how it is distributed across the sample, or how strong the sample is.
Presumptive tests are not designed to give certain results and cannot replace a full lab analysis of your sample. A presumptive test cannot be used to assert that substances are safe and cannot be used to assert that substances are illegal.
If you get a:
- Positive Result – It can be presumed that a cannabinoid is present in a detectable volume in the test sample.
- Negative Result – A cannabinoid cannot be identified in a detectable volume, so it cannot be presumed to be present. In the case of a negative, it is possible that the test target may not be present, may be present in an undetectable volume, or that it may be present and may be undetectable for another reason (a false negative result).
What the Test Detects
Verifique’s Cannabis Test is designed to screen for cannabis by testing for cannabinoids, which are the chemical components of cannabis plant. Since the test screens for cannabinoids, it can be used on both plant material, or on any derivative product that contains cannabis oil.
Common derivatives that this test can detect include extracts, tinctures, oils, creams, and gels that contain cannabis, as well as any food product that uses cannabis oil — cookies, brownies, gummies, candies, etc.
The test can also detect cannabis oil in vape pens, including residual oil that remains even after the oil cartridge appears empty.
A list of common cannabinoids that the test will detect is as follows:
Cannabinoids
- Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
- Cannabidiol (CBD)
- Cannabichromene (CBC)
- Cannabinol (CBN)
Contents
The Verifique Cannabis Test Kit consists of three pieces, delivered in a single, sealed sachet.
- 1 x pre-treated VF Test Pen
- 1 x reagent-treated dry paper VF Test Card
- 1 x VF Results Record Card
Test Card
The Verifique Cannabis Test Card is a 3.5” x 2” paper card that consists of three separate sections. The top right corner of the test card is printed with the name of the test.
Instructions: The five panels at the top of the card have instructions for conducting the test.
Test Zone: This is the site of the reagent that will be used in conducting the test.
Color Reference Panel: This color panel provides a quick reference guide for the color patterns that are indicative of positive and negative results. You are looking for the development of a distinct dark red color as an indication of a positive result.
Test Pen
The Verifique Cannabis Test Pen is a plastic pen case that is used to hold the cotton tip used in sample collection. The cotton tip is pre-wetted with a natural solvent to help collect your sample.
To prepare the Pen for testing, simply remove the cap. The tip of the Pen should be damp.
Record Card
The Record Card can be used to take notes about the results of your test upon completion. Fill out the fields on the card as necessary for your personal records. You may also consider taking notes in the blank space at the bottom of the card, and taking photographic record of the results of your test.
