How to go about getting your gear tested by a lab?

**Big Rush** · 02-27-2003, 02:36 AM

I am getting some 50mg Anavar from C&K labs. I want to get that shit tested, but I need to know how to go about that. Like:

1-How much will it cost per AS?
2-Who do I contact?
3-Is it legal? I'm not a doctor or anything remotely close.

And, yes of course I will post the results on the board. Help me out here bros.

It's about $90 to have it done through www.steriodlabs.com

You need to supply 10 non-broken tabs in order to have the test done. They have it done through SRCS.

here is an excerpt from an interview off elitefitness.com

------------
GT - Who can we trust to test on these products to prove that they are containing what their labels say they are containing?

GS - Well testing is not cheap. It usually runs $150 per ingredient and you have to test usually a fourth a bottle, but the best independent testing labs are:

American Analytical Chemistry Laboratories, Corp. at 217-352-6060

Research Triangle Labs. At 919-876-5870

San Rafael Chemical Services at 801-277-8228

san rafel is cheap @ $90 per pop

**Big Rush** · 02-27-2003, 12:35 PM

Damn, still too rich for my blood....lol.....and I also heard I would have to submit around 10 pills! I want to get Var tested....no wy I'm sending 10 of them...lol

**dizzle** · 02-27-2003, 12:58 PM

I have 5mg ** var, and would consider maybe 18 people who would donate a little $5 contribution and I will send in my own var to get it test. I know there are some people here who use **. Any takers? If test labs come out okay, then many more people can afford it at less than $1 a tab.

I do know of the lab tests that show var as anadrol , but that was over a year ago and a different batch, and have heard that it was a lab mistake. He changed from 10mg vars to 5mg recently and want to get his newest batch tested.

Bump for Dizzle
Def intersted in the ** results.

**JasonNew-b** · 02-27-2003, 03:38 PM

Bizzump!!

**Big Rush** · 02-27-2003, 05:39 PM

Well, I'm using C&K labs from China, any takers on a donation for them? PM me

**ECKO 747** · 02-27-2003, 05:56 PM

I'd like to know two things... 1. Is it legal to test (ie will I get busted for trying to get my gear tested?) II--- WHere in CANADA can I get my gear tested (or can I do it at any lab)?

**ECKO 747** · 02-28-2003, 03:54 PM

BUMP for more info

**labrat** · 02-28-2003, 05:25 PM

SRCS is great, a lil slow but good. Ask for Ben it's the owners son. He's around 20 yo. You can really bargain with these guys.

I have access to a GCand Mass-spec (uv or visable), but I havn't a clue how to test gear. Any info?

**Big Rush** · 02-28-2003, 07:29 PM

If you bro's have access to this testing equipment, hy not make a contribution to the board and test some gear for cost?

....seriously...

**BigBenn** · 03-01-2003, 02:40 PM

Yes I understand how to use both of them and have done it before. But I have only used the GC to find what alcohols were in stuff. I used the spec to find concentration (visual), used the Infared to identify different plastics, and the UV to just screw around with sunscreens. So I know how to use it, could I use the IR and an alcohol solution to find all the chemical bonds and go from there?

well you'd really have to be trained on the instruments, and it depends on what models and software you have as to how easy it is. The GC (gas chromatograph) separates your gear from its solvent and other junk by heating it and flowing it down long coiled column. how long it takes to get down the column can help determine what it is. then the Mass Spec at the end breaks it up into pieces and analyzes them. the breaking pattern is very characteristic of each chemical compound, so it can be used to tell if your gear is legit or not (and clean). the newer models of GC/MS are so easy to use because the have huge computer libraries of chemicals, so when your gear gets analyzed the computer automatically compares it to all of these and you can very accurately tell what it is.

see if you can find somebody that can show you how to use it. and let me know what model instruments you have ... pm me

**BigBenn** · 03-01-2003, 08:51 PM

I will try and get back to you monday.

Cool. Actually the GC can have two different detection methods at the end... UV/Vis is okay, but MS (mass spectrometer) is the best. Because it can compare the molecular fragments to known patterns (or if you really know MS you can look at the fragments masses yourself and largely determine what it is). Can you tell me what model GC you have? Perkin Elmer? Determining structure would be pretty hard with just IR and UV/Vis. You'd probably need NMR too. MS is the best.

**Sigmund Froid** · 03-01-2003, 11:04 PM

bradtn, i suggest you do start a "business" testing gear. If you could offer very good prices, lots of people would pay.

I'm game

**ECKO 747** · 03-06-2003, 07:56 PM

Yeah I'm Game to.....But for all U canuks out there,
Is there any lab out here where I can go get my shit tested without getting jacked by the RCMP?

**BigGreen** · 03-06-2003, 08:53 PM

Not sure how cool this is to start in the open, but i'd certainly make a donation to start some lab testing.

**jkkk** · 03-07-2003, 01:42 AM

I'm from Canada, tell me what you have.
I can tell you if you have Infar Sust250's, real
Infar Deca , real
Pink D-bol, real
Any valopharm product, bunkkk
New Fina w/silver labels + Holagram= O.K but slightly underdosed
Organaon Sust250's w/white+black label = 200mg Enthanate
Spectro labes(Australia) = good
Tokkyo = underdosed, sometimes fake, Out of business now
