What substances can you test?
Transparency Testing can test a diverse range of substances, including psychoactive substances, gel tabs, gummies, supplements, nootropics, pharmaceuticals, plant preparations, tinctures, pills, powders, liquids, blotters, fungi, and extracts. We also assess pesticide residues and other toxic additives. Our lab employs advanced methods to quantify major components and identify active ingredients, even in trace amounts. However, we do not test radioactive, biological, or biohazardous materials. See our Services page to read about which services test what.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within one week from when your sample arrives at our lab. While shipping times vary, using a fast shipping option with tracking can expedite the process.
How will I receive my results?
A PDF report with your results will be sent to your email, with the subject “Your Analysis Results are Ready from Transparency Testing.” Make sure to check your Spam folder! Results are typically available within one week from when your sample arrives at our lab. If it has been over a week since your sample arrived at our lab, and you still have not received your results, feel free to reach out to us at testing@infinitetransparency.com.
I placed an order. Where do I send my sample?
After placing your order, you will receive an order confirmation, followed by an email with the mailing instructions for where and how to send your sample. If you ordered multiple services, you will receive multiple Shipping Instructions emails! For each Sample ID, the email’s subject will be “IMPORTANT: Shipping Instructions for Sample ID XXXX.” Check your Spam folder if you do not receive this email!
If you ordered multiple services, make sure to send each sample to the correct address, and label each sample separately. Some sample types need to go to our domestic lab, others need to go to our international lab, depending on the nature of the sample. Samples sent with improper labeling will not be accepted.
Which substances go to the U.S.-based lab, and which go to the Spain-based lab?
Our U.S.-based lab will analyze:
- Cannabis Product (Flower, Edibles, Extracts)
- Mushroom Product (Fruiting Body, Edibles, Extracts)
- Natural Plant or Cactus Material (DMT, mescaline)
- Kratom or Kratom-Based Product
Our Spain-based lab will analyze:
- Powders (MDMA, Cocaine, Ketamine, etc.)
- Pills (Oxy, Ecstasy, Xanax, etc.)
- Blotter, Gel Tabs, Liquids (LSD, GHB, PCP)
How should I prepare my sample for shipping?
- Prepare your substance according to the instructions (the amount needed will be provided).
- Place your sample into a small plastic test tube/vial, or sealable baggie. If it is liquid, it must be in a plastic test tube/vial and sealed with tape.
- Place this test tube, vial, or baggie into another ziplock baggie. If it is liquid, we recommend double bagging your sample.
- Label your ziplock bag with your Sample ID (make sure to include the “TT”).
- Put your labeled ziplock bag with your sample into an envelope, preferably a bubble-wrapped envelope to ship. Drop your envelope in a mailbox, or take it to the post office (or private courier of your choice) to ship and receive tracking. You will receive the shipping address upon placing an order.
Is it safe to send samples in the mail?
Properly packed, small amounts of samples are safe to mail. We do not accept or process samples that are radioactive, biological, or pose other physical dangers. Incorrectly packaged or unsafe samples will be discarded.
We understand you may not want your sample returned to your address if it does not make it to our lab. You do not need to list a return address for standard mailed envelopes—whether you include a return address or not will not affect delivery. However, some Priority Shipping options may require a return address—if this is the case, you may list an address of your choosing.
I’m shipping from the U.S. to your lab in Spain. Do I need to get tracking for my envelope?
Getting tracking with your shipment is the best way to ensure your sample will arrive safely, and that you know where it is if there are any delays. While this may require going into a post office, it is the best way to ensure your sample will arrive.
Can I send different samples together in the same envelope?
Yes, but each sample needs to be labeled with their individual Sample IDs. If you put samples in the same envelope, make sure these samples are supposed to go to the same lab! Some sample types need to go to our domestic lab, others need to go to our international lab, depending on the nature of the sample. Follow the address in the Shipping Instructions email for each Sample ID.
Is it legal to have my sample analyzed?
Analyzing controlled substances is legal in Spain, where our labs operate, provided samples are small and analyzed scientifically. Similarly, the substances that are accepted at our Colorado-based lab are legal to analyze in the state of Colorado. While our service is private and does not require personal information (payments can be made using cryptocurrencies), you should verify the legality under your local laws.
Do I need to give personal information? Is my information protected?
Privacy is extremely important to us. Providing personal information is not necessary, and transactions can be entirely anonymous if paid with cryptocurrency. If you choose to provide personal information, such as paying by credit card, your information is secure and protected under our privacy policy. We will never share any personal information, and your data will be deleted from our systems after 1 month.
Do I need to list a return address?
We understand you may not want your sample returned to your address if it does not make it to our lab. You do not need to list a return address for standard mailed envelopes—whether you include a return address or not will not affect delivery. However, some Priority Shipping options may require a return address—if this is the case, you may list an address of your choosing.
What other testing options are available if I can’t afford lab testing, or prefer not to send my samples through the mail?
If you cannot send your sample into our lab, at-home testing is an excellent alternative. Though at-home testing is not as accurate as lab testing, it is still much safer than not testing at all. There are many options for at-home test kits for almost any substance on the market, along with fent strips and xyl strips at BunkPolice.com.
What happens if a sample does not arrive or it is seized by customs (when sending internationally)?
If a sample does not make it to our lab after 2 months, we will provide a full refund for the cost of the test purchased. Unfortunately, we cannot refund shipping costs.
Why is one lab located in Spain, and the other in the U.S.?
Due to legal restrictions, U.S.-based labs cannot analyze every substance on the market. Our U.S.-based lab can analyze cannabis, mushrooms, DMT, mescaline, and kratom. Our international lab can analyze powders (MDMA, Cocaine, Ketamine, etc.), pills (Oxy, Ecstasy, Xanax, etc.), blotters, geltabs, liquids (LSD, GHB, PCP), and more.
Do you offer custom analyses?
We can offer custom analyses tailored to your specific needs, whether you require unique NMR experiments, specific mass spectrometry tests, or particular extraction procedures. Contact us with your requirements—we are committed to accommodating individual needs.
Can you test samples in bulk?
For more than 10 samples, please contact us to discuss bulk testing options. We offer discounts depending on the number of samples submitted for analysis.
How much of an edible should I send in for analysis?
We need a minimum of 10 grams, or 6 servings / 1 package. If you are looking to measure the milligram amount per serving, we recommend sending a full package (a full chocolate bar or pack of gummies) with at least 6 servings. If it is a single-serving edible, we need a minimum of 10 grams of the edible.
Can I send gel tabs in for analysis?
Yes, gel tabs can be tested with either our Full Identification Analysis, or our Complete Analysis (Identification + Purity). They cannot be analyzed using our more basic options!
