Transparency Testing FAQs

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 Which Analysis Do I Need to read about which services test what.

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.

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.

After placing your order, you will receive an email with the Sample Survey (to fill out necessary info about your sample), mailing instructions, and mailing address for where to send your sample. The email’s subject will be “Your Transparency Testing Order Has Been Received.” Check your Spam folder if you do not receive this email!

Make sure to fill out the Sample Survey before sending your sample! Samples sent without a completed Sample Survey, or with improper labeling will not be accepted.

1. Make sure your substance is homogenized (mixed thoroughly), then collect your sample accordingly:
   • 10–50 mg for powders/crystalline substances
   • 1 pill
   • 1 blotter
   • 1 g of plant material
   • 2 drops of liquid
2. 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. 
3. Place this test tube, vial, or baggie into another ziplock baggie. If it is liquid, we recommend double bagging your sample. 
4. Label your ziplock bag with your Sample ID (starting with “TT”). 
5. 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. The local post office will be significantly cheaper (even with tracking) than a private courier (UPS, FedEx, etc), but the private courier will be more reliable. You will receive the shipping address upon placing an order.

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.

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.

Yes, but each sample needs to be labeled with their individual Sample IDs.

Yes. Currently, we only allow one sample per order, so if you want us to analyze multiple samples, simply complete the first order and place another. This ensures you have unique Sample IDs for each sample and service you select.

Analyzing controlled substances is legal in Spain, where our labs operate, provided samples are small and analyzed scientifically. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As of now, U.S.-based labs are much more limited in the results reporting they can provide. U.S.-based labs cannot provide quantitative analysis (or purity/potency tests; the milligram/microgram amount of each active substance found in a sample) without a distinct DEA license.

Our lab in Spain can provide the exact milligram/microgram amounts, and has more complete testing capabilities regarding the types of tests that can be performed, and the types of samples we accept.

We are, however, in the process of offering a U.S.-based lab option in the near future with testing and reporting capabilities up to the standard of our current one in Spain!

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.

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.

NOTE: We do NOT currently test THC extracts.

For substances in liquid extract form, you can choose either the Full Identification Analysis, or the Complete Analysis (Purity + Identification). The Complete Analysis (Purity + Identification) is our typical recommendation—this would give you the major and minor component identification, along with purity measurement (amount of each major ingredient). The Full Identification Analysis would provide the major and minor components, but not tell you purity/concentration of these components. 

With either test you choose, our lab would need to know the approximate concentration—how many supposed milligrams of substance there are per milliliter of liquid, and/or how many drops or milliliters one dose is supposed to be. Please make sure to include this information in the notes of your Sample Survey!

We would need the equivalent of one “dose.” We accept gummies and chocolates, but we cannot accept any other edibles. We can only screen gummies and chocolates with our Full Identification Analysis, which would fully identify the contents and components present. Our other lower packages are not suitable for gummies and chocolates, and we cannot conduct quantitative analyses (purity, or amount of active substance) on these types of edibles.
