Hey Nootropics Community,
First of all - thank you for providing a wealth of knowledge and experience with nootropics.
What I can provide - free testing for your supplements in the US. I have a GC/MS and FTIR at my disposal to do purity testing for a range of organic and inorganic supplements. I can tell you whats in your supplement.
What I cannot provide - I won't test illegal drugs. I will not provide chain of custody for samples as I am not operating as part of a licensed analytical lab for QA/QC analysis. No commercial analysis available, if you are a supplier please use your own lab.
What can you expect - I will give you a report with the chemical makeup of the sample you send.
What do you need to do? Send me a PM. You need to include the name of the supplement and the manufacturer. You also need to pay for shipping.

It really depends on what schedule I have. I will be able to provide quick turnarounds for FTIR, GC/MS might be longer because we don't have a large autosampler.

I would probably use you for GC/MS for things that we need futher testing on, since I can use Nootropics Depot's FTIR easily. They are only about 45min from our office.
There is one I really need to figure out right now. It's Powder City's Oxiracetam. There is a very strange flavor, and burning sensation. However, both our FTIR and Colmeric's HPLC show it is pure. There are no peaks that we can see, that would account for the burning. I am thinking GC/MS might be able to find it.
