Advice on testing the piracetam I was sent
Original post in this thread

First off, let me state that I've made a big mistake. I've sought out /r/Nootropics as I want to figure out what the hell I've purchased (thought it was piracetam).
I've bought from Cerebral Health (now Biosciences Nutraceuticals, abbreviated as BSN) for the past three years.
I didn't know about their quality issues, as I always received piracetam powder that looked the same as before.
That seems to have changed as I got two bags of strange, coarse grained piracetam.
Here's a photo with a quarter for scale.
The questions I have are:
1) Where/how can I find someone to test this for purity?
2) Is piracetam ever supposed to look like this?
In the meantime, I've ordered a piracetam from PowerCity as per the wiki here. I should have enough backup supply until then.
I understand that this may be seen as bad form. I'm open to suggestions for a better place to post this.

PM me your address and I'll see if I can send you a... jar of whatever this is (or any other container). I've written this batch off as defective – hopefully you can shed light on my idiot purchase so others can avoid it.
Edit: you can have a whole kilo, still in the resealable bag (opened once, swore at, and closed)

No need for the whole kilo. Just a 5-10g sample should be fine.
