The NarcoCheck® IDetect® Nitazenes is a test for the detection of nitazene and its derivatives in powders, solids, liquids or on surfaces.
Nitazenes are a class of synthetic opioids, originally intended for analgesic use. In recent years, however, they have been used as a cutting agent for a number of other drugs, mainly opioids such as heroin and fentanyl, but also other types of substance such as cocaine. Nitazenes are also used as cutting agents for counterfeit medicines.
This test is a risk-reduction tool which detects nitazenes (nitazene, protonitazene, isotonitazene etc.) in different ways:
Also known as Nitazene Presence Test or Nitazene Contamination Test, this detection kit can be used anywhere, simply and in a matter of minutes.
This test has been validated in laboratory with the following molecules:
Note : other molecules belonging to these classes, biochemically very similar, are also highly likely to trigger a positive result, but could not be tested and formally validated to date.
This test does not determine the proportion of nitazenes in the sample analyzed.
Based on an immunological reaction, it detects the tiniest traces of nitazenes.
It will therefore be equally positive for a sample consisting entirely of nitazenes, and a sample partially composed of nitazenes (or cut/contaminated with nitazenes).
Nitazenes are a class of potent synthetic opioid substances, originally developed in the 1950s by researchers to explore alternatives to traditional opioids, such as morphine, for pain management. Their aim was to design effective and potentially less addictive analgesics. However, these compounds were abandoned for medical use due to their excessive potency and high risk of side effects, notably respiratory depression.
Since their creation, nitazenes have rarely been used for medical purposes. Nevertheless, in recent years they have resurfaced on the illicit drug market, notably in unregulated forms and sold online. These substances, like isotonitazene, are often mixed with other drugs or sold as substitutes for conventional opioids, amplifying the risks for consumers.
Today, nitazenes represent a growing threat in the opioid crisis, due to their potency which is up to several times greater than that of fentanyl. This makes them extremely dangerous, even in very small doses, increasing the risk of fatal overdoses. In response, public health authorities are working to strengthen regulation, detection and awareness to reduce their impact.
Nitazenes have serious side effects, including respiratory depression, the leading cause of death by overdose. When used as cutting agents in other drugs, their potency amplifies the risks, as users are often unaware of their presence and dangerousness. A very small dose can cause intense drowsiness, loss of consciousness or respiratory arrest.
They can also cause hypotension, bradycardia, nausea and mental confusion. Prolonged use leads to rapid dependence and increased tolerance, forcing users to take more to obtain the same effects.
The risk of overdose is particularly high in unregulated mixtures, where nitazenes increase overall toxicity. What's more, although naloxone is used as an antidote, it can be less effective against these substances, complicating emergency response. These characteristics make nitazenes a major threat in the current opioid crisis.
Simply analyze the substance with the test provided in the NarcoCheck® Nitazenes detection kit.
The operation takes no more than 10 minutes.
This test can be used to determine whether nitazenes have been used as a cutting agent for heroin, fentanyl, cocaine or even counterfeit drugs.

This test is a professional device used to help identify presumptive drugs or narcotics in the form of powders (fine or agglomerated), crystals, tablets, or some specific plants. It is not designed to test "anything and everything" (food, beverages, biological materials etc.), and particularly everyday products (household, gardening, cosmetics etc.) which contain various chemical compounds that can trigger unexpected reactions, and thus cause false or erroneous results.
Like any rapid test, this test delivers a purely indicative result. To know or confirm with certainty the composition of the sample, it is necessary to analyze it with a reference analytical method such as GC/MS or HPLC-MS/MS. The use of this test must therefore be done with full knowledge of the fact that no rapid screening test can be 100% reliable.
