Test of synthetic cannabinoids type K3, or "AB-PINACA"

Synthetic Cannabinoids K3 (or "AB-PINACA") urine test

Test for synthetic cannabinoids of the K3 type (Pinaca, Binaca, Butinaca, Fubinaca etc.).

K3 is the second generation of synthetic cannabis to appear on the market. It is also the one most frequently found in customs seizures.

About this test

The NarcoCheck® K3 rapid test strip is an immunoassay for fast the detection in human urine of synthetic cannabis of type "K3". 

The K3 class includes molecules such as PINACA, FUBINACA, BINACA, and BUTINACA.

Today, K3s are one of the most frequently detected groups of synthetic cannabinoids in police and customs seizures, adulterated cannabis weeds, and certain e-liquids.

This class of substances is evolving rapidly: new derivative molecules appear regularly in an effort to circumvent bans and screening tests. This is why the NarcoCheck K3 urine test was designed as a broad-spectrum test, capable of targeting K3s as a whole rather than a single specific molecule.

Synthetic cannabis is an artificial chemical substance that has nothing to do with natural cannabis. It is called “cannabis” because it acts on the same receptors in the body, the CB1 and CB2 receptors, but its chemical composition is entirely different. It therefore requires a specific screening test.

This test has been evaluated and validated in the laboratory with dozens of K3 molecules. For more details, see the “Sensitivity / Specificity” section.

FAQ

What is the difference between the K2, K3 and K4 test?

There are 3 types of synthetic cannabis:

  • K3 emerged in the early 2010s and saw a sharp rise in popularity between 2013 and 2016. Since then, its popularity has continued to grow, and K3 now accounts for the vast majority of the market and of synthetic cannabinoid seizures. The K3 class includes all molecules of the Pinaca, Fubinaca, Butinaca, etc.
    It is this form of synthetic cannabis that this test detects.

  • K2 was the first class of synthetic cannabinoids to emerge. Known as “Spice,” it enjoyed immense popularity between 2008 and 2012, largely due to molecules such as JWH-018, JWH-073, AM-2201, and CP 47,497. It is still found today, but in much smaller quantities compared to K3.
    There is a specific NarcoCheck urine test for K2 (Spice).

  • K4 refers to UR-144, a synthetic cannabinoid that emerged in 2011–2012. It enjoyed immense popularity until 2015. Since then, it has largely been replaced by K3. It is rarely found today.
    There is a specific NarcoCheck urine test for K4 (UR-144).
