So, after whipping up the above reagents, I tested it against 5HTP. I put a microscopic amount on a watch glass, added 4 drops of reagent, and then heated slightly on the flame...within 30 sec's it colorized! Sucess!
Anyway I got so inspired I pulled out my stash and did every indole I had... ( the dmt was left over from an extraction and failed to colorize...hmmm must still be in that emulsion
)
I considered getting a color wheel and putting that up with the images, but how many of you have color wheels, so I grabbed the arm and hammer box for the red and yellow and the good ole' VM Naptha can for the blues... This should allow color correction for the purists, although the colors were different enough I wouldn't have any problem using them as they appear...
Anyway, for your viewing pleasure, here are the images...
This shows all of the tests in one shot...
This shows the psilocybin, as a reddish brown and the 5meo-DIPT as a greenish blue... These test are really sensitive...
Here is the lsd as a beautiful clear blue...this is 50 mics of pharmaceutical grade LSD-25 gc'd and mspec'd.
The DPT or DipropyTryptamine is a much deeper slate/blue green...
Here is the 5HTP, a cheap, legal way to test your solution, with another shot of the LSD-25
Here is a reference shot of the 5meo-DMT. It has a much more green tint to it, than the 5meo-DIPT, which has more blue... I may try another image if folks have any questions... and finally...
In this shot, you can see the 5meoDMT having more green in the color and the 5meoDIPT having a bit more blue green...
I hope this inspires folks to do more TLC, as you can see, it is a very useful and satisfying way to validate your results as you go through the experiments...
One thing I would like to point out, is that if you have isolated your DMT, 5meo-DMT, or LSD... you can make your self a standard solution of your compound. Use this visualization reagent with your standard and your compound to test ( extract from your last psychotria order, mh root bark etc.) and by shooting a digital image and comparing the density of the standard against the unknown, you can get ( if your careful ) a fairly good indication of the amount of "active ingredient" in your unknown materials...
Enjoy, and thx to all who make this possible!!!
