yes. its so simple even the cops can perform that one.
if that’s news, I’m concerned about the those “reactions”.
Never had my shit tested by the cops so wouldn’t know
I try to avoid that “lab”
Just needed clarification
Make a solution of ethanol and potassium hydroxide where the KOH is 5% of the total weight of the solution.
Thank ya!

if you’d like to buy that, I’m happy to take donations.
And thank ya for the title change… was about to do it😂
kind of a different topic but isnt there a similar quick and simple test you can do to determine if decarb is complete?
Maybe we can add that to this short thread and make the title represent both processes. (i did a search and couldnt find it but swear i have seen it here somewhere)
bromocresol green. It’s in Tricks of the trade - #655 by CdpIchem
And I’ve linked it in multiple other places…
Thanks!! I knew you would know where it was.
Great idea!
I’m betting the TLC plate can be replaced with a filter paper…
Oddly, it does not! Lower right hand corner of a TLC plate are samples of a decarb product and a crude sample. The center is a paper filter and the ones on the right were spotted on plain paper. Interesting, no?
Thank you!
Pity.
Great thing about being wrong is I learned something
Now I’m curious! I wonder if just gypsum would work or if the silica is a necessary ingredient. I wonder if another adsorbent would work either (I see a future use for all that zeolite dust that seems to accumulate in our media drying ovens)
drywall?!?
It’s traditionally “the other stuff” in TLC plates so who knows. Certainly cheaper to buy your analytical supplies at home depot than sigma
Calcium carbonate, gypsum and other such natural materials wer among the first ever used to perform chromatography!
this works for sodum hydroxide as well.
I have had traces of CBD show up pink even when doing sodium bicarbonate washes.
I think the colour change will work with all alkali bases.
