What are fentanyl test strips?

Fentanyl test strips (‘FTS’) are a form of inexpensive drug testing technology that is effective at detecting the presence of fentanyl and fentanyl-analogs in drug samples. FTS has some known limitations. They do not measure the quantity or potency of fentanyl present in a drug sample. If misused, FTS may not be effective in detecting fentanyl. So, PLEASE ensure you are following instructions properly. The following visual guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to test one’s drugs for fentanyl contamination:
