UniqueCode:More infoUnique Lookup Code is an alphanumeric string created by the submitter and included with the sample so anonymously submitted samples can be positively identified as the submitter's sample. AC2021B851
Marquis:More infoThe Marquis Test is a reagent field test conducted by placing a drop of reagent liquid onto a small sample of the material being tested. The chemicals in the reagent react differently with different chemicals, turning a variety of colors based on the what is in the material being tested. Unknown
Mecke:More infoAs with the Marquis Test, The Mecke Test is a reagent field test conducted by placing a drop of liquid reagent onto a sample of the material in question. Mecke reagent is primarily used for the identification of heroin and other opiates. Unknown
Mandelin:More infoThe Mandelin Test is a reagent field test conducted by placing a drop of liquid reagent onto a sample of the material in question. Mandelin is primarily used for the detection of ketamine and PMA. It is a mixture of ammonium metavanadate and concentrated sulfuric acid. Unknown

Lab comments:
Baggie rinse analyzed twice, small GC/MS response.
Description
Tan powder in baggie. Sample size was too small to conduct reagent tests.
Note
2021 Sep 24: Our experts have identified both of the substances in this sample and our lab has confirmed these identifications with certified reference standards from Sigma-Millipore-Aldrich / Cerilliant.

Unidentified #1 was a clear match for Octocrylene (CAS 6197-30-4).

Unidentified #2 was a slightly less clear match to Bis(2-ethylhexyl) isophthalate. We received the standard for this and ran it several times. It matches, nearly perfectly, the unidentified#2. On a technical note, this chemical GCs so efficiently and clearly changes in the GC column that we ran it through at several dilutions, trying to match the amount in the original sample, and saw that the mass ion m/z heights moved around a little based on the exact run parameters. We now consider this a resolved identification.
Note
DrugsData has no explanation for the combination of these two chemicals in this 'Mystery' sample. They are ingredients in sunscreens and plasticizers. No psychoactive drugs detected.
