Oct 5 2021: The substance that was initially unidentified, and then tentatively identified as 1,3 diacetin, is not 1,3 diacetin. At the suggestion of a chemist in Erowid's expert network a reference standard was ordered for triacetin (CAS# 102-76-1), which has a very similar MS. The lab has confirmed the unidentified compound in this sample as triacetin.
May 19 2021: Through DrugsData's expert network, the previously unidentified substance (see spectra, below) has been identified at 1,3 diacetin (CAS# 105-70-4). We are attempting to source a certified standard for 1,3 diacetin to re-run this sample and confirm the identification.

Should the public have access to independent analysis of the products they consume?
The vast majority of analyses of over-the-counter, prescription, and recreational drugs are performed in secret with no independent oversite or review. No other historical record, free from politically-controlled agencies, is currently available in North America nor most other parts of the world.
DrugsData, a project of Erowid Center, needs the support of professionals, students, parents, individuals with means, and small foundations for a total yearly budget of around $120,000 USD. Erowid Center's general budget and the co-pays we require fund most of this cost.
