SN help

[Aliali1992]

So i have SN and enough of it how do i make sure it is 99.9 pure and not 0,4 or something?

Hello, of course you can buy SN test kit on website like ebay.
But generally if 99.9 is written on the package, it is like that.
Otherwise the seller would not last long.

Hmmm, then if you want to ensure it is pure SN, you can use some test kits.

I live in Europe and pure (or almost pure) sn is not sold to private people in my country. I asked from customs here and was told its legal to buy sn as private person from other countries. As long as 14% tax is paid when buying from outside EU to EU country. It's tax free to buy from EU country to EU country.

Person here from France told her sn had been checked in customs (thought it's drugs most likely since it looks same in X-rays used in customs) but then sent normally since it's legal to order sn. :)

It needs to be at least 95% pure.

You can get aquarium testing strips to test for purity, and/or you can mix it with some of your own blood drops (not directly on the skin). The blood must almost immediately turn a dark chocolate brown, not medium or light brown.

@faust, I learned from experience it is important to test, regardless of what's on the label. I ordered based on the specs on the website, and the SN was not pure enough, ordered another from the same maker with a different product number and same supposed level of purity and the second one was pure enough.

Thanks...I've seen such test online...do they detect purity too?

See the aquarium strip thread linked in the Resources Compilation sticky thread and in the SN FAQ thread (also found in the same stickied thread).

I think that official chemical sellers must sell pure staff (I mean 98% pure which they often sell) since they sell the same thing for the companies.
