NARK® II PResumPtIve dRug test KItsSIRCHIE Finger Print Laboratories offers the NARK® II Progressive System for Drug Identification. NARK® II has the capability of presumptively identifying several families of substances suspected of being abused drugs. Designed to function as a transportable narcotics laboratory, it is available for use wherever the need for its capability might arise. Each of the tests is comprised of one or more chemical reagents. When a predictable color or series of colors occur within a specific testing sequence, a positive confirmation may be presumed.
Presumptive identification is generally recognized within our legal system as a component of probable cause. There is no drug identification system presently in use which completely eliminates the occurrence of false positives and false negatives. A forensic laboratory is required to qualitatively identify an unknown substance.
SIRCHIE offers a variety of combination NARK®II field kits in rugged plastic cases containing from 16 to 130 individual tests. Custom kits are also available—contact SIRCHIE NARK® sales at (800) 356-7311 for details and quotes.
