Cocaine surface wipes have become an essential tool in detecting and deterring drug use on various surfaces. They provide a quick and easy way to identify the presence of cocaine, even in small quantities, making them effective in law enforcement investigations, workplace drug testing, and even in personal use.
In this article, we will discuss how to use cocaine surface wipes, their advantages, where to buy them, and how they can help promote a safer and drug-free environment. Whether you’re a business owner, a concerned parent, or a law enforcement officer, the use of cocaine surface wipes can help you identify and address drug use in a timely and efficient manner.
What Are Cocaine Surface Wipes?
There are many forms of drug testing nowadays and some do not even involve testing the individual. Instead the environment that they live or work in can be tested. A great example of this kind of testing is our Cocaine Surface Drug Detection Wipes.
Cocaine wipes are user-friendly, postcard-sized swabs that are very useful in the workplace or public areas to identify the use or handling of cocaine. Many landlords use cocaine wipes for pubs and bars in order to monitor illegal drug use on their premises.
To use a cocaine surface wipe, just run it over any surface area which could be contaminated with cocaine and look to see if the wipe turns blue. The result using the cocaine wipes is normally immediate and highly accurate. A positive result will appear if the wipe comes into contact any surfaces that have had cocaine on them or that have been touched hands that have been contaminated by cocaine.
How to Properly Use Cocaine Surface Wipes
To get the most accurate results when using cocaine surface wipes, follow these steps:
- Put on disposable gloves to avoid contamination.
- Remove the wipe from its packaging, being careful not to touch the test area.
- Swipe the wipe across the surface you’re testing, using firm pressure.
- Cover an area of about 10cm x 10cm, moving in a zigzag pattern.
- Check the wipe immediately for any colour change – blue indicates cocaine presence.
- For best results, test multiple areas of a surface.
Remember, these wipes are incredibly sensitive. Even trace amounts of cocaine can trigger a positive result. If you get a positive, don’t jump to conclusions – confirm with additional testing methods.
Keep in mind that cocaine wipes have limitations. They can’t tell you how much cocaine is present or how recently it was there. Use them as a screening tool, not definitive proof of drug use.
Can a Cocaine Surface Wipe Also Detect Crack Cocaine?
Yes — our cocaine surface wipe will identify both Cocaine HCl (powder) and Cocaine Base (crack or freebase).
Where Can Cocaine Surface Wipes Be Used?
Our drug wipes are very useful for any business that wants to check if cocaine is being used on their premises. Some of our customers use them to swab company washrooms, lockers, work stations, cars and other vehicles, door handles and light switches. In fact, they can be used on any surface that is flat and smooth and that is frequently handled.
