Tracy gone MIA?

Does anyone know if the Gemini tester they use to identify suspicios powders/substsances can identify Tirz or Reta? I have seen them in use on NatGeo CBP documentaries. Its pretty cool, they put a small amount on the sensor and it identifies for the CBP officer if its coke, meth, ecstasy etc. I think the substanance needs to be in the database in the unit to identify it, otherwise it comes back as unknown, but I am not 100% certain on this.

I have seen users post that their shipment was opened by CBP and a the kit only had 9 vials, this is likely them testing it.

I really want to know more about this thing, too. I got in trouble for asking about it somewhere else and now I'm afraid to open my trap.

I asked ChatGPT - It has to be in the database for it to identity it. If GLP's aren't in the database now, my guess is they will be soon.

Prescription Medications Identifiable by Gemini™ Analyzers​

The Gemini™ analyzers are particularly effective at identifying medications that have a distinct chemical signature. These typically include:

  1. Controlled Substances:
    • Opioids (e.g., fentanyl, oxycodone, morphine, hydrocodone).
    • Benzodiazepines (e.g., diazepam, alprazolam, lorazepam).
    • Stimulants (e.g., amphetamine, methamphetamine, methylphenidate).
  2. Common Pharmaceuticals:
    • Pain relievers (e.g., acetaminophen, ibuprofen).
    • Antidepressants (e.g., sertraline, fluoxetine).
    • Antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine).
  3. Illicitly Manufactured Medications:
    • Counterfeit pills mimicking prescription drugs.
  4. Excipients and Additives:
    • Inert substances in tablets or capsules (e.g., lactose, starch) may also be detected to distinguish formulations.

Key Features for Medication Identification​

  • Library Database: The Gemini analyzer comes with an extensive database of chemical signatures, including many prescription drugs and their analogs.
  • Raman and FTIR Benefits:
    • Raman spectroscopy: Excels in identifying drugs in plastic or glass containers without opening them.
    • FTIR spectroscopy: Effective for analyzing solid and liquid samples with unique infrared absorption patterns.

Limitations​

  • Mixtures: Identifying drugs in combination products or mixtures can be challenging.
  • Complex Formulations: Medications with coatings, fillers, or extended-release mechanisms may require additional analysis or sample preparation.
  • Database Scope: The analyzer can only identify substances that are preloaded into its database. Customization or updates may be needed for less common drugs.

So what I'm seeing is, they might start selling more cagrisema, cagri tirz, reta sema mixes to throw them off the scent.
 
I'm having a Gilda Radnor moment with that "Raman"

"What's all this I'm hearing about Raman? Oh... Nevermind"

Did s/he respond? Did you have your "serious relationship"... Wanted to point this out before @chmuse sees the attachment.

Please, I'm attached to my phone. I saw it before you did. 😬
