Identify Etomidate in Vaping Devices & Liquids The Etomidate Vape Liquid Test Kit is a specialised test designed to detect the presence of etomidate in e-liquid substances, vape cartridges, or KPods. With the increasing presence of this sedative agent in counterfeit and unregulated vape products, this kit is a powerful tool for users, health workers, and harm reduction programs aiming to improve drug safety awareness. Standard Cutoff: 10ug/ml and 50ug/ml. Other cutoffs may be available. Etomidate has the chemical formula C14H16N2O2. It is a short-acting, non-barbiturate intravenous injection with good sedative but not analgesic properties. Anaesthesia occurs in the 20s after intravenous injection and lasts about 5 minutes. The duration of action can be prolonged by increasing the dose. The effect on the respiratory and circulatory systems is mild, there is a brief respiratory depression, systolic blood pressure is slightly decreased, heart rate is slightly increased, no histamine release effect. Etomidate is a white crystalline powder. It acts mainly on the sensory centre of the upper spinal cord and cerebral cortex, inhibiting the transmission of sensory stimuli to the brain. Etomidate is rapidly metabolised to etomidate acid in the liver.

Etomidate is not commonly included in standard drug test panels, yet its misuse in vapes and pods is on the rise. Testing the liquid directly allows for early identification of adulterated products before use, helping to prevent accidental ingestion and serious harm. This is a presumptive test only. Use laboratory analysis for confirmation.
