COCAINE DRUG SWAB TEST

Here is a surface residue identification product that offers major advantages in narcotics investigation cases.

Packaged in individual foil envelopes, the 1″ x 1 1/2″ swabs are easy to carry in a pocket.

Unlimited shelf life assures that these swabs will provide accurate, reliable results when and where you need them.
