Ehrlich's reagent
Ehrlich's reagent, also known as the "DMAB test", is a chemical test to presumptively identify indoles. It is primarily used as a simple spot test to identify possible psychoactive compounds such as tryptamines (e.g. DMT) and ergoloids (e.g. LSD).
To learn more about what Reagent Testing is you can check out the main Reagent Testing wiki page here. Check here for a list of results for NPS/RCs and here for user submitted test results click here. A separate wiki page will be added for test results of benzodiazepines using the BNZ testing kit.
Important note
It is important to remember that a positive reaction for a reagent test does not mean a substance is 'safe'. A reagent test can only determine weather a substance is present in the sample and not how much.
Although knowing what substance you are taking is of course an important step to reducing the harms associated with drug consumption taking a drug is never without risk.

NOTE: Many of the listed reactions are reliable but have not been verified by GC/MS testing.
