Street drugs do not dis­solve sa­tis­fac­to­rily in wa­ter. It is known that the solu­b­i­lity can be in­crea­sed through hea­ting, but only by ad­ding an acid is the de­si­red re­sult achie­ved.

As­cor­bic and citric acid are mild re­du­cing agents and are used in con­junc­tion with the NaCl so­lu­tion to dis­solve the drug sub­strate. As­cor­bic acid, bet­ter known as vit­amin C, is an or­ga­nic com­po­und, ori­gi­nally cal­led he­xu­ro­nic acid. It has the che­mi­cal for­mula C6H8O6 and is con­tai­ned not only in many fruits, but also, for example, in sauer­kraut.

New: Com­pet Me­di­cal AG laun­ches a new NaCl so­lu­tion to which vit­amin C has al­ready been ad­ded. This so­lu­tion ta­kes on a yel­lo­wish co­lour.
