Meth test kits only reveal the presence of methamphetamine
With meth test kits there is a high risk of false positives or negatives and the results can be faked. They're also not as robust as laboratory testing. As an indicative only test there is no way to work out the level of contamination, only the presence of meth could be identified.
These meth test kits are also ineffective on porous materials, and only basic instructions are provided on how to take a reading, but not what to test and what not to test to give you an indication of the problem.
