Assumed to be fentanyl
2 major substances detected:
And we also found traces of medetomidine. Trace substances in small quantities are usually harmless but can sometimes cause health problems. Unexpected sensations may be due to these. The trace designation indicates the conclusive identification of the substance at a relatively low abundance compared to the sample's primary component(s). A substance is designated as "trace" when the peak height is less than 5% of the height of the most abundant peak detected in the sample.
Fentanyl is potent and the amount changes by batch. If you weren't expecting it, consider getting test strips online or from a harm reduction program. Carry naloxone (Narcan) to reverse overdoses. Don't use alone so someone can help if you go out.

Method(s): GCMS
For pills and fake pills, you may see extra peaks on the left hand part of the chromatogram. These represent fillers and trace chemicals from the pill binder. These substances are better isolated using infrared light (FTIR), and GCMS only provides limited information. See note below under 'What we can and can't tell'. Contact us if you want details.
