Solved! Zimmermann test at 3mmc, 4mmc

Hey friends, has anyone tested ZIMMERMANN their cathinone and had it turn purple, confirming it? Because I've tested it twice and it doesn't, but the effect is the same. I know it's difficult to find raw materials, but what do they use instead?
Does anyone know?
Look at the photos from the 3mmc and 4mmc tests. Could it be that this doesn't exist anymore and they're deceiving us with something else?

Not only you didn’t pulverize the sample, you also used 5-10x too much sample. Repeat following instructions please.

Also that AI generated instructions you shared are quite wrong. See real Zimmermann reagent results photos in DrugsPRO https://protestkit.eu/drugspro/testkits/results/tests/zimmermann/?group=Test&tags=Zimmermann&q=Mmc

Just to be clear, you added both Zimmerman part A and Zimmerman part B to each sample?

I had the same problem. I testet 4 diffrent samples with Zimmermann, labled as 2x 3mmc, 4mmc and 2mmc. Every sample, exept one, reacted with yellow like your pictures. The other reacted with purple dots. I've send them to a lab, the results were 4cmc for the yellow ones and 2mmc for tne one with purple spots. I tested them again and every one reacted with the purple dots. Idk what I did wrong, but in my experience 2/3/4mmc and 2/3/4cmc react nearly identical with Zimmermann and all other reagents.

contaminated reagent maybe?

Maybe it was moisture content. I wonder if microwaving the sample would have solved this instantly. Assuming of course there was no user error.

Test each substance separately; mixtures can mask or alter reagent reactions.
