In another thread, I had asked TSORon about these and what liquid explosives they are designed to detect but he stated he could not divulge any info on them. The container for these that I saw was unmarked. If I look up any other equipment that TSA uses, there is plenty of open source info on these. However, to date, I have not found any open source info on the non-dipping test strips.
(emphasis mine)
Nobody from TSA is coming anywhere near my gear with some "testing" supply that comes out of an unmarked bottle. If I don't have the ability to locate an MSDS for a chemical product, it ain't getting in close proximity to me (sorry, too many years in the firehouse and too many HazMat classes).

Of course, my guess at the reason for the unmarked bottle - TSA knows some people will search for information, find out that it is more BS theater and post on the 'net.
