Hi,no1special said:Here is what I have been able to find so far, the true test I am pretty sure is gold. the others I am guessing by the looks, but if anyone knows I would love to find out.
DO ALL YOUR REFINING OUTSIDE TO BE SAFE FOR YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE
This is going to be small runs to check yeilds on Glucose Test Strips. Hope there are good yields.
Step 1
1. Collect all the Gold Test Strip you can.
2. Then just peeled off the plastic cover on strips
3. The sticky adhesive is still there and it hard to remove it.
4. Good luck cleaning them.
Step 2
1. Put 222 Glucose Test Strips in a small glass jar.
2. Add 20ml Muriatic Acid 31.45% then add Unscented Bleach (small increments) and Stop adding when Gold is dissolve.
3. Filter the yellow liquid into a clean small glass jar. Filter 2 times with a coffee filter.
4. Wait 24 hours to sure there is no Bleach smell at all.
5. Use SMB (Sodium Metabisulfite) to drop the gold.
6. Stannous Chloride for testing for gold in the solution if none then wait over night.
7. Three Rinses with Clean Water and siphon off with each rinse.
8. Warm HCL bath for 20 min. and siphon off HCL.
9. Three Rinses with Clean Water and siphon off with each rinse.
10. Put small glass jar on a coffee warmer heat tell powder is dry.
Step 3
1. Melt your powder.
2. Show off your Gold button.
Hi,no1special said:Yes that is correct, the true test strips for use with the TRUE2go and TRUEresult meters are the ones I am now hunting for in earnest!
mdghamon,mdghamon said:Jack is correct about that. My test results were based on doing 1000 accu-chek strips. After a nitric bath and wash to kill off any organic material I torched the strips slightly ( just enough to wither them) and pulled the upper plastic off. both parts then went into AR to disolve the gold. Allow a day to work as it needs to get under the glue. Precipitate, wash and melt. Total yield on the batch was 9.01 grams or .09 grams per 10 strips. Trying to process anything less than 50 strips at a time you will have a hard time seeing or finding the gold.
Hi,solar_plasma said:just got some maybe silverplated ones, but in my first quick tests I could not dissolve the layers with heated 4M HNO3 with a small amount H2O2...I will post as soon as I have solved this little prob.

Well i'm sure all strips have different amoutns of gold, maybe the accu-chek strips have alot more then the true test ones which is what I did. Accoring to your numbers, I processed 56 strips which should yield me right around half a gram of powder (now keep in mind, i've processed .25 lbs of fingers before and have gotten .5 grams of gold powder). Well I did the 56 strips and all dissolved, but it barely turned the solution yellow and i dropped everything in it with SMB which was barely anything. I couldn't even see powder on the bottom of the beaker.
kkmonte,kkmonte said:Yes I refined all, i'll post pics (tomorrow) of the strips before and after if you don't believe me. LOL
3. The sticky adhesive is still there and it hard to remove it.
solar_plasma said:Just to get it right, when you talk about "chlorox" in this forum, do you really mean the leach which is sold as toilet cleaner, in germany called "danklorix" or "domestos"? If so, that must be a very cheap way.... *deeply thinking*
I just laid 50 pieces stripped Aviva into nail polish cleaner (not acetone, but ethyl acetate) some days ago. The glue is almost gone by itself.
