I doubt that it's the same test, but here's what Goggle offers for a substance test,I.e. non urine or hair, but the suspect chemical itself.

Re: Australian woman detained in Cambodia, after nearly 2kg of heroin found in her luggage at PP airport.
The news reporting on this case in the English Language media is confused and contradictory. Was the woman coming or going ?
This is an important point, because trafficking heroin into South East Asia from South America would be a most unusual event. It is much more likely that the woman was paid to take heroin from Cambodia to Australia.
Here - in Yahoo news - they have decided to say that she is both coming and going, which will give them a 100% chance of guessing correctly. While the headline says the woman was found with heroin when ENTERING Cambodia, several lines below, it is written that she was arrested when LEAVING Cambodia for Australia via Hong Kong.
Australian allegedly found with stash of heroin inside suitcase as she entered Cambodia
AAP / January 7th, 2018
The AFP is working with Cambodian authorities who have arrested an Australian woman at Phnom Penh International Airport for allegedly trying to smuggle almost two kilograms of heroin in her luggage.
Cambodia's immigration department said on its official Facebook page that 1814 grams of heroin were found embedded in the side of Ve Thi Tran's suitcase in several different packages.
An immigration official at Phnom Penh airport, who declined to be named as he was not authorised to comment, said the 37-year-old was preparing to return to Australia via Hong Kong when she was arrested while checking in at the airport on Saturday...

They say here that she had done it before.
https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50594954/v ... ing-drugs/Lieutenant Colonel Hun Sothy, the Interior Ministry’s Anti-Transnational Crimes Department’s deputy chief, today told the court that the accused worked for an international drug trafficker and had previously transported drugs from Cambodia for sale in Australian casinos in 2017.
He said that on January 5 last year, Australian police informed Cambodian police of her activities and requested she be arrested.

Cambodia sentences Australian to 30 years for drug trafficking
Phnom Penh, Cambodia / Fri, April 26, 2019
An Australian woman was sentenced to 30 years in prison by a Cambodian court on Thursday, for attempting to smuggle almost two kilograms of heroin out of Phnom Penh.
Ve Thi Tran was arrested at Phnom Penh airport last January by immigration police after they received a tip from the Australian Federal Police.
The thirty-eight year old was about to board a flight to Hong Kong, bound for Australia as her final destination.
The municipal Court found her guilty of drug trafficking after she had been held in Phnom Penh's notorious Prey Sar prison for more than a year.
"The court has decided to sentence Ve Thi Tran to 30 years in jail and fines her 80 million riel ($19,700)," said Judge Khuon Sona.
The Vietnamese-born Australian admitted to the court on April 9 she carried the bags of heroin, which she received from two Vietnamese men in Phnom Penh.

Re: Australian woman detained in Cambodia, after nearly 2kg of heroin found in her luggage at PP airport.
So the Australian authorities knew what she was upto and informed the Cambodians,why not wait and nab her in Australia? or were they thinking there laws are not tough enough on drug smuggling.
Re: Australian woman detained in Cambodia, after nearly 2kg of heroin found in her luggage at PP airport.
I dont know in this case. But in another case the Australian authorities didnt know all involved. There were also other couriers. If they get them this end, they may theoretically also get others involved. In this case they dont appear to have.
## I thought I knew all the answers, but they changed all the questions. ##
