I was under the impression that it's impossible to reliably test, e.g., cocaine for fentanyl, without destroying the drug and it doesn't take much of the latter narcotic to kill you.

The amount that has to be destroyed is miniscule.

my point is that powders don't mix evenly. part of a baggie testing negative for fentanyl doesn't mean the remainder is clean.

Then thoroughly mix the whole amount before taking a sample.

Given that a lethal dose of fentanyl is about two milligrams (similar to 5-7 grains of table salt in volume), that still feels pretty risky.
