One Step Methadone(MTD) Drugtest Urine Test Kits

 The MTD One Step  Methadone  Test Strip is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the detection of  Methadone in urine at a cut-off concentration of 300 ng/mL. This test will detect other opiates. Please refer to analytical specificity table in this package insert.

This assay provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used.

METHADONE (MTD)

Methadone is a narcotic pain reliever for medium to severe pain. It is also used in the treatment of heroin (opiate dependence: Vicodin, Percocet, Morphine, etc.) addiction. Oral Methadone is very different than IV Methadone. Oral Methadone is partially stored in the liver for later use. IV Methadone acts more like heroin. In most states you must go to a pain clinic or a Methadone maintenance clinic to be prescribed Methadone.

Methadone is a long acting pain reliever producing effects that last from twelve to forty-eight hours. Ideally, Methadone frees the client from the pressures of obtaining illegal heroin, from the dangers of injection, and from the emotional roller coaster that most opiates produce. Methadone, if taken for long periods and at large doses, can lead to a very long withdrawal period. The withdrawals from Methadone are more prolonged and troublesome than those provoked by heroin cessation, yet the substitution and phased removal of methadone is an acceptable method of detoxification for patients and therapists.¹

The MTD One Step Methadone Test Strip yields a positive result when the Methadone in urine exceeds 300 ng/mL

Features:

1. Fast to test and easy to read
2. Read results within 5 minutes
3. High sensitivity and high quality

Specification

How to use the One Step Urine (Multi) Drug (Screen) Test (kit)?

[For Strip]

Remove the test strip from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.

1. Immerse the strip vertically into the urine specimen with the arrow end pointing towards the urine. Do not immerse the strip past the Max Line. See the illustration below.
2. Remove the strip after 10 seconds and lay the strip flat on a clean, dry, non-absorbent surface, and then begin timing.
3. Wait for colored lines to appear. Interpret the test results at 3-5 minutes. Do not read results after 10 minutes

[For Cassette]

1. Remove the test cassette from the sealed pouch.
2. Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 3 full drops (approx. 100ml) of urine to the specimen well of the test cassette, and then begin timing. See the illustration below.
3. Wait for colored lines to appear. Interpret the test results at 3-5 minutes. Do not read results after 10 minutes.

For Dipcard]

• Remove the test card from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.
• Remove the cap from the end of the test card. Immerse the strip(s) of the test card vertically in the urine specimen with arrows pointing toward the urine specimen. Immerse the test card to at least the level of the wavy lines on the strip(s), but not above the arrow(s) on the test card. See the illustration below.
• Remove the test card after 10 seconds and lay the card flat on a non-absorbent surface, and then begin timing.
• Wait for colored lines to appear. Interpret the test results at 3-5 minutes. Do not read results after 10 mins

For Multi-Drug Screen Test Cup]

1. Remove the test cup from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.
2. Donor provides specimen and secures the cap by pressing down on all three corners.
3. On a flat surface, technician pushes key to a fully closed position.
4. Peel off the label on the multi-drug test card to view results. The test is read in the reaction well.
5. Start the timer and wait for colored lines to appear. Interpret the test results at 3-5 minutes. Results remain stable for up to sixty minutes. See the illustration below. For detailed operation instructions, please refer to the Procedure Card

Results Interpretation: Negative or Positive Indication

Negative:Two lines appear. One red line should be in the control region (C), and another apparent red or pink line adjacent should be in the test region (T). This negative result indicates that the drug concentration is below the detectable level. (*Note: The shade of red in the test line region (T) will vary, but it should be considered negative whenever there is even a faint pink line.)

Positive:One red line appears in the control region (C). No line appears in the test region (T). This positive result indicates that the drug concentration is above the detectable level.

Invalid:Control line fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test using a new test panel. If the problem persists, discontinue using the lot immediately and contact your local distributor
