Drug abuse remains a growing social and economical concern in many developed and developing countries throughout the world. In our standard drug screen marijuana, ecstasy (MDMA), cocaine (including crack), opiates (including heroin), methamphetamine, and phencyclidine (PCP or angel dust) are included. These drugs were identified as "illegal drugs" in the Presidents Executive Order 12564 and are the five drugs mandated for testing by the federal government. They are also among the most frequently abused illicit drugs, according to the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Opiates are among a class of heavily abused prescription drugs.

The Multi-drug InstaStrip Test is an easy, fast, qualitative, visually read competitive binding immunoassay method for screening without the need of instrumentation. The method employs unique mixture of antibodies to selectively identify the drugs of abuse and their metabolites in the test samples with a high degree of sensitivity.

It can detect the principal metabolites in urine at the specified cut-off concentrations below:

THC (MARIJUANA) - 50 ng/ml

COCAINE/BENZOYLECGONINE - 300 ng/ml

OPIATES/MORPHINE - 300 ng/ml

METHAMPHETAMINE - 500 ng/ml

AMPHETAMINE - 1000 ng/ml

The sensitivity is equal to or greater than the cut-off level for the specific drug, which is suggested by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).

Each urine drug test is packaged individually in a sterile and pouch bag.
