Mtd Methadone Test Cassette

Drug Of Abuse Rapid Test kits are lateral flow, one-step, qualitative, competitive inhibition immunoassays. The tests are based on the principle of the highly specific immunochemical reactions of antigens and antibodies. The test systems employ unique monoclonal antibodies to selectively identify specific drug of abuse and the corresponding metabolites has been developed at the concentration standard set by NIDA (the National Institute on Drug Abuse) for the qualitative detection of corresponding drug in human urine specimens.

The MTD One Step Methadone Test Cassette 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.

1.Application

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

2. Specification:

· Specimen: Urine

· Cut-off:300ng/ml or 200ng/ml

· Formats:Cassette

· Usage: home-testing, self-testing, professional-testing

· Inner Packing: 1 test/pouch with desiccant, cassette with dropper

· Certificate: CE, ISO & FDA

· Accurate Results in 5 Minutes

3. Usage:
   Allow test device, urine specimen, and/or controls to equilibrate to room temperature (15-30°C)

prior to testing.

1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test device from the sealed pouch and use it as soon ad possible

2. With arrows pointing toward the urine specimen, immerse the test strip vertically in the urine pecimen for at least 10-15

 seconds.Do not pass the maximum line (MAX) on the test strip when mmersing it. See the illustration below

3.Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. The result should be read at 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.

4. Results

NEGATIVE:Two lines appear. One colored line should be in the control region (C),and another colored line should 
be in the test region (T).This negative result indicates that cotinine concentration is below the detectable level
(200 ng/mL).

NOTE: The shade of the color in the test region (T) may vary,but it should be considered negative whenever 
there is even a faint line.

POSITIVE: One colored line appears in the control region (C). No line appears in the test region.This 
positive result indicates that the cotinine concentration is above the detectable level (200 ng/mL).

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 device.
