Intended Use and Summary

Screening test for the simultaneous determination of several drugs.
The speed and sensitivity of immunological tests have led them to be considered the most accepted as urine screening tests for the simultaneous detection of drugs of abuse.
The Single Step Test Strip Brush (Urine) is a lateral flow immunochromatographic rapid test for the qualitative determination of the following drugs without the aid of tools:

This test provides preliminary analytical data only.
More specific chemical methods should be used as confirmation of the analytical result.
Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC / MS) are considered to be preferred confirmatory methods.
Any drug of abuse determination result must have correlated with clinical considerations and professional judgment, particularly when the preliminary result is positive.
It is a rapid urine screening test that does not require the use of special tools.
The test uses antibodies to selectively detect high levels of specific substances in human urine.

The residence times are approximate for each substance as they vary according to the frequency of use, body mass, age, state of health, tolerance to drugs and the pH of the urine.
The product detects the presence of narcotic substances in the urine only after their metabolization.

COCAINE (COC)
Cocaine is a powerful central nervous system stimulant as well as a local anesthetic derived from the coca plant.
The substance is often self-administered by inhalation or intravenous injection or by smoking the base substance.

AMPHETAMINE (AMP)
Amphetamine is a substance also used for therapeutic purposes.
The substance is often self-administered by inhalation or ingestion.
High doses produce enhanced central nervous system stimulation and induce euphoria, alertness, decreased appetite, a sense of increased energy and strength.
More acute reactions produce anxiety, paranoia, hallucinations and psychotic behavior.

METHYLDIOXYMETHAMPHETAMINE (MDMA)
Ecstasy is not a stimulant, although it has the ability to increase blood pressure and heart rate in common with amphetamines.
It produces some perception changes such as increased sensitivity to light, difficulty focusing, blurred vision.
The effect that occurs practically in all those who take this substance is to make the jaw clench.

MARIJUANA (THC)
Tetrahydrocannabinol is the active ingredient in cannabis.
When smoked or taken orally, THC produces euphoria.
Regular users have short-term memory impairment and learning delay, they may also have transient episodes of confusion and anxiety.
Relatively heavy long-term consumption may be associated with behavioral disturbances.

OPIASES (OPI)
The class of opiates refers to any substance derived from the opium poppy, including natural compounds such as morphine, codeine and semi-synthetic substances such as heroin.
Opiates act on pain control by depressing the central nervous system.
Withdrawal symptoms can include sweating, tremors, nausea, and irritability.
Opiates can be taken orally or by intravenous, intramuscular and subcutaneous injection.
Consumers can also take the substance intravenously or by inhalation.

BENZODIAZEPINE (BZO)
They are frequently prescribed drugs for the symptomatic treatment of anxiety, sleep disturbances, seizures and alcohol withdrawal syndrome.
Stopping abruptly can induce symptoms such as sleep disturbances, gastrointestinal disturbances, loss of appetite, sweating, tremor, weakness, anxiety, and changes in perception.

KETAMINA (KET)
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic for human and veterinary use.
It is marketed in Italy under the names of Ketalar, Ketanest and Ketaset and in the human context it is classified as Drug "H" and should only be used in a hospital setting by an anesthetist-resuscitator.
Like all neuro and psycholeptic drugs, it can be abused and used as a luxury drug, prohibited and sanctioned by the law, as a narcotic substance.

MARIJUANA SYNTHETIC K2 / SPICE (K2 / SPICE)
Synthetic Marijuana or K2 is a psychoactive herb and chemical that mimics the effects of Marijuana when consumed.
Mostly known by the trade names of K2 and Spice, both of which are widely used to refer to any synthetic Marijuana product.

Principle

The One Step Test Strip Panel (Urine) is an immunochromatographic rapid test based on the principle of competitive binding.
Drugs that may be present in the urine specimen compete with their conjugate for the same binding sites as the antibody.
During the test, a urine sample migrates by capillarity along the membrane.
A drug, if present in the urine sample, at a concentration below its cut-off, will not be able to saturate all the binding sites of the particles bound to the relative antibodies present in the strip.
The particles bound to the antibodies will be captured by the immobilized conjugate and a visible colored band will appear in the test band area of the relevant strip.
The colored band will not form in the relevant area if the drug level is above its cut-off, as all related antibody binding sites will be saturated.
A urine specimen positive for the test drug will not cause the colored band to form due to drug competition, while a urine specimen negative for the test drug or a specimen containing a drug concentration below the cut-off will cause the formation of the colored band in the specific test area.
As a control of the procedure, a colored band will appear in the relevant area, indicating that a correct amount of sample has been used and that the migration on the membrane has taken place.

Reagents

Each strip of the panel contains mouse monoclonal antibodies bound to the particles and to the corresponding one.
The One Step Test Strip Panel (Urine) is a conjugated lateral flow immunochromatographic rapid test for each drug.
Goat antibodies are used for the control band.

Sample collection and preparation

Collect the urine sample in a clean, dry container.
Urine samples collected at any time of the day can be used.
Urine specimens with evident precipitate should be centrifuged, filtered, or allowed to settle in order to obtain a clear specimen for testing.
Urine samples can be stored at a temperature of 2-8 ° C for a maximum of 48 hours.
For extended storage, samples can be frozen and stored below -20 ° C.
Before using frozen samples, they must be thawed and homogenized thoroughly.

Procedure of use

1. Before opening the package, bring it to room temperature. Take the product out of the package and use it as soon as possible.
2. Remove the cap from the strips. Immerse the product vertically, in the direction of the arrows, in the urine sample for at least 10/15 seconds. Dip the product up to the level of the wavy lines on the strips but not above them.
3. Put the cap back on the device and lay the product horizontally on a flat non-absorbent surface. Read the result after 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.

Interpretation of results

Negative *: One colored band appears in the control region (C) and a second one in the test region (T) for each drug indicating a negative result.
This negative result indicates that the concentration of the target drug in urine is below the detectable cut-off level for that specific drug.
* the color tone in the reactive zone (T) can vary, but it must be considered negative whenever a faint colored band appears.
Positive: A colored band appears in the control region (C) but not in the test region (T) for each drug indicating a positive result.
This positive result indicates that the concentration of the target drug in urine is above the detectable cut-off level for that specific drug.
Invalid: the control band (C) does not appear.
The most plausible causes for the missing control line may be insufficient sample volume or incorrect analytical procedure.
Check the procedure again and repeat the test using a new panel.
If the problem persists stop using the kit immediately and contact your local distributor.
If the test is positive, avoid aggressive behavior and calmly seek a dialogue with the person concerned.
Get advice from your doctor, a psychologist or contact the competent service for your area.

Quality control

The test includes an internal control system consisting of the red band appearing in the control region (C).
The appearance of this band confirms that the test was performed correctly with sufficient sample volume, that the membrane absorption was adequate and the procedure was correct.
Standard controls are not supplied with the kit; however it is recommended to test positive and negative controls, as a good laboratory practice, to confirm the test procedure and verify correct characteristics.

Limits

1. The One Step Test Strip Panel (Urine) provides a qualitative preliminary analytical result only. A second analytical method is needed. Preferred confirmatory methods are gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC / MS) are the recommended confirmatory methods if the test is positive.
2. It is possible that technical or procedural errors, as well as interfering substances in the urine sample, could cause erroneous results.
3. It is possible that adulterants such as bleach and / or alum present in the urine sample may cause erroneous results regardless of the analytical method used. If such substances are suspected, the test should be repeated with another urine sample.
4. A positive result indicates the presence of the drug or its metabolites but not the level of intoxication, the route of administration or the concentration in urine.
5. A negative result does not necessarily mean that the urine sample is drug-free. A negative result can be obtained when the drug is present but below the cut-off level of the test.
6. The test cannot distinguish between a drug and a drug containing the same substance. False positives may be caused by some drugs.
