Allow the test card, 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 card from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.
Remove the cap from the end of the test card. With arrows pointing toward the
urine specimen, immerse the strip(s) of the test card vertically in the urine
specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. 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.

Drug Screen Test Cassette. They are available to purchase
separately. Buy Urine Cups. |
2. Place the test card on a non-absorbent flat surface, start
the timer and wait for the red line(s) to appear. The results should be read
at 5 minutes. Do not interpret results after 10 minutes.
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.
