Methamphetamine (MET) Rapid Tests
【INTENDED USE】
The MET Rapid Test Strip/Card/Device is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Methamphetamine and d-metabolites in urine at the following cut-off concentrations:
| Test | Calibrator | Cut-off(ng/mL) |
| Methamphetamine (MET 3,000) | d-Methamphetamine | 3,000 |
| Methamphetamine (MET 2,000) | d-Methamphetamine | 2,000 |
| Methamphetamine (MET 1,500) | d-Methamphetamine | 1,500 |
| Methamphetamine (MET) | d-Methamphetamine | 1,000 |
| Methamphetamine (MET 500) | d-Methamphetamine | 500 |
| Methamphetamine (MET 300) | d-Methamphetamine | 300 |
Configurations of the MET Rapid Test Strip/Card/Device come with any combination of the above listed drug analytes. 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 indicated.
【SUMMARY】
The MET Rapid Test Strip/Card/Device is a rapid urine screening test that can be performed without the use of an instrument. The test utilizes monoclonal antibodies to selectively detect elevated levels of specific drugs in urine.
Methamphetamine (MET)
Methamphetamine is an addictive stimulant drug that strongly activates certain systems in the brain. Methamphetamine is closely related chemically to Amphetamine,but the central nervous system effects of Methamphetamine are greater.Methamphetamine is made in illegal laboratories and has a high potential for abuse and dependence.The drug can be taken orally,injected,or inhaled. Acute higher doses lead to enhanced stimulation of the central nervous system and induce euphoria, alertness, reduced appetite,and a sense of increased energy and power.Cardiovascular responses to Methamphetamine include increased blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmias. More acute responses produce anxiety, paranoia, hallucinations, psychotic behavior, and eventually, depression and exhaustion.
The effects of Methamphetamine generally last 2-4 hours and the drug have a half-life of 9-24 hours in the body. Methamphetamine is excreted in the urine primarily as Amphetamine, and oxidized and deaminated derivatives.However,10-20% of Methamphetamine is excreted unchanged.Thus,the presence of the parent compound in the urine indicates Methamphetamine use. Methamphetamine is generally detectable in the urine for 3-5 days, depending on urine pH level.
The MET Rapid Test Strip/Card/Device is a rapid urine screening test that can be performed without the use of an instrument. The test utilizes a monoclonal antibody to selectively detect elevated levels of Methamphetamine in urine.The MET Rapid Test Strip/Card/Device yields a positive result when the Methamphetamine in urine exceeds 1,000ng/mL
Methamphetamine (MET 3,000)
The MET Rapid Test Strip/Card/Device yields a positive result when the concentration of Methamphetamine in urine exceeds 3,000 ng/mL.See Methamphetamine (MET1,000) for the summary.
Methamphetamine (MET 2,000)
The MET Rapid Test Strip/Card/Device yields a positive result when the concentration of Methamphetamine in urine exceeds 2,000 ng/mL.See Methamphetamine (MET1,000) for the summary.
Methamphetamine (MET1,500)
The MET Rapid Test Strip/Card/Device yields a positive result when the concentration of Methamphetamine in urine exceeds 1,500 ng/mL.See Methamphetamine (MET1,000) for the summary.
Methamphetamine (MET 500)
The MET Rapid Test Strip/Card/Device yields a positive result when the concentration of Methamphetamine in urine exceeds 500 ng/mL.See Methamphetamine (MET1,000) for the summary.
Methamphetamine (MET 300)
The MET Rapid Test Strip/Card/Device yields a positive result when the concentration of Methamphetamine in urine exceeds 300 ng/mL.See Methamphetamine (MET1,000) for the summary.
