Instructions for Drug Testing – How the test works.

If a drug is absent or the concentration of that drug is below the cut-off limit, a colored line appears in the test line region (T). If a substance is found, no line appears.

The control line (C) serves as internal quality control for the test on each panel. It will always appear as a colored band regardless of the presence of a drug.

How to interpret the result.

Negative. If the drug concentration is below the cut-off limit, the binding sites of the antibody within the test will not be affected and so a colored line will form.

Positive. If the drug concentration is at or above the cut-off limit, the drug will saturate all the binding sites of the antibody, preventing a colored line to form.

Invalid: Each test panel has a built-in control feature; This is called the control (C) line. The presence of the line indicates that an adequate sample volume of urine for testing and that the reagents migrated adequately. If a line does not form, the result is invalid. Discard the device and start the testing process with a new kit.
