Professional AMP Rapid Test Dipcard (Urine), Visual Immunoassay, CE & ISO Certified IVD Use

Amphetamine are central nervous system depressants. They are used therapeutically as sedatives, hypnotics, and anticonvulsants. Amphetamine are almost always taken orally as capsules or tablets. The effects resemble those of intoxication with alcohol. Chronic use of Amphetamine leads to tolerance and physical dependence. Short acting Amphetamine taken at 400 mg/day for 2-3 months produce a

clinically significant degree of physical dependence. Withdrawal symptoms experienced during periods of drug abstinence can be severe enough to cause death. Only a small amount (less than 5%) of most Amphetamine are excreted unaltered in the urine. The detection period for the Amphetamine in the urine is 4-7 days.

The Amphetamine Rapid Test Dipcard (Urine) detects Amphetamine through visual interpretation of color development on the Dipcard. Drug conjugates are immobilized on the test region of the membrane.

During testing, the specimen reacts with antibodies conjugated to colored particles and precoated on the sample pad. The mixture then migrates through the membrane by capillary action, and interacts with

reagents on the membrane. If there are insufficient drug molecules in the specimen, the antibody-colored particle conjugate will bind to the drug conjugates, forming a colored band at the test region of the

membrane. Therefore, a colored band appears in the test region when the urine is negative for the drug.If drug molecules are present in the urine above the cut-off concentration of the test, they compete with

the immobilized drug conjugate on the test region for limited antibody binding sites. This will prevent attachment of the antibody-colored particle conjugate to the test region. Therefore, the absence of a

colored band at the test region indicates a positive result. The appearance of a colored band at the control region serves as a procedural control, indicating that the proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
