Detailed Description
Tramadol A rapid, one step screening test for the simultaneous, qualitative detection of multiple Tramadol and metabolites in human urine. For forensic use only.
Urine based tests for multiple drugs of abuse range from simple immunoassay tests to complex analytical procedures. The speed and sensitivity of immunoassays have made them the most widely accepted method to screen urine for multiple drugs of abuse.
The One Step Tramadol (TRA) Test Dipcard is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of multiple drugs and drug metabolites in urine at the following cut-off concentrations in urine:
Test | Calibrator | Cut-off (ng/mL) |
Tramadol (TRA) | Tramadol | 100/200 |
Directions For Use
Allow the test device, and urine specimen to come to room temperature [15-30°C (59-86°F)] prior to testing.
1) Remove the test device from the foil pouch.
2) Remove the cap from the test device. Label the device with patient or control identifications.
3) Immerse the absorbent tip into the urine sample for 10-15 seconds. Urine sample should not touch the plastic device.
4) Replace the cap over the absorbent tip and lay the device flatly on a non-absorptive clean surface.
5) Read results at 5 minutes.
DO NOT INTERPRET RESULT AFTER 5 MINUTES.
Limitations
1. The One Step Tramadol (TRA) Test Dipcard provides only a qualitative, preliminary analytical result. A secondary analytical method must be used to obtain a confirmed result. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method.
2. There is a possibility that technical or procedural errors, as well as other interfering substances in the urine specimen may cause erroneous results.
3. Adulterants, such as bleach and/or alum, in urine specimens may produce erroneous results regardless of the analytical method used. If adulteration is suspected, the test should be repeated with another urine specimen.
4. A positive result does not indicate level or intoxication, administration route or concentration in urine.
5. A negative result may not necessarily indicate drug-free urine. Negative results can be obtained when drug is present but below the cut-off level of the test.
6. The test does not distinguish between drugs of abuse and certain medications.
7. A positive result might be obtained from certain foods or food supplements.
