CUP Saliva 10-S

Product information

The Drug Rapid Test CUP Saliva 10 detects 10 substances with specific result for each substance analyzed. This test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of multiple drugs and drug metabolites in saliva. This Saliva drug test detects: AMP50, MET50, COC20 MOP40, THC12, MDMA50, K2-25, MTD30, KET50, ALC0.02%.

Advantages of Saliva test

• Easy to collect use, user friendly test
• No large sample needed
• Short detection window, suitable for workflow, traffic control and rehabilitation centers for acute testing procedures
• Drug test procedure in simple and comfortable steps due to collection cup format
• Saliva sample is not easy to manipulate

General information

The Multi-Drug Rapid Test Cup for AMP50, MET50, COC20 MOP40, THC12, MDMA50, K2-25, MTD30, KET50, ALC0.02%,  is an immunoassay based on the principle of competitive binding. Drugs that may be present in the oral fluid specimen compete against their respective drug conjugate for binding sites on their specific antibody. During testing, a portion of the oral fluid specimen migrates upward by capillary action.

A drug, if present in the oral fluid specimen below its cut-off concentration, will not saturate the binding sites of its specific antibody. The antibody will then react with the drug-protein conjugate and a visible colored line will show up in the test line region of the specific drug strip. The presence of drug above the cut-off concentration in the oral fluid specimen will saturate all the binding sites of the antibody. Therefore, the colored line will not form in the test line region.

A drug-positive oral fluid specimen will not generate a colored line in the specific test line region of the strip because of drug competition, while a drug-negative oral fluid specimen will generate a line in the test line region because of the absence of drug competition.
To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear at the control line region, indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.

A rapid test for the simultaneous, qualitative detection of multiple drugs and drug metabolites in human saliva. For healthcare professionals including professionals at point of care sites. Immunoassay for in vitro diagnostic use only.

Test procedure

1. Allow the test Cup, specimen, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing. Instruct the donor to not place anything in the mouth including food, drink, gum or tobacco products for at least 10 minutes prior to collection.
2. Remove the collector from the sealed pouch and collect oral fluid specimen as follows:
   Important: Place the tongue against the upper and lower jaws and roots to enrich the oral fluid before oral fluid collection. Insert the sponge end into the mouth, actively swab around the gums on both sides of the mouth and under the tongue and chew the sponge tenderly, place the sponge end under the tongue for a total of 2-3 minutes until the sponge becomes fully saturated. Gently pressing the sponge between the tongue and teeth will assist saturation. No hard spots should be felt on the sponge when saturated.
3. Remove the collector from the mouth. Place saturated oral fluid collector into test cup and screw the collector to press sponge fully to release oral fluid. Place the test cup on a clean and level surface. Remove the peel off label, wait for the flow to appear in test windows and start a timer. If the sample does not migrate in the test cup even after 3 minutes, please rotate the cup 4-5 times.
4. Read the test results at 3-10 minutes. If all lines are clearly visible at 3 minutes or sooner, then the test can be interpreted as negative and discarded. If any lines are not visible at 3 minutes, then the test should be re-read at 10 minutes.
5. For Alcohol strip, when applicable, the results should be read at 2 minutes. Compare the color of the reaction pad with the chart provided separately/on foil pouch to determine the relative oral fluid alcohol level.

Interpretation of the results

NEGATIVE: A colored line appears in the Control region (C) and colored line appear in the Test region (T). This negative result means that the concentration in the oral fluid sample are below the designated cut-off levels for a particular drug tested.

*NOTE: The shade of the colored lines(s) in the Test region (T) may vary. The result should be considered negative whenever there is even a faint line.

POSITIVE: A colored line appears in the Control region (C) and NO line appears in the Test region (T). The positive result means that the drug concentration in the oral fluid sample is greater than the designated cut-off for a specific drug.

INVALID: No line appears in the Control region (C). Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for Control line failure. Read the directions again and repeat the test with a new test. If the result is still invalid, contact your supplier.
