General information

The Single Panel Amphetamine Test (Urine) is a rapid immunochromatographic test for the detection of Amphetamine in human urine at a cut-off concentration of 1,000 ng/mL. This test will also identify other related compounds, please refer to the Analytical Specificity table in this package insert. Amphetamine is a Schedule II substance of the American DEA sold by prescription (Dexedrina®) and also available illegally on the market.

Amphetamines are a class of potent sympathomimetic agents with therapeutic functions. They are chemically linked to two catecholamines naturally produced by the human body: epinephrine and norepinephrine. High acute doses induce central nervous system stimulation and cause euphoria, alertness, reduced appetite and a sense of increased energy and power. Cardiovascular reactions to Amphetamine include increased blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmias.

More acute reactions cause anxiety, paranoia, hallucinations and psychotic behavior. The effects of amphetamines generally last 2-4 hours after use and the drug has a half-life of 4-24 hours in the human body. About 30% of amphetamines are eliminated in the urine in unchanged form, with a residue in the form of hydroxylated and deaminated derivatives.

The AMP rapid test (Urine) gives a positive result when the Amphetamine in the urine exceeds 1,000 ng/mL.

Test procedure

Interpret results within minutes for simultaneous specimen collection and screening.

1. Allow the test, urine specimen, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30ºC) prior to testing.
2. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test panel from the sealed pouch and use it within one hour.
3. Remove the cap.
4. With the arrow pointing toward the urine specimen, immerse the test panel vertically in the urine specimen for at least 10 to 15 seconds. Immerse the dipstick to at least the level of the wavy lines, but not above the arrow on the test panel.
5. Replace the cap and place the test panel on a non-absorbent flat surface.
6. Start the timer and wait for the colored line(s) to appear.
7. The drug strip result should be read at 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.

Interpretation of the results

Negative result:* A colored line appears in the Control region (C) and colored lines appear in the Test region (T). This negative result means that the concentrations in the urine 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 result: 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 urine sample is greater than the designated cut-off for a specific drug.

Invalid result: 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 card. If the result is still invalid, contact us.
