General information

The Single Panel Barbiturates Rapid Test (Urine) is a rapid lateral scroll immunochromatographic test for the detection of Barbiturates in human urine at the threshold-limit concentration of 300 ng / ml. This test also detects other compounds, please refer to the Analytical Specificity table in this package insert.

Barbiturates are central nervous system depressants. They are used for therapeutic purposes as sedatives, hypnotics and anticonvulsants. Barbiturates are almost always taken orally in the form of tablets or pills. The effects are similar to those of alcohol intoxication. Chronic use of barbiturates leads to tolerance and physical dependence.

Short-acting barbiturates taken in amounts of 400 mg / day for 2-3 months produce a clinically significant degree of physical dependence. Withdrawal symptoms experienced during periods of substance deprivation can be severe and can even lead to death. Only a small amount (less than 5%) of most barbiturates is eliminated unchanged in the urine. The detection period of barbiturates in urine is 4-7 days. The BAR Rapid Test (Urine) is a rapid urine control test that can be performed without the use of additional instruments.

The test uses a monoclonal antibody to selectively detect high levels of barbiturates in urine. The BAR Rapid Test (Urine) provides a positive result when the Barbiturates in the urine exceed the threshold-limit level.

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.
