General information

The Single Panel Cocaine Test (Urine) is a rapid immunochromatographic test for the detection of Cocaine in human urine at a cut-off concentration of 300 ng/mL.

Cocaine is a potent central nervous system (CNS) stimulant and a local anesthetic. Initially, it brings about extreme energy and restlessness while gradually resulting in tremors, over-sensitivity and spasms. In large amounts, Cocaine causes fever, unresponsiveness, and difficulty in breathing and unconsciousness.

Cocaine is often self-administered by nasal inhalation, intravenous injection and free-base smoking. It is excreted in the urine in a short time primarily as Benzoylecgonine. Benzoylecgonine, a major metabolite of Cocaine, has a longer biological half-life (5-8 hours) than Cocaine (0.5-1.5 hours), and can generally be detected for 24-48 hours after Cocaine exposure.2 The COC (Cocaine) Test Panel is a rapid urine screening test that can be performed without the use of an instrument.

The test utilizes a monoclonal antibody to selectively detect elevated levels of Cocaine metabolite in urine. The COC Rapid Test Panel yields a positive result when the Cocaine metabolite in urine exceeds 300ng/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.
