General information

The Single Panel Tramadol rapid test (TML) (Urine) is a rapid immunochromatographic test for the qualitative detection of Tramadol in human urine at a concentration of 100 ng / mL. It is a clinical exam intended for use by health professionals, including those in outpatient clinics. This test will identify other related compounds, please refer to the Analytical Specificity table in this package insert. Tramadol (TML) is a quasi-narcotic analgesic used in the treatment of moderate to severe pain. It is a synthetic analogue of codeine, but has a low binding affinity for μ-opioid receptors. High doses of Tramadol can induce tolerance and psychological dependence and lead to abuse. Tramadol is extensively metabolized after oral intake.

About 30% of the dose is excreted in the urine as an unchanged drug, while 60% of the dose is excreted as metabolites. The main routes appear to be N- and O-demethylation, glucuronidation or sulfation in the liver. The TML (Urine) rapid panel test is a rapid urine control test that can be performed without the use of instrumentation. The test uses a monoclonal antibody to selectively detect high levels of Tramadol in urine. The TML (Urine) rapid panel test provides a positive result when Tramadol in urine exceeds 100 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.
