PROMOTION – Urine Test for Methadone (MTD)

Rapid urine drug test in cassette format with a pipette for detecting traces of methadone use.

Drug Detection Window

Urine drug tests detect both the drugs themselves and their metabolites. The tests are immunological and are read visually. After a drug is ingested, the metabolism process varies from person to person. Individual factors such as weight, age, metabolism, and specific intake conditions—such as consumption with liquids, food, alcohol, etc.—also play a role. Therefore, the time during which a given drug can be detected in urine—the so-called detection window—is relatively broad.

Characteristics of a cassette-based urine drug test:

• Detection parameter: Methadone (MTD)
• Detection principle: chromatographic immunoassay
• Cut-off: 300 ng/mL
• Detection window: up to 5 days of use

Advantages:

• Fast results within 5 minutes after applying 3 drops of urine to the cassette’s collection well
• Visual interpretation of the result
• Easy to use, no laboratory equipment required
• High accuracy and reliability of the result
