PROMOTION – Urine Test for Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs)

Rapid urine drug test in the form of a cassette with a pipette for detecting traces of tricyclic antidepressant 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, and metabolism, as well as specific ingestion patterns—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: Nortriptyline (TCA)
• Detection principle: chromatographic immunoassay
• Cut-off: 100 ng/mL
• Detection window: up to 7 days of use

Rapid results

Ready for interpretation just 5 minutes after applying 3 drops of urine to the cassette’s collection well.
