【SUMMARY】
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.
【DIRECTIONS
FOR CASSETTE USE】
Allow the
test, urine specimen, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30°C) prior
to testing.
1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test
cassette from the sealed pouch and use it within one hour.
2. Place the test cassette on a clean and level surface. Hold the dropper
vertically and transfer 3 full drops of urine (approx. 120μL) to the
specimen well (S) of the test cassette, and then start the timer. Avoid
trapping air bubbles in the specimen well (S). See the illustration below.
3. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 5 minutes. Do not
interpret the result after 10minutes.
【DIRECTIONS
FOR PANEL USE】
Allow the
test, urine specimen, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30ºC) prior
to testing.
1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test panel
from the sealed pouch and use it within one hour.
2. Remove the cap.
3. 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
strip to at least the level of the wavy lines, but not above the arrow on the
test panel.
4. Replace the cap and place the test panel on a non-absorbent flat surface.
5. Start the timer and wait for the colored line(s) to appear.
6. The result should be read at 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10
minutes.
【DIRECTIONS
FOR STRIP USE】
Allow the
test, urine specimen, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30ºC) prior
to testing.
1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test Strip
from the sealed pouch and use it within one hour.
2. With arrows pointing toward the urine specimen, immerse the test Strip
vertically in the urine specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not pass the
maximum line (MAX) on the Test Strip when immersing the strip. See the
illustration below.
3. Place the test Strip on a non-absorbent flat surface, start the timer and
wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 5 minutes. Do not
interpret the result after 10 minutes.
