【SUMMARY】
Methaqualone (Quaalude, Sopor) is a quinazoline derivative that was first synthesized in 1951 and found clinically effective as a sedative and hypnotic in 1956. It soon gained popularity as a drug of abuse and in 1984 was removed from the US market due to extensive misuse. It is occasionally encountered in illicit form, and is also available in Europeon countries in combination with diphenhydramine (Mandrax). Methaqualone is extensively metabolized in vivo principally by hydroxylation at every possible position on the molecule. At least 12 metabolites have been identified in the urine.
【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
(15-30°C) prior to testing.
1. Remove the test panle 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 do not touch the
plastic device.
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
(15-30°C) 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.
