INTENDED USE：

Methadone Urine Test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the detection of Methadone in human urine at a cut-off concentration of 300ng/mL. This assay provides only a qualitative, preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferredconfirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professionaljudgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used.

SUMMARY：

Methadone is a narcotic pain reliever for medium to severe pain. It is also used in the treatment of Heroin (Opiate dependence: Vicodin, Percocet, Morphine, ect) addiction. Oral Methadone is very different than the IV Methadone. Oral Methadone is partially stored in the liver for later use. IV Methadone acts more like Heroin. In most states you must go to a pain clinic or a Methadone maintenance clinic to be prescribed Methadone. Methadone is a long acting pain reliever producing effects that last between twelve to forty-eight hours. Ideally, Methadone frees the client from the pressures of obtaining illegal Heroin, from the dangers of injection, and from the emotional roller coaster that most Opiates produce. Methadone if taken for long periods and at large doses can lead to a very long withdrawal period. The withdrawals from Methadone are more prolonged and troublesome than those provoked by heroin cessation, yet the substitution and phased removal of methadone is an acceptable method of detoxification for patients and therapists. Methadone Urine Test is a rapid urine-screening test that can be performed without the use of an instrument. The test utilizes a monoclonal antibody to selectively detect elevated levels of Methadone in urine. Methadone Urine Test yields a positive result when the Methadone in urine exceeds 300 ng/mL.
