SCREEN 1 METADONE One Step Drug Test Card REF: SC-0074-25 The Screen 1 Methadone Rapid Test Cassette (MTD) (Urine) is a side scrolling chromatographic immunoassay for the detection of Methadone in urine at a threshold concentration of 300ng/ml. This test will detect other related compounds, please refer to the Analytical Specificity table in this package insert. Methadone is a narcotic analgesic for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. It is also used in the treatment of heroin addiction (opiate addiction: Vicodin, Leachate, Morphine, etc…). Oral methadone is very different from methadone. Oral methadone is partially stored in the liver for later use. IV methadone acts more like heroin. Methadone is a long-acting pain reliever that produces effects lasting 12 to 48 hours. Theoretically, methadone relieves the subject of the pressures of obtaining illegal heroin, the dangers of injections, and the emotional ups and downs of most opiates. Methadone, when taken for long periods in high doses, can cause a very long period of abstinence. The symptoms of methadone withdrawal are more prolonged and more difficult than those caused by heroin withdrawal, however phased substitution and removal of methadone is a commonly accepted method for detoxification by patients and therapists. The MTD rapid test (Urine) is a rapid urine control test that can be performed without the use of any instrumentation. The test uses a monoclonal antibody to selectively detect elevated levels of methadone in the urine. The MTD rapid test (Urine) gives a positive result when the methadone in urine exceeds 300 ng/mL.
