Product description The YERCON Drug Adulteration Test Strips are a semi-quantitative color comparison screening tool for detection of creatinine, nitrite, glutaraldehyde, pH, specific gravity, oxidants and pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) in human urine. These strips provide a preliminary adulteration screen; confirmatory laboratory analysis using a specific chemical or instrumental method is required for definitive results. Abnormal or suspicious results should be referred for confirmation.
Category Reagent Strips for Urinalysis
Parameters on Adulteration Test Strips (SVT) - Creatinine – Waste product of creatine; used to detect dilution or flushing. Low creatinine (<5 mg/dl) suggests a non-human or highly diluted specimen.
- Specific Gravity – Assesses sample concentration; values outside the normal range of 1.003–1.030 may indicate dilution or adulteration.
- Nitrite – Detects nitrite-based adulterants (commercial products) that can oxidize drug metabolites; normal urine should contain no nitrite.
- Glutaraldehyde – Identifies glutaraldehyde-based adulterants that can interfere with immunoassay enzymes; not normally present in urine.
- pH – Normal urinary pH is typically 4.0–9.0; values outside this range may indicate tampering.
- Oxidants/PCC – Detects oxidizing agents (bleach, hydrogen peroxide) and pyridinium chlorochromate used to produce false negatives; normal urine should not contain oxidants or PCC.
Technical specifications - Detection targets: Creatinine, Specific Gravity, Nitrite, Glutaraldehyde, pH, Oxidants, Pyridinium Chlorochromate (PCC).
- Test type: Semi-quantitative color comparison strip.
- Sample type: Human urine (screening use).
- Intended use: Preliminary adulteration screening; abnormal or suspicious results require laboratory confirmation by a specific analytical method.
- Category: Reagent Strips for Urinalysis.
- Brand: YERCON.
- Notes: Low creatinine (<5 mg/dl) or out-of-range specific gravity indicates possible dilution. Normal human urine should not contain nitrite, glutaraldehyde, oxidants or PCC.
