Professional Alpha PVP Drug Abuse Test Kit Chromatographic Immunoassay

Professional Drug Abuse Test Kit α-PVP Rapid Test Cassette/Dipstick/Panel Cassette in Urine , CE certified.

Applications:

The α-PVP Rapid Test Cassette (Urine) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the detection of alpha-Pyrrolidinovalerophe/none (α-PVP) in human urine at a cut-off concentration of 1000ng/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) or Liquid Chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) are the preferred confirmatory methods. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used.

Description:

alpha-Pyrrolidino/valerophenone (also known as α-PVP, A-PVP, alpha-PVP, and Flakka) is a synthetic stimulant substance of the cathin/one and pyrrolidine chemical classes.1 It produces medium-lived cathin/one-like stimulation and disinhibition with a pronounced euphoric "rush" component when administered.

α-PVP is chemically similar to other pyrrolidine compounds such as MD/PV and to other cathin/one compounds found in the khat shrub of eastern Africa. It generally comes in the form of either a crystalline powder or crystallized shards which users can ingest to produce powerful but short-lived euphoric stimulant effects which are comparable to those of metha/mphetamine and coc/aine when insufflated or vaporized.

The α-PVP Rapid Test Cassette (Urine) 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 alpha-Pyrrolidinoval/erophenone in urine. The α-PVP Rapid Test Cassette (Urine) yields a positive result when alpha-Pyrrolidin/ovalerophenone in urine exceeds 1000ng/mL.

How to 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 DIPSTICK 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 dipstick from the sealed pouch and use it within one hour.
2. With arrows pointing toward the urine specimen, immerse the test dipstick vertically in the urine specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not pass the maximum line (MAX) on the Test Dipstick when immersing the strip. See the illustration below.
3. Place the test dipstick 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.

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

NEGATIVE:* Two distinct colored lines appear. One colored line should be in the control line region (C), and another apparent colored line should be in the test line region (T). This negative result indicates that the alpha-Pyrrolidinovalerophenone concentrations are below the detectable level (1000ng/mL).

*NOTE: The shade of color in the test line region (T) will vary, but it should be considered negative whenever there is even a faint colored line.

POSITIVE: One colored line appears in the control region (C). No line appears in the test line region (T). This positive result indicates that the alpha-Pyrrolidinovaler/ophenone concentration exceeds the detectable level (1000ng/mL).

INVALID: Control line (C) fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test using a new test. If the problem persists, discontinue using the lot immediately and contact your local distributor.
