Test Up To 14 Drugs With a Urine Dip Card
The Urine Dip Card Test is a reliable, multi-panel, and non-invasive method for detecting a wide range of substances, making it especially valuable in workplace safety programs and healthcare settings. This blog will explain what the Urine Card or Urine Dipstick Test can detect and highlight three key reasons why we love it.
What is the Urine Dip Card Test?
The Urine Dip Card Test is a diagnostic tool that uses a small urine sample to detect Drugs of Abuse. Embedded with several strips in a handheld device, the test is capable of identifying a wide range of substances in one go, such as Amphetamines, Benzodiazepines, Buprenorphine, Cocaine, Ketamine, Methadone, Methamphetamines, K2/Spice (dangerous in vapes, as written about by AttoLife here), THC or Cannabis, Morphine, Fentanyl and 6-MAM, a Heroin-specific metabolite.
Once the urine sample is applied to the device, Urine Dip Test Results are provided in minutes, making it an essential test for maintaining safety and compliance.
What Does a Urine Dip Test For?
The Urine Dip Test is incredibly versatile and can detect a wide range of drug groups, making it suitable for various applications in both workplaces (drug-sobriety) and healthcare settings, where it’s important to avoid drug-medicine interactions.
Here’s an Overview of the Key Substances That Can Be Tested For:
Drugs of Abuse (MOCCAB): The Urine Dip Test is particularly effective at detecting the most common drugs of concern in workplaces and healthcare settings. These include Marijuana, Opiates, Cocaine, Cannabis, Amphetamines, and Benzodiazepines (MOCCAB). This makes it an essential tool for industries where safety is paramount, such as aviation, construction, and logistics, as well as in drug rehabilitation centres.
Medications: In healthcare settings, the Urine Dip Test can be used to check for Methadone. It’s important that patients in clinics don’t mix illicit drugs with prescription drugs as this can lead to overdoses.
Three Reasons Why We Love the Urine Dip Card Test
1. Multi-Panel Testing in One Device
One of the standout features of the Urine Dip Card Test is its ability to test for multiple substances at once. With several strips embedded in one handheld device, the test provides a comprehensive analysis with just a single urine sample. This multi-panel capability makes it particularly efficient and useful in settings where testing for multiple substances is critical.
2. Quick and Easy to Use
The Urine Dipstick Test is designed for quick and straightforward use. Pop it in the urine sample and the results are available within minutes, providing timely insights.
3. Reliable and Cost-Effective
The Urine Dip Card Test is known for its high accuracy and reliability, which are critical when testing for substances. Additionally, its cost-effectiveness makes it an appealing option for large-scale testing in workplaces or ongoing monitoring in a healthcare setting. If a non-negative is recorded, we offer laboratory confirmation testing to provide additional information and support decision making.
