Lysergic Acid Diethylamide Rapid Drug Abuse Test Kit Chromatographic Immunoassay In Whole Blood /Serum/Plasma

A rapid test for the qualitative detection of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide in human Whole Blood /Serum/Plasma CE certified

Applications: 

The LSD Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood /Serum/Plasma) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the detection of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide in human urine at a cut-off concentration of 10 ng/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: 

Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is a white powder or a clear, colorless liquid. LSD is manufactured from lysergic acid which occurs naturally in the ergot fungus that grows on wheat and rye. It is a Schedule I controlled substance, available in liquid, powder, tablet (microdots), and capsule form. LSD is recreationally used as a hallucinogen for its ability to alter human perception and mood. LSD is primarily used by oral administration, but can be inhaled, injected, and transdermally applied. LSD is a non-selective 5-HT agonist, may exert its hallucinogenic effect by interacting with 5-HT 2Areceptors as a partial agonist and modulating the NMDA receptor-mediated sensory, perceptual, affective and cognitive processes. LSD mimics 5-HT at 5-HT 1A receptors, producing a marked slowing of the firing rate of serotonergic neurons. LSD has a plasma half-life of 2.5-4 hours. Metabolites of LSD include N-desmethyl-LSD, hydroxy-LSD, 2-oxo-LSD, and 2-oxo-3-hydroxy-LSD .These metabolites are all inactive. LSD use can typically be detected in urine for periods of 2-5 days.

The LSD 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 Lysergic Acid Diethylamide in urine. The LSD Rapid Test Cassette (Urine) yields a positive result when Lysergic Acid Diethylamide in urine exceeds 10 ng/mL.

How to use? 

1. Allow the test, specimen, buffer and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.
   For serum or plasma specimen:
   1. Bring the pouch to room temperature (15-30℃) before opening it. Remove the cassette from the sealed pouch and use it within one hour.
   2. Place the cassette on a clean and level surface. Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 1 full drop of serum or plasma (approximately 40μl), then add 2 drops of buffer (approximately 80μl) to the specimen well of the cassette, and then start the timer. Avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen well. See illustration below.
   3. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read the result at 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.
    

   

    
   For whole blood specimen:
   4. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test cassette from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.
   5. Place the cassette on a clean and level surface.
   For Venipuncture Whole Bloodspecimen:
    Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 1 drop of whole blood(approximately 40μl) to the specimen well, then add 2 drops of buffer (approximately 80μl), and start the timer. See illustration below.
   For Fingerstick Whole Blood specimen:
    To use a capillary tube: Fill the capillary tube and transfer approximately 40μl of fingerstick whole blood specimen to the specimen area of test cassette, then add2 drops of buffer(approximately 80μl) and start the timer. See illustration below.
   6. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.
    
    
   

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

(Please refer to the illustration above)

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 Lysergic Acid Diethylamide concentration is below the detectable level (10 ng/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 Lysergic Acid Diethylamide concentration exceeds the detectable level (10 ng/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.
