Intended Use

Buprenorphine Rapid Test (Urine/ Saliva/ Whole blood/ serum/ plasma) is a rapid visual immunoassay for the qualitative, presumptive detection of Buprenorphine in human (Urine/ Saliva/ Whole blood/ serum/ plasma) specimens at the cut-off concentrations. Buprenorphine Rapid Test is for professional use only.

About Buprenorphine

Buprenorphine is a potent analgesic often used in the treatment of opioid addiction. The drug is sold under the trade names SubutexTM, BuprenexTM, TemgesicTM and SuboxoneTM, which contain Buprenorphine HCl alone or in combination with Naloxone HCl. Therapeutically, Buprenorphine is used as a substitution treatment for opioid addicts. Substitution treatment is a form of medical care offered to opiate addicts(primarily heroin addicts)based on a similar or identical substance to the drug normally used. In substitution therapy, Buprenorphine is as effective as Methadone but demonstrates a lower level of physical dependence. Concentrations of free Buprenorphine and Norbuprenorphine in urine may be less than 1 ng/ ml after therapeutic administration, but can range up to 20 ng/ ml in abuse situations. The plasma half-life of Buprenorphine is 2-4 hours. While complete elimination of a single-dose of the drug can take as long as 6 days, the detection window for the parent drug in urine is thought to be approximately 3 days.

Test Procedure

The BUP Rapid Test Strip (Urine)

1. Remove the test from its sealed pouch, for best results, the assay should be performed within one hour. Canisters should be closed tightly after removing strips.

2. Hold the strip by the end, where the product name is printed. To avoid contamination, do not touch the strip membrane.

3. Holding the strip vertically, dip the test strip in the urine specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not immerse past the maximum line (MAX) on the test strip.

4. After the test has finished running, remove the strip from the specimen and place it on a non-absorbent flat surface. Start the timer and wait for the colored band(s) to appear. The result should be read at 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.

The BUP Rapid Test Device (Urine)

1. Remove the test from its sealed pouch, and place it on a clean, level surface. Label the test with patient or control identification. For best results, the assay should be performed within one hour.

2. Using the provided disposable pipette, transfer 3 drops of specimen (approximately 120 µL) to the specimen well (S) of the device and start the timer.

Avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen well (S), and do not add any solution to the result area.

As the test begins to work, color will migrate across the membrane.

3. Wait for the colored band(s) to appear. The result should be read at 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.
