Description

Intended Use

Caffeine Rapid Test is a rapid visual immunoassay for the qualitative, presumptive detection of Caffeine in human urine specimens at the cut-off concentrations.

The accuracy of Caffeine Rapid Test was compared and checked against commercially available tests with a threshold value at the same cut-off levels. Urine samples taken from volunteers claiming to be non-users were examined under both tests. The results were >99.9% in agreement.

Introduction

Caffeine is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant of the methylxanthine class. It reversibly blocks the action of adenosine on its receptor and consequently prevents the onset of drowsiness induced by adenosine. Caffeine's biological half-life varies widely among individuals. In healthy adults, caffeine's half-life is between 3–7 hours. Caffeine is metabolized into three dimethylxanthines in the liver, Paraxanthine, Theobromine and Theophylline. Each of these metabolites is further metabolized and then excreted in the urine.
