Description

Intended Use

Morphine Rapid Test (Urine) is a rapid visual immunoassay for the qualitative presumptive detection of morphine and other opiates in human urine specimens at the cut-off concentrations.

The accuracy of Morphine Rapid Test (Urine) 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 >97% in agreement.

Introduction

The opiates (OPI) such as heroin, morphine (MOR/MOP), and codeine are derived from the resin of opium poppy. Heroin is quickly metabolized to morphine. Thus, morphine and morphine glucuronide might both be found in the urine of a person who has taken only heroin. The body also changes codeine to morphine. Thus the presence of morphine (or the metabolite, morphine glucuronide) in the urine indicates heroin, morphine and/or codeine use. But a positive test result does not automatically mean that an abuse of drugs has been taken place since also some fully legally taken medicaments do contain opiates (e.g. codeine).
