OCCUPATIONAL  MEDICINE (POC)

This line of Drugs of Abuse multi parameters tests is specifically  targeted for screening new employees  as well as for monitoring drivers and other workers categories according to each country regulations.

The tests are CE marked for professional use as well as suitable for self control.

They can be performed by any Doctor or operator on-site, on urines, in few minutes.

The tests are competitive sandwich-immuno-assays and in case there is no drug in the urine two red lines (test-and control-line) appear at the strips of the device.

If there is a drug of abuse in the urine sample only one control-line appears at the related test strip.

Here below they are listed  the products specifically required by latest Italian regulation ( DL 81/08  and subsequent communications ) on safety at work, with their various formats and particular cut-off.

In case of any need for a specific combination or in case of different enquiries as by other country regulations please freely contact us as we are able to satisfy any need of DOA test. 

NOTE: THE LINE IS ONLY AVAILABLE UNDER OEM BASIS (PRIVATE LABEL) OR OBL (CO-BRANDING).

 

MULTI DIP  7  DEVICE

 

(COC 300), (AMP 500), (MET 500), (THC 50), (OPI 300), (MDMA 500), (MTD 300).

 

The test system consists on 7 strips for  above drugs which are mounted in a plastics holder.

 

These test cassettes are available with three up to twelve strips.

 

Every side of the device can locate up to 6 strips so the 7 strips device has 6 tests at one side and one on the back side.

 

To perform the test, the strip  free endings are  immerged into the urine sample for at least 10 seconds.

 

The test strips are removed out of the urine sample when  a control line at every single parameter is visible on the strips.

 

Protection cup is then placed again to cover strips endings and the device is left on a flat surface.

 

Results are read after min 5 and max 15 minutes.

 

Accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of these tests are proven by available technical sheets to be almost 100%.

 

The advantage of the multi dip tests is the maximum flexibility as being strips independent each other the device can be assembled with desired tests combination.

 

MULTI DIP 8 DEVICE

(BUP 10), (COC 300), (AMP 500), (MET 500), (THC 50), (OPI 300) (MDMA 500), (MTD 300).

The test system consists on 8 strips for above drugs which are mounted in a plastics holder.

The procedure is same as previous combination.

 

 

MULTI DIP 8 + 2 ADULTERATION

TESTS DEVICE

(BUP 10 ), (COC 300), (AMP 500), (MET 500), (THC 50), (OPI 300), (MDMA 500), (MTD 300) +  pH + Creatinine

(BUP 10 ), (COC 300), (AMP 500), (MET 500), (THC 50), (OPI 300), (MDMA 500), (MTD 300) +  pH + Creatinine

The test system consists on 8 strips for above drugs which are mounted in a plastics holder + one strip with pH and Creatinine color pads.

 

 To perform the test, the strips free endings of the device are immerged into the urine sample for at least 10 seconds.

 

The test strips are removed out of the urine sample when  a control line at every single parameter is visible on the strips.

 

After 1-2 minutes the color changing of pH and Creatinine are compared with the color chart provided with the test.

 

Normal pH-values in urine vary from pH 4.0 to pH 9.0. Lower or higher pH-values show an adulteration of the urine sample.

 

The DOT guideline states that urine specimens with Creatinine levels of less than 20mg/dl ( 50 ng/dl in Italy ) are indicative of adulteration.

 

Drug of Abuse test result is read after 5 to 15 minutes from starting time.

 

MULTI DIP 8 + up to 6 ADULTERATION

TESTS DEVICE

To perform the test, the strips free endings of the device are immerged into the urine sample for at least 10 seconds.

 

The test strips are removed out of the urine sample when  a control line at every single parameter is visible on the strips.

 

After 1-2 minutes  the ADU tests colors are compared with the color chart provided with the test.

 

Drug of Abuse test result is read after 5 to 15 minutes from starting time.

 

MULTI LINE 7 DEVICE

(COC 300), (AMP 500), (MET 500), (THC 50), (OPI 300), (MDMA 500), (MTD 300).

The test system consists of 4 strips for 8 drugs which are mounted in a plastics holder.

Each test strip has a control zone and one or more drug of abuse  tests zone.

A number of sample wells corresponding to the strips are located  at one end of the device, corresponding to the end of each strip.

Urine is dropped by the operator into each sample well by using a plastic disposable pipette, included in the test pouch.

The procedure of the test is then same as for the multi – dip devices.

The urine will migrate along the strips and will generate 2 bands C: control and T: test. If one band of the T zones will not appear, the test is positive for the DOA correspondent to that band.

The advantage of the multiline tests is that all test is run at a side of the device so, upon termination, the result can be photographed or copied more easily than a double sides multi-dip.

Due the fact that in the multiline tests each strip can detect more than one Drug of abuse + control, the combination in a strip is not flexible as only DOA which do not interfere each other can stay on same test strip.

In case of Adulteration tests are needed, the same are supplied as side strips in tube.

MULTI LINE 8 DEVICE

(BUP 10 ), (COC 300), (AMP 500), (MET 500), (THC 50), (OPI 300), (MDMA 500), (MTD 300).  

The device is same as above with addition of  buprenorphine  (BUP) test.  So 4 strips / 8 tests.

In case of Adulteration tests are needed, the same are supplied as side strips in tube.

The test system consists on a plastic holder with several DOA strips + one strip with pH and creatinine color pads.

 

The strips are all located in  the  FRONT SIDE of the device, so to facilitate the reading and the photocopy of the test result.

 

To allow this, some of  the strips are multiline strips; it means they detect more than one DOA contemporarily, so 5 strips can read up to 8 DOA.

 

To perform the test, the strips free endings of the device are immerged into the urine sample for at least 10 seconds.

 

The test strips are removed out of the urine sample when  a control line at every single parameter is visible on the strips.

 

After 1- 2 minutes the colors changing of pH and Creatinine are compared with color chart supplied together with the test.

 

Normal pH-values in urine vary from pH 4.0 to pH 9.0. Lower or higher pH-values show an adulteration of the urine sample.

 

The DOT guideline states that urine specimens with Creatinine levels of less than 20mg/dl (50 mg/dl in Italy) are indicative of adulteration.

 

Drug of Abuse test result is read after 5 to 15 minutes from starting time.

    SCAN READ SYSTEM

 

We offer easy to use, flexible  reader systems based on a specific software, a high performing scanner and  bar coded tests.

The system reads most types of lateral flow immunoassay membranes, with or without cassettes (single strips)  in a minute, giving accurate quantitative or qualitative reading results.

Excellent for screening and documentation, the system is composed by CE marked products and is particularly suitable for Drug of Abuse multi test screening.

Results are given immediately and can be stored, printed by a thermal printer or as A4 patient report with your letterhead. 

 

Bar-Code example

The unique Bar-Code ( patent pending ) created to be used on lateral flow single strips or cassettes provides all information needed to:

  • Automatically identify each assay and find the correct standard curve and lot number
  • Automatically time the incubation for each assay
  • Perform quality control of image and data

 

Windows and Linux compatible technology ensure optimal and very competitive solutions. 

All you need to perform an objective and reliable analysis of qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative assays, is  your  PC.

We  provide you with

 1)   a mini scanner extremely quick and well performing with the software

2)   a USB Key with the software
 3)    DOA tests cassettes with integrated Bar-Code and visual ADU reading.

The DOA tests are read automatically by the instrument while the ADU color strips are scannered and included into the report test picture, so to be printed with the DOA test, but the color result is read by the Doctor and manually indicated on the printed report.

   4)  DOA COMBO OCCUPATIONAL

 

 

An automated reading of both drugs of abuse and adulteration tests with related integrated   report.

 

The report can be customized.

 

How does it work?

It is a very powerful software platform that can be used to analyse images.

The software has a set of common and complex algorithms which recognise images, and perform calculations.

And it has a build-in database for the approved assays and tests to be read and measured.

A patent pending Bar Code has been developed to automating the processes of reading different devices.

The lateral Flow Reader can read cassettes with theoretically any number of strips mounted.

Also there is no theoretical limitation of the number of analytes on a single strip / membrane.

The Lateral Flow Reader will adapt to any practical number.

One scanner can house many different cassettes or 3 multi line tests.

The application will read them all in one single scan!
