Intended Use
6-MAM (6-Monoacetylmorphine) Test (Urine)
This is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of 6-Monoacetylmorphine in urine, with a cut-off concentration of 100 ng/ml.
This assay provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method.
Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used.
Summary
The metabolism of heroin contain 6-monoacetylmorphine, so 6-monoacetylmorphine is recommended as a specific assay for heroin abuse.6-monoacetylmorphine has a half-life of about 35 min in vivo, followed by rapid metabolism to morphine. The heroin users can measure 6-monoacetylmorphine time is generally within 24 hours, the best detection time after smoking is 2- 8 hours. In addition, some studies have shown that the longer the time of heroin abuse, the greater the amount of abuse, and the shorter the interval between the last abuse and urine collection test,the greater the possibility of detecting heroin or 6-monoacetylmorphine.The Heroin Test (Urine) yields a positive result when the concentration of 6-Monoacetylmorphine in urine exceeds +50% of cut off 100 ng/mL
