Intended Use
The BAR Barbiturates Test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of barbiturates in urine.
Summary
Barbiturates are central nervous system depressants. They are used therapeutically as sedatives, hypnotics, and anticonvulsants. Barbiturates are almost always taken orally as capsules or tablets. The effects resemble those of intoxication with alcohol. Chronic use of barbiturates leads to tolerance and physical dependence.
Short acting barbiturates taken at 400 mg/day for 2-3 months produces a clinically significant degree of physical dependence. Withdrawal symptoms experienced during periods of drug abstinence can be severe enough to cause death.
Only a small amount (less than 5%) of most barbiturates are excreted unaltered in the urine.
The approximate detection time limits for barbiturates are:
| Type of Barbiturates | Dosage & Administration | Detection Time |
| Short acting (e.g. Secobarbital) | 100 mg PO (oral) | 4.5 days |
| Long acting (e.g. Phenobarbital) | 400 mg PO (oral) | 7 days |
The BAR Barbiturates Test yields a positive result when the concentration of barbiturates in urine exceeds 300 ng/mL.
