5-Panel Drug Test (Strip) (AMP, BAR, BZD, MOR, THC) description:

Los Angeles based Diagnostic Automation/Cortez Diagnostics, Inc., producer of efficient drug testing kits, offers a 5 Panel Drug Test for any combination drugs: (AMP) Amphetamine drug test, (BAR) Barbiturate drug test, (BZD) Benzodiazepine drug test, (MOR) Morphine drug test, and (THC) Marijuana drug test.  This 5 panel drug testing kit features drug test strips and is designed for qualitative determination of drug substances in human urine specimen.



The five panel - (BAR) Barbiturate drug test, (BZD) Benzodiazepine drug test, (MOR) Morphine drug test, and (THC) Marijuana drug test device is based on the principle of specific immunochemical reaction between antibodies and antigens to analyze particular compounds in human urine specimen. The assay relies on the competition for binding antibody between drug conjugate and free drug which may be present in the urine specimen being tested.  When the Amphetamine (AMP), Barbiturate (BAR), Benzodiazepine (BZD), Morphine, (MOR), or Marijuana (THC) drug is present in the urine specimen, it competes with drug conjugate for the limited amount of antibody-dye conjugate. When the amount of the Amphetamine (AMP), Barbiturate (BAR), Benzodiazepine (BZD), Morphine, (MOR), or Marijuana (THC) drug is equal or more than the cut-off, it will prevent the binding of drug conjugate to the antibody. Therefore, a positive urine specimen on the 5 panel drug test - (AMP) Amphetamine drug test, (BAR) Barbiturate drug test, (BZD) Benzodiazepine drug test, (MOR) Morphine drug test, and (THC) Marijuana drug test will not show a colored band on the test line zone, indicating a positive result, while the presence of a colored band indicates a negative result.  An internal control line is present in the test window to work as procedural control. This colored band should always appear on the control line zone if the 5 panel drug test -  (AMP) Amphetamine drug test, (BAR) Barbiturate drug test, (BZD) Benzodiazepine drug test, (MOR) Morphine drug test, and (THC) Marijuana drug testing device is stored in good condition and the 5 panel drug test - (AMP) Amphetamine drug test, (BAR) Barbiturate drug test, (BZD) Benzodiazepine drug test, (MOR) Morphine drug test, and (THC) Marijuana drug test is performed appropriately.



Amphetamines are a class of potent sympathominetic agents with therapeutic applications. The most common amphetamine drugs are d-amphetamine and d,l-amphetamine.  Amphetamine drugs are metabolized by a number of pathways. In general, acid urine promotes excretion whereas alkaline urine retards it. In 24 hours, approximately 79% of the amphetamine drug dose is excreted in acid urine and about 45% in alkaline urine. Typically, about 20% of the amphetamine drug is excreted as unchanged amphetamine. Unchanged amphetamine can be detected up to 1 to 2 days after use.  The cutoff for this 5 panel amphetamine drug test is 1000 ng/ml of d-amphetamine.



Barbiturates (BAR) are a group of prescription drugs that are frequently abused.  Barbiturate drugs can depress the central nervous system.  Short-acting barbiturate drugs normally remain detectable in urine for 4 to 6 days, while long-acting barbiturate drugs can be detected for up to 30 days.  Barbiturate drugs are excreted in the urine in unchanged forms, hydroxylated derivatives, carboxylated derivatives and glucuronide conjugates.   The cutoff level for this 5 panel barbiturate drug test is 300 ng/ml of secobarbital.



Benzodiazepines are a class of widely prescribed central nervous system depressants which have anxiolytic, hypnotic, anti-convulsant and muscle relaxant effects. The effects of benzodiazepines drug use last 4 to 8 hours. Many of the benzodiazepine drugs share a common metabolic route, and are excreted as oxazepam and its glucuronide in urine. Oxazepam is detectable in the urine for up to 7 days after drug use.    The cutoff level for this 5 panel benzodiazepine drug test is 300 ng/ml of oxazepam.



The Morphine drug (MOR) is an opioid analgesic, the principal and most active alkaloid of opium.  The morphine drug is excreted unmetabolized and is the marker metabolic product of opiate drugs.  The morphine drug and the drug morphine glucuronide are detectable in urine for several days after opiate drug dose.  The cutoff level for this 5 panel morphine drug test is 300 ng/ml of morphine.



The agents of the Marijuana Drug (THC) that cause various biological effects in humans are called cannabinoid.  THC is the primary active ingredient in cannabinoids. The main metabolite excreted in the urine is THC-9-COOH, which are found within hours of exposure and remain detectable in the urine for 3-10 days after smoking.  The cutoff level for this 5 panel marijuana drug test is 50 ng/ml of 11-nor-D9-THC-9-COOH.



The five panel drug test kit-provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry (GC/MS) has been established as the preferred confirmatory method by the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are indicated.



The optional built-in Adulteration Test is for validation of urine specimen’s integrity and must not be used for In Vitro diagnostic use.  For customized cutoff levels for any multi panel drug tests, please contact Customer Service.  This 5 panel drug test - (AMP) Amphetamine drug test, (BAR) Barbiturate drug test, (BZD) Benzodiazepine drug test, (MOR) Morphine drug test, and (THC) Marijuana drug test is available in cassette, strip, or cup format.
