The THC/Marijuana/Cannabis Dip Strip Drug Urine Test is a simple one step test to check the level of marijuana in your system using the official Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) cut off level of 50 ng/ml.
The test checks for specific substances in your fluids and is based on the reactions between antigens and antibodies.
While you may not want to know the technical workings of the test, you should know that the test is fast, reliable and inexpensive.
Results are obtained in as little as 3 to 5 minutes and best of all you can do the test in the comfort of your home. Each test comes in an individually sterile pouch bag for added protection.
How To Read THC Results
As the test kit begins to work, a color band will appear at the left section of the result window to show that the test is working properly. This band is the Control Band.
Note: Due to the chemical nature of the THC, the color of the Test band is much fainter compared to the color of the Test band of other drugs of abuse tests. Therefore, it is best to read a test under sufficient amount of lighting.
The right section of the result window indicates the test results. If another color band appears at the right section of the result window, this band is the Test Band.
NEGATIVE:
TWO COLOR BANDS The appearance of two color bands within the result window indicates a negative test result. No THC above the cut-off level has been detected. The color of the Test band may be lighter or darker than that of the Control Band.
POSITIVE:
ONE COLOR BAND The appearance of only one color band within the result window indicates the result is positive, i.e. the specimen contains THC at a concentration above the cut-off level.
INVALID:
A distinct color band should always appear in the left section of the result window. The test is invalid if no color band forms in the left section of the result window.
Note. A very faint band in the right section of the result window, visible in 5 minutes, indicates that the amount of THC in the sample is near or below the cut-off level of the test. The urine specimen should be retested, or confirmed with a more specific alternative method such as gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, before a positive determination is made. |
