| Description | The Rapid MTD test is an immunochromatography based one step in vitro test. It is designed for qualitative determination of methadone in human urine specimens above a cut-off level of 300 ng/ml. The assay may be used in the point of care setting. The Rapid MTD test 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 mouse anti-methadone monoclonal antibody between methadone-protein conjugate and free drug which may be present in the urine specimen being tested. When methadone is present in the urine specimen, it competes with methadone-protein conjugate for the limited amount of monoclonal antibody-colloidal gold conjugate. When the amount of methadone is equal or more than the cut-off, it will prevent the binding of methadone-protein conjugate to the antibody. Therefore, a positive urine specimen 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. |
