DESCRIPTION:

The Rapid ResponseTM Xylazine Test Strip (Liquid / Powder) constitutes a swift and visual immunoassay designed for the qualitative and presumptive identification of xylazine in suspicious substances, be they liquids or powders, with a cut-off concentration set at 1000 ng/mL.

Xylazine, originally employed as a non-opioid tranquilizer for animals like horses and cattle, has gained notoriety in recent times as an adulterant in recreational drugs, notably heroin. This unanticipated presence of xylazine in illicit substances poses heightened risks, as its combination with other drugs leading to central nervous system depression exacerbates sedative effects, elevating the potential for overdose and, tragically, death.

The test strip incorporates a built-in procedural control, ensuring the reliability of each analysis. Furthermore, results interpretation is conveniently printed directly on the pouch, simplifying the testing process. The individual packaging of each strip enhances ease of distribution, facilitating accessibility and utilization in diverse settings. The Rapid ResponseTM Xylazine Test Strip emerges as a crucial tool in combating the challenges posed by the illicit presence of xylazine in substances of concern.
