Home Express Test for marijuana

ImmunoChrome-MARIJUANA-Express strip is intended for in vitro one-stage rapid qualitative determination of marijuana and/or its metabolites in human urine by immunochromatographic analysis. The result of the determination using the ImmunoChrome-MARIJUANA-Express strip should be considered as preliminary. The use of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is recommended to confirm positive results.Operating principle:The determination is based on the principle of a competitive immunochromatographic assay, in which marijuana (or its metabolites) present in the analyzed sample competes with 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (the main metabolite of marijuana) immobilized on the membrane of the strip for the possibility binding with specific monoclonal antibodies to 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, conjugated with colloidal gold, preventing the formation of a pink-violet line in the lower part of the test zone. The remaining reagents provide the formation of a
