Drug TestsDrugs are everywhere around us and most parents worry about their child becoming involved with drugs. Parents often feel they do not know enough about drugs to help prevent their child from coming to harmTo perform the test1. Remove the test from the foil pouch2. Using a plastic cup, obtain a urine sample from the individual who is being tested. 3. Pull the test cap off the bottom of the test to reveal the absorbent testing strip. Do not touch the strip and do not throw away the test cap4. Carefully dip the test into the urine sample, ensuring that the urine does not come into contact with the plastic case of the test. Allow the test to absorb the urine for about 10-15 seconds. 5. After 15 seconds, remove the test from the urine and replace the test cap6. Lay the test on a clean flat surface while the test lines develop7. You can read negative results as soon as they appear but positive results must be read at least 5 minutes after removing from urine. Do not read the results after 10 minutes.ResultsYou will see 2 letters on the drug panel next to the test strip, 'C' (Control band) and 'T' (Test band). A pink coloured line should appear on the strip of the control band (C), this confirms that the test is working properly. If no line appears in the control band the test has not worked properly and you will need to do another testA second pink coloured line, no matter how faint should now appear in the test band (T), this is a negative result. If no further line appears in the test band (T) then the individual has tested positive for that drug of abuse.
