Testing a Suspected Sample

To test a suspected sample, the operator twists open the tube containing the sampling swab and dabs the swab in the suspected sample. The operator then returns the sampling swab into the cap and twists the tube closed. After closing, the buffer solution travels through the swab, dissolves the sample, and carries it to the assay strip. The results are visible through the clear tube within one to three minutes. The presence or absence of fentanyl derivatives is displayed in one or two pink lines, respectively, on the test strip. This single-use, self-contained assay is designed to be leak proof and to safely contain the potentially hazardous sample inside the device after collection. FentAlert™ has an expiration of one year from the date of manufacture.
