BTNX Rapid Response Fentanyl (FYL) Forensic Test Strip
|
|
The Rapid Response Fentanyl (FYL) Forensic Test Strip
is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the
qualitative detection of Fentanyl in
liquid and powder substances at the cut-off
concentration of 200 ng/mL. Also available in a
kit, results are presented 5 minutes after the test
has been completed!
It is specific for Fentanyl screening with no
significant cross reactivity to other opiates, such as
Morphine and Heroin. The Rapid ResponseTM Fentanyl (FYL)
Forensic Test Kit is able to detect Fentanyl and many
other Fentanyl analogues such as Carfentanil, Acetyl
Fentanyl, Butyryl Fentanyl, Remifentanil, Ocfentanil,
Sufentanil, p-Fluoro Fentanyl, Furanyl Fentanyl,
Valeryl Fentanyl, and 3-Methyl Fentanyl.
