Detection Period: Fentanyl can be detected approximately within 1-4 hours of use and up to 1-3 days afterward.
Detection Level: 20 ng/mL (Norfentanyl as the calibrator*)
Brief Description of Drug: Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid used to treat severe pain, particularly breakthrough pain in cancer patients. It is highly potent, significantly more than morphine, and carries a high risk of overdose.
Forms: Fentanyl is available in various forms, including patches, lozenges, tablets, nasal sprays, and injectables.
Methods of Consumption: Swallowed, injected, or absorbed through the skin (transdermal patches).
Product Overview: Our Fentanyl Drug Test is designed to detect the presence of fentanyl in urine using Norfentanyl, a metabolite of fentanyl, as the calibrator at a detection level of 20 ng/mL. This test is highly accurate and provides rapid results, making it an essential tool for identifying recent fentanyl use.
How the Test Works:
- Sample Collection: Collect a urine specimen in a clean and dry container at any time of the day.
- Test Procedure: Dip the test card into the urine specimen and wait for 5 minutes.
- Reading Results:
- Negative Result: Two lines will appear—one in the Control Region and one in the Test Region.
- Positive Result: No line will appear in the Test Region, but a line will appear in the Control Region, indicating a successful test and the presence of fentanyl.
Relevance of Fentanyl Testing: Fentanyl misuse has become a significant public health issue due to its high potency and risk of overdose. According to the CDC, synthetic opioids, primarily fentanyl, are the main drivers of drug overdose deaths in the United States, contributing to nearly 73% of opioid-related fatalities in 2020. This highlights the critical need for accurate and reliable fentanyl testing to help manage and mitigate this crisis.
Brand Names: Fentanyl is marketed under various brand names, including Actiq, Abstral, Fentora, Onsolis, Duragesic, and Sublimaze.
Key Features:
- High Accuracy: Detects fentanyl at a sensitivity of 20 ng/mL using Norfentanyl as the calibrator.
- Quick Results: Provides results within 5 minutes.
- Easy to Use: Simple urine sample collection and testing procedure.
Usage and Safety Information: Fentanyl is a Schedule II controlled substance due to its high potential for abuse and addiction. It should only be used as prescribed by a healthcare provider and stored securely to prevent misuse.
Additional Information: Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that binds to the body’s opioid receptors, primarily in areas of the brain responsible for pain and emotions. It is approximately 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Illegally manufactured fentanyl, often mixed with other drugs, has significantly contributed to the increase in overdose deaths.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Allow the test card and/or test strip, urine specimen, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30 degrees Celsios) prior to testing.
DIRECTIONS FOR SINGLE TEST CARD
- Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test card from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.
- Remove the cap.
- With the arrow pointing toward the urine specimen, immerse the test card vertically in the urine specimen for at least 10 to 15 seconds. Immerse the strip to at least the level of the wavy lines, but not above the arrow on the test card. Replace the cap and place the test card on a non-absorbent flat surface.
- Start the timer and wait for the colored line(s) to appear.
- The result should be read at 5 minutes. Results may be stable up to 1 hour after test initiation.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
NEGATIVE:* Two lines appear. One colored line should be in the control region (C), and another apparent colored line should be in the test region(T). This negative result indicates that the marijuana concentration is below the detectable level (50 ng/mL).
*NOTE: The shade of color in the test line region (T) will vary, but it should be considered negative whenever there is even a faint line.
POSITIVE: One colored line appears in the control region (C). No line appears in the test region (T). This positive result indicates that the marijuana concentration exceeds the detectable level (50 ng/mL).
INVALID: Control line fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test using a new test card or test strip. If the problem persists, discontinue use of the lot immediately and contact your distributor.
1. Does your fentanyl test show up on an opiate drug test?
Answer: No, fentanyl does not show up on an opiate drug test and a separate test must be conducted on a fentanyl-specific drug screen. The Fentanyl Drug Test detects the presence of norfentanyl, a metabolite of fentanyl, in the urine.
2. What is the significance of using Norfentanyl as the calibrator in drug testing for fentanyl?
Answer: Using Norfentanyl as the calibrator means that the test is specifically designed to detect the metabolite of fentanyl at a cutoff level of 20 ng/mL. This ensures that the test is sensitive to the presence of fentanyl and provides accurate results for recent use.
3. How effective are instant home drug tests for detecting fentanyl?
Answer: Instant home drug tests for fentanyl are highly convenient and provide quick results, often within minutes. They are designed to be user-friendly, making them accessible for anyone to administer. When used correctly, these tests offer accurate detection of fentanyl use, helping to identify recent drug use efficiently.While laboratory-based tests are more comprehensive, home tests are a reliable screening solution that is far more affordable. The combination of convenience, speed, and accuracy, and price makes instant home drug tests a valuable tool for families, small businesses, and schools looking to maintain a drug-free environment.
