Buprenorphine (BUP) Rapid Tests

Buprenorphine (BUP) Rapid Tests
The BUP Rapid Test is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the detection of
Buprenorphine in human urine/saliva.

Buprenorphine is a potent analgesic often used in the treatment of opioid
addiction. The drug is sold under the trade names Subutex,™ Buprenex,™
Temgesic,™ and Suboxone™ which contain Buprenorphine HCl alone or in
combination with Naloxone HCl. Therapeutically, Buprenorphine is used as a
substitution treatment for opioid addicts. Substitution treatment is a form of
medical care offered to opiate addicts (primarily heroin addicts) based on a
similar or identical substance to the drug normally used. In substitution
therapy, Buprenorphine is as effective as Methadone but demonstrates a lower
level of physical dependence. Concentrations of free Buprenorphine and
Norbuprenorphine in urine may be less than 1 ng/mL after therapeutic
administration, but can range up to 20 ng/mL in abuse situations. The plasma
half-life of Buprenorphine is 2-4 hours.1While complete elimination of a
single-dose of the drug can take as long as 6 days, the detection window for
the parent drug in urine is thought to be approximately 3 days.
