The Screen 1 MDMA Rapid Test, Ecstasy (Urine) is a rapid immunochromatographic test for the detection of Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (basic ingredient of Ecstasy) in human urine at the threshold concentration – limit of 500 ng/ml. This test also detects other compounds, please refer to the Analytical Specificity table in this package insert. Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (Ecstasy) is a designer drug first synthesized in 1914 by a German pharmaceutical company for the treatment of obesity1. Those who take it frequently have experienced side effects, such as increased muscle tension and sweating. MDMA is clearly not a stimulant, although it has the ability to increase blood pressure and heart rhythm in common with amphetamine. MDMA produces some changes in perception by increasing sensitivity to light, difficulty concentrating and blurred vision in some subjects. It is thought that its mechanism of action occurs through the neurotransmitter serotonin. MDMA can also release dopamine, although the general opinion is that this is a secondary effect of the drug (Nichols and Oberlender, 1990). The main effect of MDMA, which has probably occurred in anyone who has taken a reasonable dose, is to produce a contraction of the jaws. The MDMA Rapid Test Cassette (Urine) indicates positive results when the concentration of Methylenedioxymethamphetamine in the urine exceeds 500 ng/mL. (The 120ml urine container is supplied separately, you can buy it on the “Accessories” page).
