Methadone Test Strips – MTD/300 Urine Dip Strip

Methadone Test Strips – MTD/300 Urine Dip Strip

These methadone test strips are single-panel urine dip strips that screen a urine specimen for methadone at a 300 ng/mL cutoff. Each test gives a preliminary result in minutes and is sold individually, so you can order exactly the quantity your program needs.

Methadone is used in opioid treatment programs, and a separate methadone test is needed because standard opiate panels are not designed to detect it.

This product is Forensic Use Only. Related options are listed in our single-panel drug test strips category, including the methadone MTD/300 dip card.

MTD Dip Strip Cutoff Level

This dip strip screens for one target. Programs that need several drugs at once should compare our multi-panel cups and dip cards.

Methadone Test Strips Features

Each dip strip is individually sealed and includes an internal control line, so every test shows whether it was run correctly.

The dip strip is used with urine collected in a separate cup. That keeps the cost per test low and lets you add a methadone screen to an existing collection process.

Because it screens only one target, the dip strip can be paired with a multi-panel cup or dip card when methadone needs to be added to a broader drug screen.

Why Screen for Methadone?

Programs monitoring opioid treatment often need to confirm methadone is present or absent in a screen. An MTD strip provides that single-drug check.

Programs that also monitor the methadone metabolite can compare the EDDP drug test.

MTD/300 screens for methadone, which is commonly monitored in opioid treatment programs.

How to Use and Read Results

Always follow the package insert supplied with the exact lot, because collection steps and reading times can differ between devices.

1. Collect the urine specimen in a clean, separate collection cup.
2. Remove the strip from the sealed pouch and hold it by the top end.
3. Dip the arrow end into the urine without passing the MAX line, for the time stated in the insert.
4. Lay the strip flat on a clean, non-absorbent surface and read the result within the stated window.

• Negative: both the control line (C) and the test line (T) appear for the test. A faint test line is interpreted according to the insert.
• Non-negative (preliminary positive): the control line appears but the test line does not. This is a preliminary screening result, not a confirmed result.
• Invalid: no control line appears. Do not interpret the result; repeat the test with a new device.

A non-negative screen should be followed by laboratory confirmation according to your program’s procedure before any final decision is made. A screening result does not show impairment, dose or the time of use.
