The world's first! The fentanyl detection from Shenzhen Superbio Technology has been approved by the US FDA!

Recently, Shenzhen Superbio Technology Co., Ltd. Fentanyl Drug Abuse Detection Kit (fluorescence chromatography method) has obtained 510 (k) pre-market notification, which is the world's first POCT product approved by the US FDA for the detection of fentanyl by fluorescence method. Its detection threshold can reach 1ng/mL, and the detection time only takes 5 minutes. 

Current Situation and Supervision of Fentanyl Abuse

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that has a powerful analgesic effect that is 50 to 100 times that of morphine. Due to its strong drug effect and low production cost, fentanyl is often added to heroin to enhance its medicinal properties, or disguised as high-grade heroin, which also causes many drug addicts to die of fentanyl by mistake. Fentanyl is extremely deadly, with as little as 2 mg of fentanyl causing death, and users taking a dose of 0.25 mg are already at high risk of overdose. Fentanyl drug abuse is already a hot topic around the world. Especially in the United States, fentanyl has become the leading cause of drug abuse deaths.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for simple, practical, fast and convenient detection methods for fentanyl compounds at home and abroad.

Fentanyl detection

The fentanyl urine rapid detection kit launched by Shenzhen Superbio Technology, based on fluorescence chromatography, detects the content of fentanyl in the human body through human urine samples, and improves the detection sensitivity of fentanyl to 1ng/mL.

The kit can complete a high-accuracy and high-sensitivity detection within 5 minutes. Which can be widely used in judicial review, pain clinic, hospital emergency and other scenarios.
