Step 1. Remove the test strip from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.
Step 2. Hold the test strip by the thumb grip with the absorbent tip facing down.
Step 3. Dip the test strip vertically into the urine specimen with the max line pointing down for 10-15 seconds.
Step 4. Lay the test strip on the back side of the open pouch and run a timer for 5 minutes.
Step 5. Compare the results to the visuals shown on the back of the Exploro® box (also shown in the picture below). For complete accuracy make sure you do not read the result before or after these 5 minutes.
If you see only one "T" line or don't see any lines at all, it means that the result of your test is invalid (see the picture below) and you need to re-take the test.
However, when you see two lines (no matter how faint or dark the "T" line is), it means that the result of your test is negative (see the picture below). If the “T” line is very faint, that means that the concentration of THC in your body is somewhere around 50 ng/ml, which is the cut-off level of the test strips.
No, in this instance, the Control line ("C") did not show up, therefore, the test is invalid. For a positive test result only the Control line ("C") must be visible.
If the Control line ("C") is not showing on your THC test strip, please review the procedure and repeat with a new test strip. In some cases, the Contro line ("C") may not show up because you may have flooded the test by putting too much urine on it, or the urine was added too fast.
In rare cases, one can observe contradicting test results within a short period of time (even within the same day). This usually means that the concentration of THC in one's system is around 50 ng/ml (which is a detection level of Exploro® test strips).
The THC detection threshold or cut-off level of the Exploro® test strips is 50 ng/ml.
Detection time depends strongly on the frequency of drug use, dosage and the last time of use. THC can be detected in urine up to 35+ days after consumption, although marijuana/cannabis used chronically may stay in the system for up to 100 days, in case of a single use, these drugs stay for up to 7 days.
When you are testing your urine specimen on the presence of THC, you should follow the instructions provided together with the product. Please be sure to check your test at exactly 5 minutes and do not iterpret the results after 8 minutes. After 8 minutes, the chemical reaction is unstable, and color changes may occur.
A positive result (one line - as shown in the picture below) means that the drug is above the detectable level (50 ng/ml).
A negative result (two lines - as shown in the picture below) means that the drug concentration in your urine sample is below the detectable level (50 ng/ml) or does not exist at all.
The first morning urine is typically the most concentrated. That's why collecting and testing a specimen first thing in the morning (before consuming any foods or fluids) will give the most accurate results.
The shelf-life of the Exploro® THC test is about 24 months (2 years). Each box has an expiration date printed on it, so you will know exactly how long the test strips are usable for. However, we recommend that every product is used within 6 months of purchasing.
When utilized according to the recommendations provided, the Exploro® at-home urine THC test has been proven to show >99 percent accuracy.
THC test strips have chemical pads or reagents, which react when they come in contact with urine (most commonly used biological specimen for drug testing). When the drug substance and/or its metabolites binds to the testing strip, it gives a positive or negative result.
THC drug test strips are intended to detect THC metabolites in urine. This is the sole purpose of the testing strips, therefore, they cannot be used to detect anything else.
The best way to test for THC at home is by using THC urine test strips. These are easy-to-use, 99% accurate, and give you results in 5 minutes. Also, the concentration of drug metabolites in the urine tend to be high therefore it can be detected up to 45 days after your last use.
A urine drug test is the most common form of pre-employment testing and usually apliccants are tested for the THC substance. When performing a urine analysis for THC, the standard cutoff level for initial screening is 50 ng/ml and for cofirmatory screening - 15 ng/ml. Find out more about this topic by clicking here.
THC drug tests are designed to detect tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or its metabolites and don't screen for CBD. However, some CBD products contain small amounts of THC and can theoretically be detected on drug test.
Excessive drinking of water and other fluids before taking the test will dilute the urine and the results will be not reliable. Therefore, it is recommended to take the test first thing in the morning before consuming any food or fluids.
Absolutely not! Detected urine concentration of THC above the cut-off sensitivity level, or a positive result, is possible only through use / inhalation. However, secondhand smoking will leave traces in the system, but not at the concentrations which would indicate drug abuse.
The Exploro® tests have a 99% accuracy. These are the same tests used by the law enforcement, employers, etc. Make sure your child is not taking any OTC or prescribed medications that would interfere with the drug test results. Your family doctor can order confirmation testing if you believe it may be necessary.
Yes, there are drug specific medications that may cause interferences. The most common problem is pseudoephedrine present in many sinus infection and cold medications, as it may cause a positive result for methamphetamine. A GC/MS confirmation, as well as an MRO review are necessary to determine the source of the positive drug test result.
No, once a pouch is opened the test must be used. The active ingredients of the test are moisture sensitive.
Specimens can be stored in refrigerators at 36 to 46°F (2-8° C) for up to two (2) days (48 hours) or frozen at 32°F (0°), before testing. However, it is strongly recommended to test the sample as soon as possible after collection.
Most likely no. In most cases, "vape juice" contains a relatively low amount of THC and if a person ingests THC only by vaping, most likely he/she will see a negative result. However, it also depends on factors like the frequency of use of the vape, body weight, metabolism, amount of liquids consumed. It has been observed that if a person vapes subscription THC once a day, he/she shows negative when performing the test. That does not mean that one's body is free from THC though. The cut-off level of Exploro® test strips is 50 ng/ml. When a person vapes THC, he/she might show positive when performing the test using a lower cut-off level test.
No. Samples of urine will most likely be contaminated during menstruation. Take the test after your period.
It's a drug test made to look for the active ingredient THC, which can be found in substances such as marijuana, ganja, weed, dank, pot, zig zag, bud, grass, hydro, hashish, etc.
Step 1. Remove the test strip from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.
Step 2. Hold the test strip by the thumb grip with the absorbent tip facing down.
Step 3. Dip the reaction pad of the test strip into the breast milk for 5-10 seconds.
Step 4. Lay the test strip along with the Exploro color scale card (included in each box) and run a timer for 2 minutes.
Step 5. Read results exactly at 2 minutes by comparing the reaction pad color with the color scale on the card (also shown in the picture below) to see what is your level of BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) and to find out if it's safe to breastfeed your baby or not. For complete accuracy make sure you do not read the result before or after these 2 minutes!
Here are possible results you may get, when using Exploro breast milk alcohol test strips:
| POSITIVE | NEGATIVE | INVALID |
|
If your breast milk is alcohol-affected, the result will show in the scale of 0.02% (light blue) to 0.3% (dark blue), represented by the intensity of blue color. |
When strip saturation pad does not show any changes of color, this indicates no alcohol has been detected. |
If the reaction pad is blue before applying milk sample, do not use the test strip. |
Save strips, save money! It takes time for body to get rid of the alcohol. If you find that your breast milk test is positive for alcohol, it is recommended to use the table below as a guideline for the next check.
Alcohol test strips for breastfeeding mothers are 99.9% accurate according to the latest laboratory studies. Provided that all the instructions are followed carefully, the same test carried out at home should have the same percentage of accuracy.
Exploro® Safe Milk breast milk alcohol test consists of a plastic strip with a reaction pad attached at the tip. As soon as alcohol solutions come in contact with the reaction pad, it will rapidly change colors depending on the concentration of alcohol present. The pad function is based on solid-phase chemistry which employs a highly specific enzyme reaction.
For better results use a little bit more than a few drops, because the first drops of breast milk might not be affected by alcohol, and it might not be detected. Therefore, we strongly advise that the test strip is submerged into a cup with some breast milk in it.
No, read the results at exactly 2 mninutes by visually comparing the color of the reaction pad with the result chart on the package to determine the relative blood alcohol level. Do not interpret results after 3 minutes. Each human body reacts to alcohol differently, so sometimes when you feel sober there still might be traces of alcohol in your system, therefore, please make sure you wait for exactly 2 minutes. After 3 minutes the chemical reaction is not reliable.
If the result is positive, please check the chart below to find out when your breast milk will be free of alcohol. Before breastfeeding ensure yourself to have alcohol free system by taking another test. Note that chart is graded regarding human's avarage alcohol split up by hours, so be sure you are checking at the right time. The more time passes, the lower the alcohol levels.
* BAC - Blood alcohol content.
If the result is negative and the saturation pad of the test strip has not shown any changes, this means that your breast milk is safe for your baby.
Alcohol takes time to reach your blood system and, consequently, your breast milk. For better results, use a little bit more than a few drops, because the first drops of breast milk might not be affected by alcohol. Therefore, we strongly advise that the test strip is submerged into a cup with some breast milk in it.
When you are testing your breast milk for presence of alcohol, you should follow the instructions that are printed on the back of the test strip package. Please be sure to check your test at exactly 2 minutes and do not interpret results after 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, the chemical reaction is not stable and color change may vary from dark blue to brown.
We recommend breastfeeding your baby when no alcohol is detected in your breast milk. In other words, when the test is negative.
The shelf-life of the Exploro® breast milk alcohol test is one year (12 months). Each pouch and each test kit box has it's expiry date printed on it, therefore, you will know exactly for how long they will be usable. If you received the package and there is less than 6 months left to the expiry date, we will change this package for free. Do not use our breast milk alcohol test after the expiration date.
If you have pumped milk and the test strip you placed in that milk shows 0.02%, then your milk will retain that alcohol content even if you refrigerate it and wait for some time. If you nurse your baby from your breast 3-4 hours later your breast milk will likely contain zero alcohol. That's because the milk in your body contains about the same amount of alcohol as your blood at any given time.
The Exploro® breast milk alcohol test strips are designed only for human breast milk, therefore, avoid dipping test strips directly into any alcohol drink because it will not show reliable results due to high sensitivity of the test strip. The test may be qualitatively verified by using a test solution prepared by adding 5 drops of distilled spirits to 8 oz. (1 cup) of water. This solution should produce a color reaction on the pad. The color reaction with alcohol in breast milk is somewhat slower and less intense than with alcohol in a water solution.
Yes, if the breast milk has alcohol, it will be detected even when refrigerated. Tests show, that the results are accurate even when breast milk is cold. However, for the best results breast milk should be at least room temperature.
The Exploro® Safe Milk for breastfeeding test is very sensitive to presence of alcohol. A blue color that is lighter than the one on the 0.02% color pad should be interpreted as being positive for presence of alcohol in the milk, but its concentration in the system is less than 0.02%.
