How to read results
Negative

A negative result is indicated by two (2) rose pink color bands of any intensity, one in the control (C) region AND one in the test (T) region. This result means that the urine screened negative. 

​

Remember - even a very faint line is a negative result.

Positive

A single rose pink color band which appears in the control (C) region, and NO line in the test (T) region means the urine screen is considered to be positive.

No results

A test must be considered NO RESULT if no band appears or if a band appears in the test (T) region without a band in the control (C) region. The presence of a control band is necessary to confirm assay performance and must always appear.
