Your premium choice for protection, comfort, and tactile sensitivity
Fentanyl Test Strips (FTS) and Xylazine Test Strips (XTS) are low-cost methods to help prevent drug overdoses and reduce harm. Both FTS and XTS are small strips of paper that can detect the presence of Fentanyl and Xylazine respectively in various kinds of drugs (Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Heroin, etc.) and drug forms (pills, powder, and injectables).
FTS and XTS provide communities and people who use drugs with critical information about Fentanyl and Xylazine in the illicit drug supply, enabling them to take steps to mitigate the risk of overdose.
These newly created fentanyl test strips include simple instructions printed on the back, explaining how to use the test strip. There is also a QR code on the test strip that leads to the resources section on our website where we have a multitude of different infographics and video guides that cover all the different potential testing scenarios. Our FTS and XTS represent an effective, easy-to-use way to detect Fentanyl or Xylazine contents in a cut-off of 200 ng/mL. Users get built-in procedural control and results in five minutes.
WHAT IS FENTANYL?
Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic drug that is similar to morphine and heroin but is 50 to 100 times more potent.
Fentanyl and its analogues are members of the class of drugs known as rapid-acting synthetic opioids that alleviate pain.
Fentanyl acts quickly to depress central nervous system and respiratory function. Exposure to fentanyl may be fatal.
WHAT IS XYLAZINE?
Xylazine is a drug used in veterinary medicine as a sedative with analgesic and muscle relaxant properties. It is used to calm and facilitate handling, perform diagnostic and surgical procedures, relieve pain, or act as a local anesthetic.
Reports, alerts, and advisories indicate an increased xylazine prevalence as an adulterant in drugs of abuse mixtures. Besides its use as an adulterant, reports have also demonstrated that xylazine was used in Drug Facilitated Crimes (DFC) to induce sleep.
Xylazine is not approved for human use. Xylazine has been studied in humans for its potential use as an analgesic, hypnotic, and anesthetic, but these clinical trials were terminated due to its severe hypotension and central nervous system depressant effects.
