BAR urine test (barbiturates)

Description

This strip is made for the detection in human urine of barbiturates, which are part of anxiolytic drugs, sedatives, anesthetics etc.

Widely used in the 1980s, today they are much less used, especially because of new molecules, such as benzodiazepines.

This test is a qualitative assay (type "NO / YES"), and thus delivers a "NEGATIVE" or "POSITIVE" result.
