Description
This strip is made for the detection in human urine of methylphenidate, better known by its commercial name, Ritalin (or Concerta, Quasym, Equasim, Focalin).
Ritalin is usually used to treat disorders of attention deficit and hyperactivity. However, this drug is increasingly derived from its medical purpose to a "recreational" use, because methylphenidate has psycho-stimulant properties. Therefore, some people also take methylphenidate order to improve their performances in a student or professional field.
This test is a qualitative assay (type "NO / YES"), and thus delivers a "NEGATIVE" or "POSITIVE" result.
