Method Description

This assay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay technique. The assay will be performed semiquantitatively. The assay is based on competition between free drug in the urine sample and a drug labeled with the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase for a fixed amount of specific antibody binding sites. Active enzyme converts nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD[+]) to NADH, which results in an absorbance change that can be measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nm.(Package insert: Fentanyl Enzyme Immunoassay.
