Cocaine (COC) Rapid Test Cassette – OF (R76.97 Incl VAT per test – 25 tests in a box)

Cocaine is a potent central nervous system (CNS) stimulant and a local anesthetic derived from the coca plant (erythroxylum coca). The drug is often self-administered by nasal inhalation, intravenous injection and free-base smoking. Depending on the route of administration, cocaine and metabolites benzoylecgonine and ecgonine methyl ester can be detected in oral fluid as early as 5-10 minutes following use. Cocaine and benzoylecgonine can be detected in oral fluids for up to 24 hours after use.

The cocaine assay contained within the Multi-Drug Rapid Test Cassette/ Midstream for cocaine and opiates yields a positive result when the cocaine metabolite in oral fluid exceeds 20ng/ml.
