The MCC Urine Adulteration Strip, is a plastic strip affixed with as chemical impregnated pad capable of detecting creatinine at a cut-off concentration of 20mg/dl. This test is used to obtain a visual, quick and qualitative result for detection of adulteration (dilution) of urine samples prior to drugs of abuse testing.

Performance Characteristics and Limitations of Procedure

Urinary creatinine concentration depends upon many factors such as muscle mass, gender, age, collection intervals and methodology. Creatinine values for random spot samples have been reported as 41-252 mg/dl for males and 19-215 mg/dl for females. The Department of Transportation has recommended that urine samples containing less than 20mg/dl creatinine be considered abnormally dilute. The VT strips are sensitive to 5-10 mg/dl creatinine concentration and therefore are a very effective means to detect adultered samples. Medications that discolor the urine may cause abnormal results due to masking of the reaction of the reagents on the pad.
