Key Features
Integrated All-in-One Design: The Bio-Cup combines the collection cup and the testing strips into a single, self-contained unit. This minimizes urine exposure and reduces the chance of procedural errors, ensuring a cleaner and more efficient testing process.
Rapid Results: The test provides preliminary results visually within minutes. This allows for immediate, on-site screening to determine the presence of various drug metabolites in a urine sample.
Multi-Panel Configurations: Premier Biotech offers the Bio-Cup in a wide range of panel options, from a 5-panel test to a 14-panel test or more. This allows agencies to screen for a broad spectrum of common drugs of abuse simultaneously. Commonly tested drugs include:
Amphetamines (AMP)
Barbiturates (BAR)
Benzodiazepines (BZO)
Buprenorphine (BUP)
Cocaine (COC)
Fentanyl (FYL)
Marijuana (THC)
Methamphetamine (MET)
Opiates/Morphine (MOR/OPI)
Oxycodone (OXY)
Phencyclidine (PCP)
Built-in Specimen Validity/Adulteration Testing: Many Bio-Cup configurations include an integrated specimen validity test (SVT). These strips check for common adulterants by measuring pH, specific gravity (SG), and oxidants (OX) to ensure the integrity of the urine sample and detect potential tampering.
Easy Interpretation: The results are displayed on individual strips for each drug class. A single line typically indicates a preliminary positive result, while two lines indicate a negative result. This one-drug-per-strip format is designed for clear and unambiguous reading.
Leak-Proof Lid: The cup is designed with a secure, leak-proof lid, which is essential for the safe handling and transport of the specimen, especially if it needs to be sent to a laboratory for confirmation.
Uses for "Forensic Use Only"
The "Forensic Use Only" designation means the Bio-Cup is intended for qualitative screening purposes within specific legal and correctional contexts. It is a tool for preliminary investigation, and positive results should be confirmed by a laboratory using more specific methods like Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS).
Primary uses include:
Law Enforcement: Police departments and other law enforcement agencies use these tests for drug screening in the field or at the station as part of criminal investigations.
Court Systems and Probation/Parole: They are widely used by probation and parole officers to monitor individuals under their supervision for compliance with court-ordered sobriety.
Correctional Facilities: Jails, prisons, and juvenile detention centers utilize these cups to screen inmates for illicit drug use, helping to maintain safety and security within the facility.
Other Government Agencies: Various other government entities, including certain military divisions, may use these tests for non-medical screening purposes.
