Xylazine is a non-opioid tranquilizer used as a sedative, analgesic, and muscle relaxant in animals such as horses and cattle[1],[3]. In recent years, xylazine has emerged as an adulterant in recreational drugs such as heroin[2]. Combining xylazine with other drugs that cause central nervous system depression compounds the sedative effects and can increase the risk of overdose and death[2].

Positive: Only one colored band appears, in the control region (C). No apparent colored band appears in the test region (T).
Negative: Two colored bands appear on the membrane. One band appears in the control region (C) and another band appears in the test region (T).
Invalid: NO line appears in the C – Control region, then the result is Invalid.

Xylazine, originally developed as a veterinary sedative and analgesic, has increasingly become a cause for concern due to its emerging role as a drug of abuse. While primarily intended for use in animals, the drug’s psychoactive properties have led to its illicit use in human populations.
No, this is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the detection of xylazine in urine. If you would like to test liquid or powder samples, our Rapid Response Xylazine Test Strips (Liquid/Powder) can.

- The Rapid Response™ Xylazine Test Strip (Urine) provides only a qualitative, preliminary analytical result. A secondary analytical method must be used to obtain a confirmed result. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or Liquid Chromatography mass spectrometry (LC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method.1,2
- It is possible that technical or procedural errors, as well as other interfering substances in the urine specimen may cause erroneous results.
- Adulterants, such as bleach and/or alum, in urine specimens may produce erroneous results regardless of the analytical method used. If adulteration is suspected, the test should be repeated with another urine specimen.
- A positive result indicates presence of the drug or its metabolites but does not indicate level of intoxication, administration route or concentration in urine.
- A negative result may not necessarily indicate drug-free
