Pointe Brand Fentanyl is the Superior Choice

Pointe Fentanyl Open Channel Reagent is FDA cleared and designed for prescription use on a number of automated clinical chemistry analyzers. The Pointe Fentanyl reagent is intended for the qualitative determination of norfentanyl in human urine at the cutoff value of 5 ng/mL. This is important because up to 85% of fentanyl is excreted over 3-4 days and only 26-55% of norfentanyl is excreted in that same time frame.

Why Norfentanyl Testing Matters

  • Fentanyl is rapidly metabolized to its major inactive metabolite,
    norfentanyl **

 

  • Drugs that are rapidly metabolized (have a short half-life), such as fentanyl, are mainly detected indirectly by their metabolites. ***
    • Fentanyl’s half life is anywhere from 3-12 hours *****
    • Norfentanyl’s half life is 9-10 hours *****
  • Only immunoassays specifically directed toward the molecule will detect synthetic opioids, such as methadone or fentanyl ***
  • The most common reasons for opioid false-negative results are using incorrect testing for a specific opioid or there is insufficient concentration of opioid in the urine **
