MEP Rapid Test

Mephedrone, also known as 4-methyl methcathinone (4-MMC) or 4-methyl ephedrone, is a synthetic stimulant drug of theamphetamine and cathinone classes. Slang names include bath salts, drone, M-CAT, White Magicand meow meow.It is chemically similar to the cathinone compounds found in the khat plant of eastern Africa. Mephedrone has been used as a recreational drug in Europe and elsewhere in the world since 2007. It comes in the form of tablets or a powder, which users can swallow, snort or inject, producing similar effects to MDMA, amphetamines and cocaine. In addition to its stimulant effects, mephedrone produces side effects, of which teeth grinding are the most common. A number of metabolites are possible, however the n-demethyl metabolite of Mephedrone will be 4-Methylcathinone. This metabolite appears to be nearly inactive as a Monoamine Oxydase Inhibitor .On further metabolism of this metabolite one of the possible metabolites is 4-Methylnorephedrine, caused by the reduction of the Keto.The MEP Rapid Test Cassette is a rapid urine screening test that can be performed without the use of an instrument. The test utilizes a monoclonal antibody to selectively detect elevated levels of Mephedrone in urine. The MEP Rapid Test Cassette yields a positive result when Mephedrone in urine reaches 500ng/mL.
