Interpretation of test results are positive (one line), negative (two lines), invalid (no lines or no control line).

About the Test
Nitazene
Nitazenes are a class of synthetic drugs that have gained attention in the United States and other countries in recent years. The prevalence of nitazenes in the illegal drug supply has been on the rise since 2019. Recent evidence suggests nitazenes may be more potent than fentanyl and may require a higher dose of naloxone in case of overdose.1 In the same study, several individuals who overdosed on nitazenes were unaware that their drugs contained it.1

Disclaimers
- The test device is NOT intended to determine the purity, composition, or if the substance being examined is safe to use.
- A positive or negative test result is NOT an indication that the substance being examined is safe to use. Many factors come into play when examining the samples, including but not limited to mixture of multiple substances, solubility, and pH of the sample.
- BTNX Inc. does not encourage the use, supply, or production of illegal drugs or controlled substances in any way. The device is intended for harm reduction purposes. Follow the advice of your local harm reduction or public health agency.
- There is a possibility that technical or procedural errors as well as other substances and factors may interfere with the Rapid Response™ Nitazene Test Strip (Liquid / Powder) and cause false results.
- A positive result indicates the presence of nitazene only and does not indicate quantity.
- A negative result does not at any time rule out the presence of nitazene, as they may be present below the minimum detection level of the test.
