The Rapid Response™ Xylazine Test Strip (Liquid/Powder) is a rapid visual immunoassay for the qualitative, presumptive detection of xylazine in suspicious substances (liquids or powders) at the cut-off concentration of 1000 ng/mL.
The latest update to the Rapid Response™ Xylazine Test Strip (2.0) can be used to test cocaine samples and has shown no cross-reactivity with lidocaine.
‘Xylazine, also known as “tranq”, is an animal tranquilizer used to provide sedation, pain relief, and muscle relaxation in dogs, cats, horses, and other animals. Xylazine was initially studied in humans as a potential blood pressure-lowering drug, but its use in humans was abandoned after the drug was found to cause excessive sleepiness. Currently, xylazine is not approved for human use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Xylazine was initially discovered as an illicit drug contaminant in the U.S. in the early 2000s. Since then, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency has found xylazine in illicit drugs, including cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl, throughout the country.
In humans, xylazine use can cause drowsiness, abnormally slow or absent breathing, low blood pressure, and a slow heart rate. In severe cases, a coma can develop and require the insertion of a breathing tube and hospitalization in an intensive care unit. The signs and symptoms of xylazine overdose are similar to those of heroin, fentanyl, and other opioids. When xylazine is added to opioids, severe toxicity and death can occur due to the combined effects of the drugs.’
