Bio-Quant Direct ELISA kits for amphetamine and methamphetamine can reliably detect these drugs in blood, urine, and saliva down to 3 ng/mL in buffer and 6 ng/mL in biological matrices. The amphetamine kit also detects MDA (282% cross-reactivity), PMA (265%), 4-MTA (280%), and phentermine (61%). The methamphetamine kit cross-reacts with MDMA (73%), MDEA (18%), pseudoephedrine (19%), MBDB (8%), and ephedrine (9%). Both kits are fast and accurate for routine toxicological screening.
