Nitazenes Test
Nitazenes are a powerful new class of synthetic opioids, often hundreds of times stronger than morphine, and are missed by traditional drug screens, creating a major challenge for healthcare and law enforcement. To combat this, Randox have developed the world’s first immunoassay nitazenes test for urine samples.
Why Choose the Evidence MultiSTAT for Nitazenes Screening?
First To Market
The only product on the market
that can test for nitazenes in
urine in <20 minutes.
Keep Communities Safe
Our rapid results allow you to get
information out quickly to local
authorities and public health.
Highly Accurate Results
Biochip results are comparable to
confirmatory testing, providing you with reliable results you can trust.
Fully Automated Ease of Use
The Evidence MultiSTAT is a fully
automated analyser; simply load the
sample and press start.
Large Detection Range
Detect up to 10 different nitazenes
and their metabolites due to our
assay cross-reactivity.
Catalogue Number: EV4658
How Nitazenes Are Typically Detected
Until now, nitazenes have typically been detected through either lateral flow test strips, which have a high rate of false positives, or LC-MS/MS confirmatory testing, which is highly specialised and significantly more expensive.
Randox Nitazene test is the world’s first immunoassay test for nitazenes in urine. Detecting up to 10 nitazene analogues in under 20 minutes via assay cross-reactivity, with results comparable to confirmatory LC‑MS/MS testing. Randox’s rapid Nitazenes test provides a fully automated process via the Evidence MultiSTAT analyser, drastically improving the synthetic opioid screening landscape.
How the Randox Nitazenes Test Works
Why Standard Opioid Panels Miss Nitazenes
Most routine opioid immunoassays are designed to detect opioids that resemble morphine, heroin, codeine, or fentanyl. Nitazenes, however, belong to the 2‑benzylbenzimidazole class and look nothing like these drugs at the molecular level.
Because of this structural difference, they do not bind to the antibodies used in standard opioid and synthetic opioid screens, so the test does not register a positive result.
Randox Nitazene test has been specifically designed to test for up to 10 nitazene analogues and is standardised to Isotonitazene, providing a highly sensitive and precise screen for nitazenes.
Nitazene Analogues Detected
