What are 1-Panel Dip Cards?
1-Panel Dip Card means the dip card is capable of detecting only one drug or abused substance. It is also called as Single Panel testing since it is very accurate and specific in screening for one illicit drug. Hence the procedure and analysing the result is very simple, clear and without confusion. The time taken to conduct the test is also very less and the device is very simple and does not require any associated instrument to detect the drug.
1-Panel Dip Card is very much useful in identifying glucose, haemoglobin, ketones, nitrates and protein in the urine specimen. Thereby it is used to diagnose health complications and various diseases by medical professionals also.
How 1-Panel Dip Cards Work
Generally in a 1-Panel Dip Card when a fresh sample of urine is applied over a dip stick it reacts with the chemicals smeared over the dip stick and changes colour. By analysing the colour change the inference is made.
Procedure for using 1-Panel Dip Card:
Before collecting the urine specimen the hands should be washed clean and dried or hand gloves can be used. Then the urine is collected in the specimen cup up to the level marked. The lid should be tightly sealed and the container should be gently shaken. Next the 1-Panel Dip Card is gently immersed inside the urine until all the squares are completely covered. After the dip card is fully saturated slowly remove it along the sides of the container. Care should be taken to see to that the urine does not drip down. 1-Panel Dip Card should be kept in horizontal position so that the chemicals do not move from one square to another.
After 2 minutes the chemicals in the urine must have finished reacting in the test squares. When the reaction is over the test squares will change the colour and it is compared with the standard colour chart to know the presence or absence of the specific drug one is testing for. After 5 minutes the results will become invalid because when the urine is exposed for a longer period of time, a False Positive may occur.
1-Panel Dip Card a colour change of green indicates the absence of Protein and blue colour denotes the presence of Protein. White colour indicates the absence of nitrite and pink shows the presence of nitrite. Likewise the change in colour will help us to detect the particular drug.

If two coloured lines appear, one in the control region and one in the testing region then the result is Negative indicating that the traces of the screened drug is absent or negligibly less.
