Innovating Science™ Forensic Drug Testing: A Simulated Immunoassay

Description

In this activity, students will perform a simulated immunoassay test on several urine samples for the detection of the cocaine metabolite benzoylecgonine

• Drug testing comes in two forms: Presumptive and Confirmatory.
• Because of the cost associated with confirmatory testing, a presumptive test is often employed first.
• While there are various forms of presumptive drug testing, two of the most common techniques are immunoassay testing and thin-layer chromatography.
• All urine samples and testing reagents are simulated to avoid the potential hazards of actual biological specimens while still providing realistic results.
• Kit contains enough materials for 15 groups.
• Teacher Guide and Student Study Guide copymasters are included.
• Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
