-
Immunoassay reagents intended to perform qualitative analyses on a body fluid sample (typically serum) to determine barbiturates in a short period of time, typically several minutes. Reagents for rapid determination of barbiturates are used in tests intended to monitor drug levels in patients as a result of either an induced therapeutic coma (anesthetic doses) or to diagnose and manage barbiturate intoxication caused by intentional, or less frequently, accidental ingestion, especially in emergency situations.
