Development and Validation of a High-sensitivity Rapid Xylazine Dipstick for Clinical Urine Testing
When used with 10 ng/mL cutoff, the rapid xylazine dipstick demonstrates high clinical sensitivity and clinical specificity in urine samples, compared with gold standard mass spectrometry methods. This novel test has the potential to enable informed clinical decisions in cases with suspected xylazine exposure.
