What is 6-Monoacetylmorphine 6-MAM?

6 MAM or 6-acetylmorphine is one of three metabolites of heroin. By itself, heroin is difficult to detect. This is mainly due to heroin having such a short half-life.  In fact, the half-life is only around 30 minutes. Once heroin is metabolized into 6 MAM, traces of it would be more likely to be detected. 6 MAM has a half-life of 6-25 minutes. It can stay in the body for up to 2 to 24 hours. The presence of 6 MAM in the body is a definite sign that the person has used heroin.

Why Use a 6 MAM Drug Test?

Heroin is a highly addictive drug with no known medical use. It is a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance and is illegal in the US. It produces euphoria, a feeling of relaxation and drowsiness, causing many to crave it. Since heroin by itself is hard to detect in the body, medical professionals instead look for its longer-staying metabolite, the 6-MAM or 6-monoacetylmorphine. The 6 MAM drug test, thus, is useful for detecting heroin abuse.

1. Remove the drug test from its sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. For best results, perform the assay within an hour.
2. Next, hold the dip test by the end, where you can see the product name. To avoid contamination, do not touch the test membrane.
3. Then, holding the test vertically, dip the test in the urine specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not immerse above the maximum line (MAX) on the test. That’s about 1/5th of the way up the test.
4. After the drug test has finished, remove the test from the specimen and place it on a non-absorbent flat surface. Start the timer and wait for the colored band(s) to appear. Read the result at 5 minutes. Do not interpret it after 10 minutes.

Only one colored band appears, in the control region (C). No apparent colored band appears in the test region (T)Two colored bands appear on the membrane. One brand appears in the control regions (C) and another band appears in the test region (T).Control band fails to appear. Results from any test which has not produced a control band at the specified read time must be discarded. Please review the procedure and repeat with a new test. If the problems persist, discontinue using the kit immediately and contact your local distributor.
