<p>A diagnostic test paper detects abuse-type drugs in a test specimen of a biological fluid. A particular method of making the diagnostic test paper includes impregnating a bibulous carrier material (10) with the dry residue of a reagent (14, 16) reactive to abuse-type drugs. A particular method is used for screening a biological fluid to determine the presence of abuse-type drugs therein. A test specimen applying area (12) is located on the bibulous carrier material (10) adjacent one side of a concentrated reagent zone (14) having a first color. A particular method of application and a specific syringe device are used to apply a test specimen that has been prepared under very precise conditions. The test specimen moves from the specimen applying area (12) into the concentrated reagent zone (14) to produce the specific results of detecting the presence of abuse-type drugs therein. A novel solvent composition is used to prepare the test specimen applied to the bibulous carrier material of the invention.</p> |
