What Is Kratom?
Decades ago, the leaves from the plant Mitragyna speciosa has been used as a natural alternative to pain reliever in the Asian region.
However, due to its addictive qualities and adverse side effects, kratom is now considered an emerging drug of abuse by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). It comes in the form of:
- Fine powder
- Capsule
- Pill
- Extract
- Dried leaves for brewing
How to Use a Drug Test Strip:
- Remove the kratom test kit from its sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. For best results, perform the assay within an hour.
- Next, hold the strip by the end, where you can see the product name. To avoid contamination, do not touch the strip membrane.
- Then, holding the strip vertically, dip the test strip in the urine specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not immerse above the maximum line (MAX) on the test strip. That’s about 1/5th of the way up the strip.
- After the drug test has finished, remove the strip 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.
How to Read This Drug Test Kit:
Positive
Only one colored band appears, in the control region ©. No apparent colored band appears in the test region (T)
Negative
Two colored bands appear on the membrane. One brand appears in the control regions © and another band appears in the test region (T).
Invalid
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.
Why Test for Kratom?
Although it is not yet listed as a controlled substance, the US Drug Enforcement Administration considers it as an emerging drug of abuse. Recently, several states have put into motion regulations in order to ban it.
Some who have used the drug admitted to using it as a substitute for another drug. Excessive use of this drug will give the user opioid-like side-effects. This is one of the many reasons why many have decided to incorporate kratom urine tests into their drug screening program.

An Eye-opening Study
Recently, a study in the United States reports a marked increase in calls to poison control centers due to kratom exposure. The study states:
Overall, nearly one third (32%) of the calls resulted in admission to a healthcare facility. On the other hand, 52% resulted in serious medical outcomes, especially among teenagers and adults.
Why People Use Kratom
Historically, kratom uses in Southeast Asia for hundreds of years as a pain-relieving alternative. Today, it is accessible to the public – commonly advertised as an herbal supplement with no side effects.
Unfortunately, the use of the drug has been known to deliver similar effects to that of opioid use. Though many kratom users today have self-medicated using this drug on their own, more studies need to take place before medical applications are made.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do Kratom Urine Test Strips Work?
12 Panel Now’s Kratom urine test strips use the lateral flow assay (LFA) technology.
This paper-based platform has the following qualities:
- detects substances in complex mixtures like urine
- made up of membranes infused with specific chemicals that help pinpoint the presence of specific drugs in urine
All you need to do is to dip the drug test strip into the urine, then wait for a few minutes. This gives the strip enough time to absorb the urine. Then, read the results.
Does Kratom Show up in a Urine Test?
Most standard drug tests from 12 Panel now will not normally detect kratom. However, a test that is designed to specifically detect kratom will. For instance. the kratom urine test strip and the 16 Panel Drug Test detect Kratom and its metabolites.
How Much Does a Kratom Drug Test Cost?
12 Panel Now provides Kratom urine tests for $2.49 when you buy five strips. However, that price can go down to $1.79 each (plus free shipping) when purchasing a thousand strips.

If submitting a urine drug screen that is designed to detect Mitragynine, it is possible that one may fail a drug screen – especially if the substance exceeds the cutoff level of 1 ng/ml LC-MS/MS. Traces of kratom alkaloids can still be present in the body after 7 days.
