Fentanyl Test Strip Training Video

Fentanyl test strips (FTS) are lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay test strips designed to quickly and cheaply test urine for the presence of fentanyl. Harm reduction advocates established that FTS can also be used to test liquid samples for the presence of fentanyl, allowing pre-consumption testing of drug samples to check if fentanyl is present or not.

Please watch CCDPH’s Fentanyl test trip training video to learn how to use this important and potentially life-saving tool:
