Home-Based Steroid Test Kit-Now Available In The Market

SteroidConfirm™, a new home-based steroid test kit, is the new tool that can help parents and athlete coaches to fight steroid abuse. This home-based steroid test kit is developed by San Diego, and the first home-based test kit sold in the market.

SteroidConfirm can detect up to 17 different types of performance-enhancing agents. Using Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry, the urine-based product can accurately quantify substances well below regular cut-off levels. SteroidConfirm is designed specifically for consumer use, and includes a patented syringe within a sealable tube to minimize accidental spills or transport damage. This practical design provides ample volume of specimen for the laboratory and is less bulky than transport cups.

Steroid testing is becoming of even greater interest to parents and schools, given the wide media coverage of well-known and well-liked professional athletes, who are suspected of using performance-enhancing drugs.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) estimates that more than a half million 8th and 10th grade students are now using these dangerous drugs, and increasing numbers of high school seniors don’t believe steroids are risky. Another study indicated that 1,084,000 Americans, or 0.5 percent of the adult population, said that they had used anabolic steroids.

According to the Monitoring the Future Survey (MTF) released by the Department of Health and Human Services steroid abuse is especially among male 12th graders.

SteroidConfirm also provides a Medical Review Officer report and a Chain of Custody form for use by organizations who regularly test their employees or schools who screen their student athletes.

The home-based steroid test kit also includes a Medical Review Officer Report, where the parent has the opportunity to consult a Doctor regarding test results. The test results are available through a secure, online portal, with the information being 100 percent confidential; no personal information is required.
