Morphine ELISA kits are designed for the specific detection of morphine in biological samples. Morphine is a compound that is metabolized in humans. It has the chemical formula C17H19NO3. Morphine, the principal alkaloid in opium, is a potent analgesic used to treat severe acute and chronic pain, with a duration of analgesia lasting three to seven hours. Its analgesic effects result from binding to mu-opioid receptors, leading to the inhibition of GABA inhibitory interneurons and subsequent modulation of pain. Long-term use may cause opioid withdrawal symptoms when the dose is reduced. Morphine is detected in individuals who have used or taken the drug.
