Beschreibung
The Benzodiazepine (BZO) drug test is a rapid urine test used for indicative classification within a toxicological screening. It provides an indication of the possible presence of benzodiazepines in urine. Results are usually readable after 3–5 minutes.
- Indicative detection of benzodiazepines in urine (BZO)
- Results in 3–5 minutes (read no later than 10 minutes)
- Easy to use without a laboratory – shipping from Switzerland
Note: Indicative screening only. Not intended for medical diagnosis or legal purposes.
How to use – step by step
- Collect a urine sample in a clean container.
- Dip the test strip up to the marked line for 10–15 seconds.
- Remove the strip and place it flat on a dry surface.
- Read the result after 3–5 minutes.
Result interpretation
Negative: Two lines visible (C + T) → no indication above the cut-off value. A faint line counts as negative.
Positive: Only control line (C) visible → indication of benzodiazepine metabolites.
Invalid: No control line → test invalid, please repeat.

Which benzodiazepines does the test detect?
Benzodiazepines are a group of active substances comprising numerous compounds. Rapid tests may react differently depending on the substance and its metabolites.
| Active substance | Typical use | Detectability in urine* |
|---|---|---|
| Diazepam | Anxiety, muscle spasms, sedation | up to ~10 days |
| Lorazepam | Anxiety disorders, sedation | ~3–5 days |
| Alprazolam | Panic disorders | ~3–5 days |
| Oxazepam | Anxiety, sleep disorders | ~2–4 days |
| Clonazepam | Epilepsy, anxiety disorders | ~5–10 days |
| Temazepam | Sleep disorders | ~2–5 days |
*Detection times are approximate and may vary depending on dosage, duration of use, and individual factors.
What factors influence detectability?
- Dosage and duration of use
- Type of benzodiazepine (short- or long-acting)
- Metabolism and body weight
- Liver and kidney function
- Fluid intake and urine concentration
- Type of drug test
Detection times can vary significantly between individuals and depend on multiple biological and technical factors.
Why a specific benzodiazepine test is necessary
Benzodiazepines do not belong to the group of opiates or opioids. Standard opiate drug tests generally do not detect benzodiazepines. A specific BZO test is therefore required for reliable detection.

Detectability in urine
Detection time varies depending on the substance, dosage, duration of use, and metabolism. Depending on the substance, benzodiazepines may be detectable in urine for several days.
