Toxicology
We provide the most accurate testing that is available.
Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) for screening and highly sensitive Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC/MS/MS) for confirmation of results to get you the facts you need.
Why Conduct A Drug Screen?
Subjective Screening for Abuse and Diversion is Ineffective:
Psychological screening fails to identify abusers.
Physician’s clinical acumen fails to identify diverters.
Diverters and addicts actively alter test results.
Point of Care Test and Immunoassay Alone are Inadequate:
POCT and IA identify drug class only, not the drug.
Screening cut off limits may miss positive results.
Patient Physiologic/Disease States Interfere with POCT/IA:
Diabetes Mellitus
Liver Disease
Toxin Ingestion
Why Drug Confirmation?
So you can identify and avoid substance misuse, abuse and diversion.
Ensure the donor is taking the medicine you prescribed.
Ensure the donor is not using illicit or non-prescribed drugs that put safety at risk while taking your prescription.
As part of a larger Adherence Monitoring or Prescription Monitoring program.
Satisfy legal and regulatory requirements.
Adhere to current “standards of care” for people receiving scheduled medications.
Multiple Substances can Interfere with POCT and IA.
Universal Screening with Confirmation is Recommended.
POCT and IA require Confirmation Testing for Best Patient and Physician Treatment Outcomes.
Urine Drug tESTING
It is the long-standing, preferred method of collection for drug screening and testing. The utilization of urine to detect drugs and drug classes has been around for decades with numerous published articles on the topic and methodology.Another option for specimen collection.
Detection times in urine are typically 1-2 days longer than blood/oral fluid detection periods. Some drug classes remain more detectable in urine.
oRAL FLUID TESTING
Our oral fluid drug testing provides a simple, clean, accurate, and efficient way of drug testing. Test can be performed anywhere with no special facilities needed. Our procedure is:
Non-invasive
Fast and efficient in 3-5 minutes
Hassle-free
Safe and observed
