Drug Panel 9A, Urine - Screen with Reflex to Confirmation/Quantitation
Also known as: CDASU 9A
Use
The Drug Panel 9A, Urine - Screen with Reflex to Confirmation/Quantitation is used for general screening in contexts of compliance and/or abuse. It employs a screen with reflex testing, which is the preferred method for ruling out drug exposure. However, this test does not distinguish between the delta-8 and delta-9 forms of THC or their metabolites. The screening serves medical purposes but is not valid for forensic use.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
Presumptive negative results may indicate non-compliance, inappropriate timing of specimen collection relative to drug administration, poor drug absorption, diluted/adulterated urine, or limitations of testing technology. The concentration at which the screening test can detect a drug or metabolite varies within a drug class. This test cannot distinguish between prescribed or non-prescribed forms of THC, nor between active or passive usage.
