Drug Profile, Expanded Targeted Panel by LC-MS/MS, Urine
Also known as: COMPDRUGUR
Use
This qualitative drug panel detects 127 drugs and drug metabolites using LC-MS/MS. It is used to detect drug exposure from a targeted list of prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, and illicit drugs. The absence of expected drugs or metabolites may indicate non-compliance, inappropriate timing of specimen collection, poor drug absorption, or diluted/adulterated urine. This test is not recommended for determining medication compliance or assessing undisclosed drug use in the context of pain management, substance use disorder treatment, or other pharmacotherapies involving controlled substances. This assay is for medical purposes only and is not valid for forensic use.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The concentration at which the test can detect a drug or metabolite varies within a drug class. The concentration value must be greater than or equal to the cutoff to be reported as positive. Testing may have limitations due to non-compliance, inappropriate timing, poor drug absorption, or urine dilution/adulteration.
