Phencyclidine, Urine Screen with Reflex to Quantitation
Also known as: PCP RFX U
Use
This test is useful for general screening in contexts of compliance and/or abuse. It is a screen with reflex testing, which is the preferred method for ruling out PCP exposure. The test screens for Phencyclidine (PCP) exposure in urine samples, providing a quick indication of whether the substance is present. If the initial screen indicates a possible presence of PCP, the test proceeds to a more specific quantitation via LC-MS/MS for confirmation.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The test is for medical purposes only and not valid for forensic use. Presumptive negative results for drug(s) and/or drug metabolite(s) may indicate non-compliance, inappropriate timing of specimen collection relative to drug administration, poor drug absorption, diluted/adulterated urine, or limitations of testing. The concentration at which the screening test can detect a drug or metabolite varies within a drug class.
