Drug Toxicology MDMA, with Confirmation, Oral Fluid
Use
This test is designed to detect MDMA in oral fluid using a presumptive (screening) test with reflex to definitive confirmation if the screening result meets or exceeds the cutoff. It identifies recent use of MDMA with high specificity by confirming presumptive positive results.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
Oral fluid has a shorter detection window than urine (detects recent use—typically within 24–50 hours); specimen volume is limited; improper collection (e.g. non‑Quantisal device, food debris, inverted wand) may cause rejection; turnaround time applies from receipt of specimen.
