Synthetic Opioids, Screen With Reflexed Confirmation, Urine
Use
Detect use of synthetic opioid drugs
Special Instructions
This test includes an initial screening followed by reflex testing to confirm any presumptive positives using mass spectrometry. The test is performed on urine samples to ensure accurate detection of synthetic opioids and their metabolites. Clinical coordination may be required to ensure timely collection and submission of specimens.
Limitations
The test is specifically designed for synthetic opioids and may not detect other non-synthetic drugs of abuse. False positives or negatives can occur due to interference or cross-reactivity with other substances. The test is not FDA approved, which means it should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings and other laboratory results. It is important to consider non-pharmacological factors, such as hydration status, when interpreting results.
