Detecting drug abuse involving amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, opiates, and phencyclidine
This chain-of-custody test is intended to be used in a setting where the test results can be used definitively to make a diagnosis.

Testing begins with immunoassay screen. Positives are confirmed and quantitated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) at an additional charge.
Adulterants testing will be performed on all chain of custody urine samples as per regulatory requirements.

Detecting drug abuse involving amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, opiates, and phencyclidine
This chain-of-custody test is intended to be used in a setting where the test results can be used definitively to make a diagnosis.
Testing begins with immunoassay screen. Positives are confirmed and quantitated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) at an additional charge.
Adulterants testing will be performed on all chain of custody urine samples as per regulatory requirements.
This assay was designed to screen for and confirm by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) the following drugs:
-Amphetamines
-Cocaine
-Opiates
-Phencyclidine
-Tetrahydrocannabinol
Chain of custody is a record of the disposition of a specimen to document who collected it, who handled it, and who performed the analysis. When a specimen is submitted in this manner, analysis will be performed in such a way that it will withstand regular court scrutiny. Chain of custody is required whenever the results of testing could be used in a court of law. Its purpose is to protect the rights of the individual contributing the specimen by demonstrating that it was under the control of personnel involved with testing the specimen at all times; this control implies that the opportunity for specimen tampering would be limited.
