Screening

We use Immunoassay, Emit II Plus and DRI for screening of urine for drugs of abuse.
1. Point of Care:
A rapid screening test for the simultaneous, qualitative detection of multiple drugs and drug metabolites in urine.
A more specific alternative chemical method must be used in order to obtain confirmed analytical results.
The EMIT can test for any combination of the following drugs:-
AMP/BRB/BUP/BZO/COC/THC/MTD/mAMP/MDMA/MOP/OPI/OXY/PCP/PPX

2. Instrumentation:
We use DRI when testing for Oxycodone and Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG).
We use Emit II Plus when screening for all other analytes.

Oxycodone 100 ng/mL IA (DRI)
Phencyclidine (PCP) 25 ng/mL IA (Emit II Plus)
Propoxyphene (PPX) 300 ng/mL IA (Emit II Plus)
THC (cannabinoids) 50 ng/mL IA (Emit II Plus)
6AM Heroin Metabolite 10 ng/mL IA (Emit II Plus)

4. Validity testing:

Adulterated specimen: A urine specimen containing a substance that is not a normal constituent of normal physiological concentration.

Dilute specimen: A urine specimen with creatinine value that is lower than
expected for human urine.

Creatinine is a normal constituent in urine. Normal human urine creatinine concentrations are at or above 21 mg/dL.

pH of human urine is usually near neutral (pH 7), although some biomedical conditions affect urine pH. HHS set the cutoffs for pH within a range of approximately 4 to 9.
