Test Code CDAU7 Drug Abuse Survey with Confirmation, Panel 9, Random, Urine

Reporting Name

Confirmed Drug Abuse Panel 9, U

Useful For

Detecting drug abuse involving, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, ethanol, methadone, opiates, phencyclidine, and tetrahydrocannabinol

 

This test is intended to be used in a setting where the test results can be used definitively to make a diagnosis.

Performing Laboratory

Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester

Specimen Type

Urine


Ordering Guidance


For situations where chain-of-custody is required, a Chain-of-Custody Kit (T282) is available. For chain-of-custody testing, order CDA7X / Drug Abuse Survey with Confirmation, Panel 9, Chain of Custody, Urine.

Additional Testing Requirements


If urine creatinine is required or adulteration of the sample is suspected, the following test should be requested, ADULT / Adulterants Survey, Urine. For additional information, please refer to ADULT / Adulterants Survey, Urine.

Specimen Required


Supplies: Urine Container, 60 mL (T313)

Collection Container/Tube: Plastic urine container

Submission Container/Tube: Plastic, 60-mL urine bottle

Specimen Volume: 30 mL

Collection Instructions:

1. Collect a random urine specimen.

2. Submit 30 mL in 1 plastic bottle.

3. No preservative.

Additional Information:

1. No specimen substitutions.

2. Additional drug panels and specific requests are available. Call 800-533-1710 or 507-266-5700.

3. Submitting less than 30 mL will compromise our ability to perform all necessary testing.


Specimen Minimum Volume

Testing Algorithm

Testing begins with screening tests for alcohol and drugs of abuse. Positives are confirmed and quantitated by definitive methods (gas chromatography-flame ionization detector for ethanol; gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine and metabolites, methadone, phencyclidine, and tetrahydrocannabinol metabolite) at an additional charge. Amphetamines and opiates that screen positive will be quantified with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry at an additional charge.

Method Description

The amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methadone metabolite, opiates, phencyclidine, and tetrahydrocannabinol metabolite assays are based on the kinetic interaction of microparticles in a solution (KIMS) as measured by changes in light transmission. In the absence of sample drug, soluble drug conjugates bind to antibody-bound microparticles, causing the formation of particle aggregates. As the aggregation reaction proceeds in the absence of sample drug, the absorbance increases. When a urine sample contains the drug in question, this drug competes with the drug derivative conjugate for microparticle-bound antibody. Antibody bound to sample drug is no longer available to promote particle aggregation, and subsequent particle lattice formation is inhibited. The presence of sample drug diminishes the increasing absorbance in proportion to the concentration of drug in the sample. Sample drug content is determined relative to the value obtained for a known cutoff concentration of drug.
