Detecting drug abuse involving amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, opiates, and phencyclidine
This test is intended to be used in a setting where the test results can be used definitively to make a diagnosis.
Test Id | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
---|---|---|---|
AMPHU | Amphetamines Confirmation, U | Yes | No |
COKEU | Cocaine and metabolite Conf, U | Yes | No |
OPATU | Opiate Confirmation, U | Yes | No |
PCPU | Phencyclidine Confirmation, U | Yes | No |
THCU | Carboxy-THC Confirmation, U | Yes | No |
Testing begins with immunoassay screen. If cocaine and metabolites, phencyclidine, or tetrahydrocannabinol metabolite screen is positive, then the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) confirmation with quantification will be performed at an additional charge. Amphetamines and opiates that screen positive will be quantified with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) at an additional charge.

Detecting drug abuse involving amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, opiates, and phencyclidine
This 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. If cocaine and metabolites, phencyclidine, or tetrahydrocannabinol metabolite screen is positive, then the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) confirmation with quantification will be performed at an additional charge. Amphetamines and opiates that screen positive will be quantified with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) at an additional charge.
This assay was designed to screen by immunoassay and confirm by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the following drugs:
-Amphetamines
-Cocaine
-Opiates
-Phencyclidine
-Tetrahydrocannabinol
This assay represents the coupling of an immunoassay screen with an automatic confirmation of all positive results by the definitive assay available and described in each individual reflex test (eg, AMPHU / Amphetamines Confirmation, Urine). All positive screening results are confirmed by GC-MS or LC-MS/MS, and quantitated, before a positive result is reported.
Negative
Screening cutoff concentrations
Amphetamines: 500 ng/mL
Cocaine (benzoylecgonine-cocaine metabolite): 150 ng/mL
Opiates: 300 ng/mL
Phencyclidine: 25 ng/mL
Tetrahydrocannabinol carboxylic acid: 50 ng/mL
This report is intended for use in clinical monitoring or management of patients. It is not intended for use in employment-related testing.
A positive result indicates that the patient has used the drugs detected in the recent past. See individual tests (eg, AMPHU / Amphetamines Confirmation, Urine) for more information.

Not intended for use in employment-related testing.
The test does not screen for drug classes other than those listed above. More comprehensive screening is available using DSS / Drug Screen, Prescription/OTC, Serum or PDSU / Drug Screen, Prescription/OTC, Urine.

The amphetamines, cocaine, 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.(Package inserts: Roche Amphetamines 09/2018, Cannabinoids 03/2014, Cocaine 11/2017, Opiates 11/2017, Phencyclidine reagents 11/2017, Roche Diagnostic Corp, Indianapolis, IN)
