Additional Information

Urine drug testing has been performed using LC-MS/MS and provides specific drug identification. Results are for clinical use only.

Limits of detection are lower than those specified in AS/NZS 4308:2008 which governs drug testing for medico-legal, workplace or court directed purposes.

Routine Screen - these drugs are routinely reported. 

Full Screen - drugs screened for but not reported unless requested. Raw data is stored therefore drugs in the Full screen list can be reported at a later date.

Minimum Volume

2 mL
