Order Drug TestingDrug testing, also called a drug screen, is a laboratory analysis used to detect the presence of specific substances or their metabolic byproducts in a biological sample. It is a broad category rather than a single test, and the panel performed depends on the purpose of the screening and the substances of interest.
About Drug Testing in Fairfield
A drug screen typically examines urine, though blood, saliva, and hair may also be used depending on the panel and the laboratory's methods.
Most drug screens use immunoassay as an initial method, which reacts to drug classes such as amphetamines, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine metabolites, opiates, and others. A reactive immunoassay result is generally considered presumptive and is often confirmed with a more specific technique such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
Results are reported as negative, presumptive positive, or confirmed positive, depending on the testing algorithm used. Detection windows vary by substance, frequency of use, and sample type; for example, metabolites of some drugs remain detectable in urine for days, while chronic heavy use of certain substances may be detectable for longer.
Preparation instructions come from the laboratory performing the test. Some panels require disclosure of medications and supplements because certain prescriptions can cross-react with screening assays. Collection procedures may include identity verification and temperature checks on urine samples to preserve specimen integrity.
