Supplies: Urine Tubes, 10 mL (T068)

Collection Container/Tube: Plastic urine container

Submission Container/Tube: Plastic, 10 mL tube

Specimen Volume: 5 mL

Collection Instructions:

1. Collect a random urine specimen.

2. Submit 5 mL in 10 plastic tube.

Secondary ID

615289

Useful For

Detecting drug use involving barbiturates, cocaine, and carboxy-tetrahydrocannabinol

 

This test is not intended for use in employment-related testing.

Testing Algorithm

Testing begins with screening tests for drugs of abuse including barbiturates, cocaine, and tetrahydrocannabinol.

 

Positive results can be confirmed and quantitated by definitive methods, gas chromatography mass spectrometry for barbiturates, cocaine and metabolites and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for tetrahydrocannabinol metabolites, at an additional charge.

Clinical Information

This test uses the simple screening technique that involves immunoassay testing for drugs by class. All positive immunoassay screening results can be confirmed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and quantitated if applicable.

 

This assay was designed to test for the following:

-Barbiturates

-Cocaine

-Carboxy-tetrahydrocannabinol

Method Description

The barbiturate, cocaine metabolite, and tetrahydrocannabinol metabolite assays are based on the kinetic interaction of microparticles in a solution 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: BARB. Roche Diagnostics; V 13.0, 09/2021; THC2.
