Methodology
Sample Required
Preparation
* No Specific Time of Day: Urine can be collected at any time.
* Sample Volume: Provide at least 10ML of urine.
* Collection Method: A clean-catch midstream urine sample is generally preferred to avoid contamination. For legal or forensic testing, strict chain-of-custody procedures are followed, which includes observed collection to prevent adulteration or substitution of the sample.
* Medications: Inform the collector or your physician about ALL medications (prescription, over-the-counter, supplements) you are currently taking. This information is crucial for interpreting screening results, especially in case of presumptive positives that might be due to cross-reactivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required. The panel detects drug metabolites in urine regardless of food intake.
What is the sample collection procedure?
A clean-catch midstream urine sample of 10 ml is collected in a sterile container. Avoid contamination and provide a full volume for accurate immunoassay screening.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 24–48 hours. Confirmatory testing (if needed) may extend the timeline.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result is a screening indicator and must be confirmed by GC-MS/LC-MS/MS before clinical interpretation. Cross-reactivity with certain medications can cause false positives.
Which medications can interfere with the panel?
Some prescriptions (e.g., certain NSAIDs, antidepressants, or cold medicines) may cause false positives. Always disclose current medications to your physician.
Can stress or lifestyle affect the results?
Stress and lifestyle do not directly alter drug metabolite levels, but hydration status can dilute urine. Adequate sample volume and proper collection technique ensure reliability.
