Order Cocaine Metabolite Screen and Confirmation, UrineThe Cocaine Metabolite Screen and Confirmation, Urine is a two-stage laboratory panel designed to detect and verify the presence of cocaine breakdown products in a urine specimen. Because the panel pairs an initial screen with a confirmatory method, it addresses both the need for broad detection and the need for a definitive result.
About Cocaine Metabolite Screen and Confirmation, Urine in Arlington
The panel is built around benzoylecgonine, the primary metabolite that laboratories look for after cocaine use.
The screening stage uses an immunoassay, a technique that relies on antibodies to bind to cocaine metabolites in the sample. If the immunoassay signal crosses a defined threshold, the specimen is considered presumptive positive and moves to the second stage.
The confirmation stage typically employs gas chromatography or liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. This method separates the compounds in the specimen and identifies benzoylecgonine by its mass, which makes the result far more specific than the initial screen alone.
Cocaine itself is cleared from the body relatively quickly, so laboratories target metabolites instead. Benzoylecgonine can remain detectable in urine for a period that varies with dose, frequency of use, individual metabolism, and hydration. A negative screen generally requires no confirmation, while a positive screen is only reported as confirmed after the second method agrees.
