About Methaqualone Screen and Confirmation, Urine in Birmingham
The test examines a urine specimen for the presence of methaqualone and its metabolites.
Screening is typically performed first using an immunoassay that reacts to methaqualone-related compounds in the sample. Because immunoassays can produce cross-reactivity with structurally similar substances, a reactive screen is generally not reported as a final positive on its own.
Confirmation uses a chromatographic technique, most often gas chromatography-mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, to separate and identify the drug or its metabolites by their chemical properties. This step distinguishes methaqualone from other compounds that may have triggered the initial screen.
Detection windows depend on the amount and frequency of use, individual metabolism, and hydration status. Methaqualone and its metabolites are eliminated in urine over a period that is usually measured in days after the most recent exposure, though this varies between individuals.
