About Phencyclidine (PCP) Screen and Confirmation, Urine in Hamilton
Phencyclidine, commonly called PCP, is a synthetic dissociative drug that can be detected in urine after use.
The screen is typically an immunoassay that reacts to PCP or structurally related compounds. Because immunoassays can produce false positives from certain other medications or substances, a reactive screen is generally not considered definitive on its own.
Confirmation is performed with a more specific method, most often gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). These techniques identify PCP by its chemical properties rather than by a single antibody reaction.
Urine is the usual sample because PCP and its metabolites are excreted in urine. Detection windows vary with dose, frequency of use, individual metabolism, and hydration status, so a negative result does not necessarily exclude earlier exposure.
