About Methadone Screen and Confirmation, Urine in Maricopa
This two-step approach is used when a preliminary result needs to be verified before it is considered definitive.
The screen is typically an immunoassay, a technique that uses antibodies to detect methadone-related compounds. Because immunoassays can react to structurally similar substances, a reactive screen is not by itself proof of methadone use.
Confirmation is performed with a chromatographic method such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. These techniques separate and identify the drug and its metabolite, EDDP, with high specificity.
Results are reported as negative or, when confirmed, as positive with the detected substances. The testing laboratory may apply a cutoff concentration, below which a result is reported as negative. Turnaround is generally one to three business days, depending on the laboratory.
