Ordering Recommendation

Useful for general screening in contexts of compliance and/or abuse. A screen with reflex testing is the preferred method for ruling out drug exposure. This test does not distinguish between the delta-8 and delta-9 forms of THC or their metabolites.

Interpretive Data

Flagging indicates a positive result; not that the result is abnormal.

Presumptive negative results for drug(s) and/or drug metabolite(s) may indicate non-compliance, inappropriate timing of specimen collection relative to drug administration, poor drug absorption, diluted/adulterated urine, or limitations of testing. The concentration at which the screening test can detect a drug or metabolite varies within a drug class.

For medical purposes only; not valid for forensic use.
