Ordering Recommendation
Useful for general screening in contexts of compliance and/or abuse. For follow-up testing of a presumptive result, confirmatory testing by mass spectrometry is recommended. For automatic reflex testing on all presumptive positives, Opiates, Urine Screen with Reflex to Quantitation (2005093) is recommended.

Specimen Required
Random urine.
Transfer 4 mL urine with no additives or preservatives to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. (Min: 2 mL)
Refrigerated.
Specimens exposed to repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Ambient: 1 week; Refrigerated: 1 month; Frozen: 1 month
Reference Interval
Effective May 16, 2011
Cutoff concentration: 300 ng/mL
Interpretive Data
Screening results are obtained by immunoassay. Results obtained by immunoassay are not confirmed unless confirmation testing is specifically requested.
The absence of expected 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. The concentration value must be greater than or equal to the cutoff to be reported as positive. Interpretive questions should be directed to the laboratory.
