Barbiturates, Urine Screen with Reflex to Quantitation
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 barbiturate exposure. For follow-up testing of a presumptive result, Barbiturates, Urine Quantitative (2012213) is preferred.

Interpretive Data
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. Specimens for which drugs or drug classes are detected by the screen are reflexed to a second, more specific technology (GC/MS and/or LC-MS/MS). 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.

Note
If the specimen screens positive, then Confirmation/Quantitation by GC-MS and/or LC-MS/MS (ARUP test code 2012213) will be added to confirm result. Additional charges apply.
