Cocaine, Urine Screen with Reflex to Quantitation
Ordering Recommendation
Use for general screening in the contexts of compliance and/or abuse. A screen with reflex testing is preferred to rule out cocaine exposure. To follow up a presumptive result, the preferred test is Cocaine Metabolite, Urine, Quantitative (0090359).
New York DOH Approval Status
Specimen Required

Qualitative Enzyme Immunoassay/Quantitative Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry
Performed
Sun-Sat
Reported
1-4 days
Reference Interval
Screen cutoff concentration: 150 ng/mL
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 (ARUP test code 0090359) will be added to confirm result. Additional charges apply.
