| Yellow top conical tube (no additive) |
Minimum:
Preferred Minimum: 4 mL urine
Rejection Criteria:
Specimens exposed to repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Analytic Time:
5 days upon receipt at reference laboratory
Reference Range:
Drugs covered: alprazolam, alpha-hydroxyalprazolam, clonazepam,
7-amino-clonazepam, desalkylflurazepam, alpha-hydroxyethylflurazepam,
diazepam, lorazepam, midazolam, nordiazepam, oxazepam, temazepam, and
alpha-hydroxytriazolam. Identification of specific drug(s) taken by
specimen donor is problematic due to common metabolites, some of which
are prescription drugs themselves.
Positive cutoff: 20 ng/mL.
For medical purposes only; not valid for forensic use.
Interpretive Data:
Drugs covered: alprazolam, alpha-hydroxyalprazolam, clonazepam, 7-amino-
clonazepam, desalkylflurazepam, 2-hydroxyethylflurazepam, diazepam,
lorazepam, midazolam, nordiazepam, oxazepam, temazepam, and alpha-
hydroxytriazolam.
Positive cutoff: 20 ng/mL
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 value must be greater than or equal to the cutoff to be reported as positive. Interpretive questions should be directed to the laboratory.
