Types of Testing:
Qualitative Testing – The EIA (Enzyme ImmunoAssay) provides presumptive testing for drug groups. Often called “screening,” results are qualitative and result as positive or negative. Results from this method are presumptive and should never be considered a final result without LC/MS confirmation testing.
Quantitative Testing – The LC/MS (Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry) provides confirmatory testing for a specific drug. This technique relies on the principles of LC/MS to separate mixtures with multiple components and provide molecular identity of individual components with high specificity and detection. Results are numerical and identify the exact drug and amount of drug detected in the urine sample.
