Test ID CDAU5 Drug Abuse Survey with Confirmation, Panel 5, Random, Urine
Ordering Guidance
For situations where chain of custody is required, a Chain-of-Custody Kit (T282) is available. For chain-of-custody testing, order CDA5X / Drug Abuse Survey with Confirmation, Panel 5, Chain of Custody, Urine.
Additional Testing Requirements
If urine creatinine is required or adulteration of the sample is suspected, the following test should be requested, ADULT / Adulterants Survey, Urine.
Specimen Required
Supplies: Urine Container, 60 mL (T313)
Collection Container/Tube: Plastic urine container
Submission Container/Tube: Plastic, 60-mL urine bottle
Specimen Volume: 30 mL
Collection Instructions:
1. Collect a random urine specimen.
2. Submit 30 mL in 1 plastic bottle.
3. No preservative.
Additional Information:
1. No specimen substitutions.
2. Additional drug panels and specific requests are available. Call 800-533-1710 or 507-266-5700.
3. Submitting less than 30 mL will compromise our ability to perform all necessary testing.

Useful For
Detecting drug abuse involving amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, opiates, and phencyclidine
This test is intended to be used in a setting where the test results can be used definitively to make a diagnosis.
Reflex Tests
Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
---|---|---|---|
AMPHU | Amphetamines Confirmation, U | Yes | No |
COKEU | Cocaine and metabolite Conf, U | Yes | No |
OPATU | Opiate Confirmation, U | Yes | No |
PCPU | Phencyclidine Confirmation, U | Yes | No |
THCU | Carboxy-THC Confirmation, U | Yes | No |
Testing Algorithm
Testing begins with immunoassay screen. If cocaine and metabolites, phencyclidine, or tetrahydrocannabinol metabolite screen is positive, then the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) confirmation with quantification will be performed at an additional charge. Amphetamines and opiates that screen positive will be quantified with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) at an additional charge.

Clinical Information
This assay was designed to screen by immunoassay and confirm by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the following drugs:
-Amphetamines
-Cocaine
-Opiates
-Phencyclidine
-Tetrahydrocannabinol
This assay represents the coupling of an immunoassay screen with an automatic confirmation of all positive results by the definitive assay available and described in each individual reflex test (eg, AMPHU / Amphetamines Confirmation, Urine). All positive screening results are confirmed by GC-MS or LC-MS/MS, and quantitated, before a positive result is reported.
Reference Values
Negative
Screening cutoff concentrations
Amphetamines: 500 ng/mL
Cocaine (benzoylecgonine-cocaine metabolite): 150 ng/mL
Opiates: 300 ng/mL
Phencyclidine: 25 ng/mL
Tetrahydrocannabinol carboxylic acid: 50 ng/mL
