About this test

Used for employment, licensing and clinical purposes. Collection is witnessed and chain-of-custody documented at the centre, because an unsupervised sample cannot support the conclusion the test is usually being asked for. A positive screen is a screen, not a confirmation.

What it measures

  • Opiates, cannabinoids and cocaine metabolites
  • Amphetamines and methamphetamine
  • Benzodiazepines and barbiturates

A note on results. A single test is one part of a clinical picture, not a diagnosis. Discuss your report with a qualified doctor, who will read it alongside your history and examination.
