Result Interpretation

Negative
 
The specimen was screened by immunoassay at the following
threshold concentrations:
Amphetamines:                  100 ng/gm
Cocaine and Metabolite:      50 ng/gm
Opiates:                                50 ng/gm
Phencyclidine:                      25 ng/gm
Cannabinoids:                       25 ng/gm
 
Positive results are confirmed by Chromatography with Mass
Spectrometry to limit of detection.
 
TAT: 4 - 7 Days
