Interpretation Guide: Broad Spectrum Urine Toxicology Screen January 2016

The Broad Spectrum Urine Toxicology Screen provided by Dynacare incorporates liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the targeted identification of sixty‐three (63) different drugs, drug metabolites and preparation ingredients. All urine specimens undergo enzymatic hydrolysis prior to testing, to yield additional free/unconjugated drug and thereby improve detection.

We note that the ability to detect any drug or metabolite in urine is dependent on many factors, including:  the dose ingested  the analytical method used  the positive/negative cut‐off concentration selected  the individual’s metabolic variability - genetic factors, age, gender, etc.  the individual’s physical condition – most notably kidney and liver disease  the amount of fluid ingested  the method and frequency of dosing  the time the drug was ingested relative to the time the urine sample was collected

Dynacare Broad Spectrum Urine Toxicology screen is targeted for the specific drug, drug metabolite and preparation ingredients listed below. It will not identify every licit and/or illicit drug that might be in a urine sample. If the drug of interest is not listed in the table below it will not be detected by this screen, at this time.

If a listed analyte was detected in the urine and its concentration exceeded its defined positive/negative cut-off concentration, the specimen will be reported positive for that specific analyte.

A positive result indicates that the analyte is present in the patient’s urine at a minimum concentration above its defined screening threshold. A positive result does not indicate the analytes route of administration, ingested dose, concentration in the urine or the patient’s level of intoxication.

A negative result may not necessarily mean that the urine is drug free. Negative results can obtained when the drug is present in the urine, but at a concentration that is below the positive/negative cut-off threshold. Negative results may also be obtained if the specific analyte of interest is not included in Dynacare Broad Spectrum Urine Toxicology screen.

We suggest you review the Ontario Association of Medical Laboratories (OAML) guideline entitled “Guidelines for Ordering Urine Testing for Drugs‐of‐Abuse: Targeted and Screening Tests (CLP013)”, found at www.OAML.com. Contact Dynacare if additional information is required.
