Determination of narcotic and psychoactive substances in urine (mephedrone, amphetamine, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, opiates, cannabinoids, cocaine and their metabolites) (chromatography)
OLYMP CDL laboratory performs high-precision screening of urine for narcotic and psychoactive substances (drug test) using one of the most modern and reliable methods - liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detector (LC-MS) with ion trap. This method ensures the most complete and reliable detection of traces of various substances, even at minimal concentrations.
Determinable substances include:
- Stimulants: mephedrone, amphetamine, methamphetamine, MDMA (Ecstasy)
- Opiates: morphine, heroin, codeine, methadone, oxycodone
- Cannabinoids: Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and its metabolites
- Benzodiazepines: diazepam, alprazolam, phenazepam, etc.
- Cocaine and its metabolites (benzoylecgonine)
- Synthetic psychoactive substances (SPS) and new psychoactive substances (NPS), etc.
Advantages of the LC-MS method with ion trap:
- High sensitivity and specificity: allows the detection of traces of substances even after a considerable time after use.
- Wide spectrum of test: the method covers more than 100 different substances and their metabolites.
- Minimal risk of false positives: in contrast to rapid tests, which may react to similar compounds.
