Methodology

Homogeneous competitive enzyme immunoassay method using G6PDH-labeling

Reported

Stat 2 hours, Routine 4 hours

Additional Information

Cocaine use is measured as the benzoylecgonine metabolite. A concentration < 300 µg/L is considered negative by this test. A positive result is ≥ 300 µg/L and is consistent with possible presence of this metabolite. This immunoassay is only a screening test and is not definitive. Results cannot be used for medico-legal purposes.

Benzoylecgonine can be detected within 1-3 days after use and can be detected as long as 22 days after use. (From: Verstraete AG. Detection Times of Drugs of Abuse in Blood, Urine and Oral Fluid. Ther Drug Monit, 26(2) April 2004, 200-205)

False positive results may occur due to other cross reacting substances, however, positive results are NOT routinely confirmed by a second method. If confirmation of the test result is required, it is the responsibility of the physician to separately order a specific confirmatory test for the drug identified.

Samples are held for 7 days. Contact laboratory at x 31667 to request confirmatory testing. Confirmation test code: COCQNT
