Urine Drug Screen/Confirm

URINE DRUG SCREENING & CONFIRMATION

Our unique value to eacn client is methods to detect all new, emerging drugs.

URINE DRUG TESTING provides objective information to identify the presence or absence of drugs or drug classes in the body and assists in making treatment decisions.

URINE DRUG SCREENING

Specimen Validity Testing - to ensure the sample is consistent with normal human urine and has not been adulterated or substituted; may include pH, specific gravity, oxidants, and creatinine.

Presumptive / Qualitative Drug Testing - to determine the presence or absence of drugs or drug classes in a human sample; results are expressed as negative, positive, or as a numerical result.

URINE DRUG CONFIRMATION

Definitive / Quantitative Drug Testing - to identify specific medications, illicit substances, and metabolites; reports the results of drugs absent or present in concentrations of ng/ml; payment is limited to LC/MS methodology.

COVID

Report results 8 hours after sample extraction.

Testing for COVID has taken center stage in the U.S. laboratory marketplace.

Our solution for COVID ensures your laboratory delivers the highest quality data... has the capacity to process thousands of samples per workday... keeps reportable cost at $10.00 per sample... and avoids potential supply chain issues.

Also available is a Covid, Flu A, and Flu B panel with a reportable cost of $25.00 per sample.

PGx

PGx - Pharmacogenomic Testing for Drug Metabolism

Drug efficacy and toxicity vary substantially across individuals.

Drugs and dosages are typically adjusted by trial and error. The clinical consequences include prolonged time to optimal therapy and/or adverse drug reactions, which account for the injury or death of more than 770,000 people each year.

PGx (Pharmacogenomic testing) presents a solution to reduce health care costs associated with ADRs and poor response to pharmacotherapy. The patient’s genetic makeup in combination with other clinical information creates a personalized medication regimen with greater efficacy and safety. Most prescribed medications have genetic data to support appropriate dosing or selection, as these analyses are routinely performed during drug development.

CGx

CGx - Cancer Genomics - Inherited (Hereditary) Cancer

CGX – Cancer Genomics - Inherited (Hereditary) Cancer Testing provides physicians the ability to refine a patient’s cancer risk through an analysis of inherited mutations.

Approximately 5 to 10 percent of cancers are thought to be caused by mutations in genes associated with hereditary cancer syndromes. Providing pertinent information about cancer risk is important to a patient’s understanding and ability to make informed decisions regarding their healthcare.

General Health

GENERAL HEALTH STATUS

As payers transition to payments based on outcomes or episodes of care, it is critically important to document scientific evidence of improved patient outcomes in the clinical record.

CLINICAL LABORATORY DATA FORMS THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS UPON WHICH MEDICAL DECISIONS ARE MADE AND MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS IS ESTABLISHED.

Clinical laboratory data is essential to:

* formulate and confirm clinical diagnoses

* monitor metabolic and organ function

* monitor therapeutic drug levels

* monitor results of medical treatment
