Introduction

The multi-drug screen cup is an essential tool used in medical diagnostics, workplace compliance, and law enforcement to detect the presence of various drugs within a biological specimen. The cup is designed to provide rapid, reliable, and accurate results for multiple substances simultaneously.

Multi-Drug Screen Cup Overview

A multi-drug screen cup is a self-contained, rapid qualitative immunoassay for the detection of multiple drugs and their metabolites in human urine. The screening process typically involves the use of antibodies specific to the drugs of interest and utilizes a competitive binding process to display results.

Targeted Drugs

The multi-drug screen cup can test for a variety of drugs, typically including but not limited to:

  • Amphetamines (AMP): Screening typically detects amphetamines at a cutoff concentration of 1000 ng/mL.
  • Cocaine Metabolite (COC): Cocaine detection occurs with a cutoff concentration of 300 ng/mL.
  • Marijuana Metabolite (THC): THC presence is determined at a cutoff concentration of 50 ng/mL.
  • Opiates (OPI): Opiates are detectable at a cutoff level of 2000 ng/mL.
  • Phencyclidine (PCP): Screened at a cutoff concentration of 25 ng/mL.
  • Methamphetamines (mAMP): Detectable at a cutoff of 1000 ng/mL.
  • Benzodiazepines (BZO): Detection occurs with a cutoff concentration of 300 ng/mL.
  • Barbiturates (BAR): Detected at a cutoff level of 300 ng/mL.
  • Methadone (MTD): Screened at a cutoff concentration of 300 ng/mL.
  • Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCA): Typically has a cutoff concentration of 1000 ng/mL.

Interpretation of Results

The results from a multi-drug screen cup are based on the presence or absence of colored lines for each specific drug tested. The presence of a test line along with a control line indicates a negative result, while the absence of the test line, with a control line present, is indicative of a presumptive positive result.

It is important for clinical interpretation to be conducted by a qualified healthcare professional, particularly in the case of positive results, which may require confirmatory testing for verification.
