Pentazocine
This synthetic opioid is a controlled drug (CD) but is infrequently abused. It will not be detected by the routine opiate immunoassay
screening procedure. However, if analysis of this drug is requested it can easily be detected by one of the chromatographic confirmation procedures.
Penthidine
This synthetic opioid is a controlled
screening procedure. However, if analysis of this drug is requested, it can easily be detected by one of the chromatographic confirmatory procedures.
Phencyclidine (”Angel Dust”, PCP)
Currently, there is no evidence for any significant availability or abuse of this drug in the US. It may be possible to detect the
presence of this drug in urine, but this is uncertain. The Laboratory should be contacted directly if this drug is suspected.
Tests for the dilution of urine
The Laboratory will determine the creatinine concentration of all urine specimens submitted for screening to detect abnormally dilute specimens, i.e. those with creatinine
