This assay provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GS/MS) has been established as the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are indicated.
