Comprehensive Drug Testing

NOW YOU'LL KNOW

Most people take prescription medications responsibly; however, an estimated 48 million people have used prescription drugs for non-medical reasons. This represents approximately 20% of the U.S. population¹. The liability issue is tremendous and may damage the lives of employees or patients, your facility's reputation, and revenue.

Now your agency has the opportunity to choose a new testing option from RTL, America's premier drug testing lab. The solution is Comprehensive Drug Testing, detecting a wide-range of prescriptions, illicit drugs, and alcohol in urine. RTL screens and confirms the drugs in the comprehensive panel using the "gold standard" in testing—gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).

Features:

• Detects over 600 brand name prescription drugs, illicit drugs,
  and alcohol (specimen validity included)
• Includes expanded list of opiates/narcotics
• High specificity—GC/MS analysis provides confirmative
  evidence of use
• Highly sensitive—includes quantitative, semi-quantitative,
  or qualitative test result data
• Qualified scientific team and committed support staff
• Secure and reliable toxicology reporting

Benefits:

• Limit workplace liability and employee costs
• Ideal for nursing/physician workplace testing
• Well-suited for treatment admittance and monitoring
• Determine compliance of pain medication patient
• Fast turn-around time from receipt of specimen (48 hours² negative, 72 hours positive)

RTL utilizes the most sophisticated, sensitive, and specific equipment and technology available. Confirmations of all presumptive positive samples are performed from a separate urine aliquot. The Comprehensive Drug Test utilizes an optimal method of extraction and GC/MS analysis for each individual drug.
