Test Details
Methodology
Mass spectrometry (MS)
Result Turnaround Time
3 - 4 days
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Use
Detect and confirm the presence of heroin metabolite (6-acetylmorphine). Note: 6-Acetylmorphine [6-AM] has a short half-life and is further metabolized to morphine. It is most likely to be detected within the first 24 hours following heroin use. Consequently, specimens collected more than 24 hours post dose may test negative for 6-AM.
Special Instructions
This assay is intended for pain management. It is not intended for workplace testing and does not comply with state regulatory workplace testing programs.
