Detecting drug use involving barbiturates, cocaine, and carboxy-tetrahydrocannabinol
This test is not intended for use in employment-related testing.
Test Id | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
---|---|---|---|
BARBU | Barbiturates Confirmation, U | Yes | No |
COKEU | Cocaine and metabolite Conf, U | Yes | No |
THCU | Carboxy-THC Confirmation, U | Yes | No |
Testing begins with screening tests for drugs of abuse including barbiturates, cocaine, and tetrahydrocannabinol.
Positive results are confirmed and quantitated by definitive methods, gas chromatography mass spectrometry for barbiturates, cocaine, and metabolites and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for tetrahydrocannabinol metabolites at an additional charge.
Only orderable as part of profile. For more information see:

Immunoassay
Testing begins with screening tests for drugs of abuse including barbiturates, cocaine, and tetrahydrocannabinol.
Positive results are confirmed and quantitated by definitive methods, gas chromatography mass spectrometry for barbiturates, cocaine, and metabolites and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for tetrahydrocannabinol metabolites at an additional charge.
Urine
The test does not screen for drug classes other than those listed in Testing Algorithm.

Detecting drug use involving barbiturates, cocaine, and carboxy-tetrahydrocannabinol
This test is not intended for use in employment-related testing.
Testing begins with screening tests for drugs of abuse including barbiturates, cocaine, and tetrahydrocannabinol.
Positive results are confirmed and quantitated by definitive methods, gas chromatography mass spectrometry for barbiturates, cocaine, and metabolites and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for tetrahydrocannabinol metabolites at an additional charge.
This test uses the simple screening technique that involves immunoassay testing for drugs by class. All positive immunoassay screening results are confirmed by either gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and quantitated before a positive result is reported.
This assay was designed to test for and confirm by GC-MS the following:
-Barbiturates
-Cocaine
This assay was designed to test for and confirm by LC-MS/MS the following:
-Carboxy-tetrahydrocannabinol
This test is intended to be used in a setting where the test results can be used to make a definitive diagnosis.
Only orderable as part of profile. For more information see:
-CSMPU / Controlled Substance Monitoring Panel, Random, Urine
-ADMPU / Addiction Medicine Profile with Reflex, 22 Drug Classes, High Resolution Mass Spectrometry and Immunoassay Screen, Random, Urine
-CSMEU / Controlled Substance Monitoring Enhanced Profile with Reflex, 21 Drug Classes, High Resolution Mass Spectrometry and Immunoassay Screen, Random, Urine
Negative
Screening cutoff concentrations:
Barbiturates: 200 ng/mL
Cocaine (benzoylecgonine-cocaine metabolite): 150 ng/mL
Tetrahydrocannabinol carboxylic acid: 50 ng/mL
This report is intended for use in clinical monitoring or management of patients. It is not intended for use in employment-related testing.
A positive result derived by this testing indicates that the patient has used one of the drugs detected by these techniques in the recent past.

The barbiturate, cocaine metabolite, and tetrahydrocannabinol metabolite assays are based on the kinetic interaction of microparticles in a solution as measured by changes in light transmission. In the absence of sample drug, soluble drug conjugates bind to antibody-bound microparticles, causing the formation of particle aggregates. As the aggregation reaction proceeds in the absence of sample drug, the absorbance increases. When a urine sample contains the drug in question, this drug competes with the drug derivative conjugate for microparticle-bound antibody. Antibody bound to sample drug is no longer available to promote particle aggregation, and subsequent particle lattice formation is inhibited. The presence of sample drug diminishes the increasing absorbance in proportion to the concentration of drug in the sample. Sample drug content is determined relative to the value obtained for a known cutoff concentration of drug.(Package inserts: BARB. Roche Diagnostics; V 13.0, 09/2021; THC2.
