Our Toxicology Testing
We offer the ability to test urine samples. The collection is minimally invasive, producing both qualitative and quantitative results.
Madison Core Laboratories uses Liquid Chromatography Tandem-Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) to confirm presumptive positives with quantitative results.
Specialty Testing
Madison Core Laboratories’ toxicology system is a two-step process ensuring the most accurate results for our clients:
- All tests are initially processed using immunoassay. The initial immunoassay screen delivers qualitative results (positive or negative) based on pre-established cut-off levels.
- Madison Core Laboratories will confirm results by LC/MS/MS. This testing method is the most sensitive and specific to help exclude false positive results as well as confirm positive results.
Our Technology
- Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) is an invasive, specific technology, nearly eliminating the margin for error
- Cut-o levels for LC/MS/MS are lower, increasing the level of sensitivity and specificity.
- Madison Core Laboratories test for both parent drugs and metabolites, which allows for a broader scope of knowledge regarding patient medication, compliance, or illicit drug use.
