CAL Laboratory Services was founded with one simple goal: Provide Physicians & their patients comprehensive Laboratory Services and Regulatory Compliance with The Best Customer Service, The best Patient Service, The Fastest Results, and Ease of Use.
Urine Drug Testing
Urine drug testing provides valuable insight for the physician when making treatment decisions.
To be beneficial, testing should provide the physician with accurate information about the patient's current prescribed and un-prescribed medication levels.
Routine drug testing is becoming increasingly necessary as State and Federal regulations target prescribed substances as possible sources of diversion and abuse. Patient compliance and regulatory adherence are closely scrutinized.
Beyond regulatory necessity, physicians improve patient care by accurately measuring urinary drug concentrations. Closely monitoring urinary drug concentrations enable adjustments in dosing regimens to reflect the varying metabolic rates of individual patient's thereby improving and personalizing care. Regular testing also mitigates the risk of potentially fatal drug interactions.
Liquid Chromatography / Tandem Mass Spectrometry
LC-MS/MS technology is the most; selective, sensitive, accurate, and precise method for drug testing. The advantages of this methodology are a wide-ranging selectivity, very high sensitivity, pin point accuracy, and exceptional precision and robustness.
The mass spectrometers we use are all new manufactured in 2012 or later they are all triple quadrupole mass spectrometers. These instruments are the best technology available for drug testing.
In order to ensure the highest degree of accuracy, results are reviewed three separate times using a system of quality checks that is unrivaled in the industry.
Quality Assurance
1. Initial Review
This review is performed by our PhD Chemists with years of LC-MS/MS experience. To ensure accurate and precise results, every patient specimen is simultaneously analyzed with Quality Controls samples. The quantitative value of each patient sample is compared to the established value for all Quality Control samples which ensures method accuracy and precision. Every data point for all Patient Specimens and Quality Controls are reviewed for proper analytical viability.
2. Secondary Review
The ENTIRE Initial Review process is repeated by another PhD level scientist to confirm results.
3. Tertiary Review
The Tertiary Review is performed by our Toxicologists who each hold a PhD. During this review process, the patient report is reviewed in its entirety. In doing so all positive findings including; parent drugs and/or metabolite(s) are reviewed for metabolic consistency. If a discrepancy is found, then the raw data is reviewed again to make sure the result is true. Furthermore, if a result is still in question then the sample will be retested.
