Can Warfarin or Coumadin cause a urinalysis to test positive for opiates?

No, warfarin is not an opiate and it is not one of the compounds that is known to cause false positive results in immunoassay type drug tests.


Will you test positive for meth taking Benadryl?

No, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) will not give a false positive for methamphetamine. However, Benadryl may cause a false positive for methadone in simple immunoassay tests, though more advanced tests can resolve a disputed result.

An immunoassay measures the presence or concentration of macromolecules found in a solution. To determine this measurement it uses an antibody or immunoglobulin.


What does a 6633N SAP 10 50 CCMS mean?

6633N SAP 10-50 GC/MS is a Quest Labs designation for a standard urinalysis which tests for cannabinoids, amphetamines, opiates etc. There is a 50ng/ml drug/metabolite cutoff level for the initial immunoassay screening with a 15ng/ml confirmation cutoff using Gas Chromotography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) method. Only specimens which fail the initial immunoassay screening, referred to as "presumptive positives", are sent for GC/MS confirmation at the more sensitive level. During the initial immunoassay screening, tests for validity such as specific gravity, creatinine level, alduterant (additive) checks etc. nare performed to ensure that the specimen has not been tampered with and is actual human urine. If a specimen passes intitial screening a "pass" is reported and no further testing is performed.

What is the most precise drug test?

Gas chromatographs/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the most precise drug test. It's also the most expensive drug test and it's slow to do, so labs that have these machines also have another machine called an "immunoassay" tester. (The most popular ones are EMIT and ELIZA tests.) They put all the samples through the immunoassay machine. Any sample that comes back positive gets fed into the GC/MS for confirmation.
