Can anyone please help me decipher what this means?

6405N SAP 5 - 50 GC/MS

Thank you!!

SAP = Substance Abuse Panel.

5 = the drugs they test for - cannabis, cocaine amphetamines, opiates, and PCP.

50 = the cutoff for testing positive 50 ng/mL for marijuana metabolites.

GC/MS = Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry. This is used to verify a positive assay test such as EMIT.

The 50 ng/mL cutoff is for EMIT, and 15 ng/mL is for GC/MS.

I imagine that they would give you an EMIT test first, and if it comes out positive, they would verify it with a GC/MS test.

I dunno about the 6405N. Perhaps that's a model number for tests such as procedures to follow like checking for additives.

CheebaMonkey,

Thanks for the info. My Quest Diag. test number is 10-50/300 GC/MS. Any idea what the 10 drugs are? Also, the 300?

Thanks!

CheebaMonkey

Amphetamines
Barbiturates
Benzodiazepines (Valium®)
Cocaine
Marijuana
Methadone
Methaqualone
Opiates (Codeine)
PCP
Propoxyphene (Darvon®)

I think the 300 is 300 ng/mL cutoff for opiates (perhaps Morhpine) using GC/MS. If you haven't been using any opiates, then it's not a problem for you. They also might have changed the cutoff levels for the opiates.

Thank you very much for responding.

THANK YOU JESUS, ALLAH, BUDDAH, ad infinitum!!!! And ESPECIALLY for the person who answered what the 5 and the 10 tests mean... I've been looking for like 5 hours to try and confirm my suspicions that the "5" meant they were only testing the "big five." I'm going for a pre-employment SAP 5-50 GC/MS and I have been popping benzos like crazy lately (didn't really expect to get a job, made a cold call out of the blue today, talked to the two managers and they want me training on Saturday if the results are back!!!) I've been off weed for a year and a half, never touched coke or meth, smoked dust like twice 20 years ago, and the last time I had any opiates were a few pain pills 4 weeks ago which I can have my oral surgeon (who removed two teeth) explain with no problem!!!

Just in case I bought a box of drug test pills and a bottle of a liquid... can't be too safe, I need this f'ing job! (Boy have drug tests changed in the last 15 years since I was on smoking out during 3 years of probation.. had to make sure none of the products have any adulterants they can test for.. I used to just to to the health food store in the right section of Washington Heights, NYC and ask for a 50 of the brown bag, a 50 of the white bag, a dime of whatever other varieties they had on hand and a box of Naturally Kleen LOL)

Thanks guys!!!
