About Phencyclidine (PCP) Screen and Confirmation, Urine in Laguna Niguel
PCP is a dissociative drug that can be detected in urine for a limited window after use.
The screen uses an immunoassay that reacts to phencyclidine or closely related structures. Because immunoassays are designed for speed and broad detection, a reactive screen is considered presumptive rather than definitive.
Confirmation is usually performed with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). These methods separate and identify the drug by its chemical properties, providing a more specific result.
Urine is the sample type because PCP and its metabolites are excreted in urine. Detection times vary with dose, frequency of use, individual metabolism, and hydration, so a negative result does not necessarily rule out earlier use.
