Being able to determine a person’s use or nonuse of a particular drug can help a patient’s treatment, legal, and medical teams determine the appropriate course of action. Medication testing for drugs of abuse in urine (DAU) testing at Pelican Laboratories is requested for many reasons, including occupational monitoring, general healthcare, insurance screening, and legal purposes. A regulated drug test from Pelican Medical is the most efficient, accurate way to test people in your organization. Call our Owings Mills lab to learn more about our services by calling 877.575.6442.
What Is Confirmation Lab Testing?
When a urine drug screening shows a non-negative (positive) result, additional lab testing is needed to confirm the findings. Each drug a person consumes leaves a chemical footprint in the body. Certain substances, such as hemp, poppy seeds, and over-the-counter medications, can cause a person to test positive, even if they have not consumed any narcotics. In order to provide accurate, quality-assured results, we use liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry procedures to physically separate the chemicals.
Liquid-chromatography/mass spectrometry is a legally defensible method of testing for evidence of illegal drug use. Our lab’s ability to efficiently rule out false-positive claims at high volume makes our lab one of the go-to testing facilities on the east coast.

High-Volume Urine Screenings from Pelican Medical Group
Addiction treatment providers, employers, and other entities need to have immediate access to accurate results. Pelican Medical Group understands the need for both speed and accuracy; our equipment can detect negligible amounts of prescribed and prescribed psychoactive chemicals. These substances often go undetected in less precise laboratory environments. In a high-quality drug treatment program, patients need to be tested several times in order to ensure their compliance with the program.
Quality, Accuracy, Convenience
To ensure the highest standard of drug testing, our laboratory is subject to independent assessment and quality measurement. Confirmation testing for specific DAUs involves a complex series of laboratory, medical, and legal factors. The choices of drugs to be screened, the composition of testing panels, the intended purpose, the use of the drug testing results, the need or desire for confirmation testing, and the economic costs of testing are all factors that the laboratory must consider.
