Test Code OXYCX Oxycodone with Metabolite Confirmation, Chain of Custody, Random, Urine

Reporting Name

Oxycodone w/metabolite Conf, CoC, U

Performing Laboratory

Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester

Useful For

Detection and quantification of oxycodone, oxymorphone, noroxycodone, and noroxymorphone in urine

 

Chain of custody is required whenever the results of testing could be used in a court of law. Its purpose is to protect the rights of the individual contributing the specimen by demonstrating that it was always under the control of personnel involved with testing the specimen; this control implies that the opportunity for specimen tampering would be limited.

Method Name

Immunoassay/Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)


Specimen Required


Supplies: Chain of Custody Kit (T282)

Container/Tube: Chain of custody kit containing the specimen containers, seals, and documentation is required.

Specimen Volume: 5 mL

Collection Instructions: Collect urine specimen in the container provided, seal, and submit with the associated documentation to satisfy the legal requirements for chain of custody testing.
