Lab report codes

CodeAnalyteWhat it means
AMPAmphetaminesAMP is the amphetamine strip — it flags Adderall-class prescriptions AND street speed alike. Prescription verified through the MRO reports negative.
mAMPMethamphetaminemAMP/MET flags crystal meth. Confirmation requires meth ≥250 ng/mL PLUS its amphetamine metabolite, separating meth from pure prescription amps.
METMethamphetamineMET is shorthand for methamphetamine on many cup brands — same drug, same confirmation rules as mAMP.
MOPOpiates (morphine/codeine)MOP is the classic opiate slot at 2,000 ng/mL — morphine, codeine and heroin's 6-MAM marker land here.
OPIOpiatesOPI covers natural opiates (heroin, morphine, codeine). Semi-synthetics like oxycodone usually need their own OXY/BUP strips.
COCCocaineCOC targets benzoylecgonine at 150/100 ng/mL — crack and powder produce identical metabolites.
THCMarijuana metaboliteTHC is the cannabis strip (THC-COOH at 50/15 ng/mL). Fat-soluble storage makes it the longest-lasting common analyte.
BZOBenzodiazepinesBZO flags Xanax/Valium/Klonopin class (~300/200 ng/mL). Not on basic 5-panels.
BARBarbituratesBAR is the legacy downer strip (phenobarbital family ~250–300 ng/mL).
TCATricyclic antidepressantsTCA screens amitriptyline/imipramine-class ADs — Flexeril(cyclobenzaprine), Benadryl and Seroquel can FALSELY flag it; confirmation resolves.
PCPPhencyclidinePCP anchors the federal five at a tight 25 ng/mL. DXM, Benadryl and Effexor are famous screen-falsifiers here.
BUPBuprenorphineBUP catches Suboxone/Subutex at ultra-low ~5 ng/mL — addiction-program staple, newer to employment cups.
MTDMethadoneMTD monitors clinic methadone (~300 ng/mL). Quetiapine and Benadryl can false-flag the screen tier.
OXYOxycodoneOXY adds Percocet/OxyContin detection (100 ng/mL) that legacy opiate strips miss.
MDMAEcstasyMDMA/molly rides the amphetamine-family assay at 500/250 when included.
FENFentanylFEN is the post-crisis addition at ~1 ng/mL — extremely sensitive, now common on 12+ panel cups.
ETGEthyl glucuronide (alcohol marker)EtG proves drinking within ~24–48 h at 100/500 ng/mL cutoffs — abstinence-monitoring standard.
K2Synthetic cannabinoidsK2 strips chase spice/JWH-family metabolites; coverage updates lag new analogues.
PPXPropoxyphene (Darvon)PPX is a withdrawn painkiller's legacy strip still printed on some multi-panel cups.
EDDPMethadone metaboliteEDDP confirms actual methadone metabolism (vs. lab contamination) in clinic compliance testing.
CRACreatinine (validity metric)Creatinine isn't a drug — labs measure it to catch water-loading dilution (<20 mg/dL = dilute flag).
