Reference Values

Negative

Screening cutoff concentration: 2 ng/mL

Interpretation

If the screen result is negative, fentanyl concentrations above 0.20 ng/mL were not detected.

 

If the screen result is positive, then confirmation by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry will be performed.

 

The presence of fentanyl above 0.20 ng/mL or norfentanyl above 1.0 ng/mL is a strong indicator that the patient has used fentanyl.
