 Clinical Significance: Cocaine is a central nervous system stimulant that is extracted from the coca plant. As a drug of abuse, cocaine is self-administered in a variety of ways, including inhalation and intravenous injection. Cocaine base can be smoked in a form that is commonly known as crack cocaine (crack). Cocaine is rapidly absorbed, especially when smoked. While all forms are potentially addicting, crack is especially likely to lead to dependence because of its more rapid
and heightened effect on the abuser. Excretion rate patterns vary with the mode of administration and from individual to individual. Cocaine is almost completely metabolized, primarily in the liver, with only about one percent excreted in the urine unchanged. Most cocaine is eliminated as benzoylecgonine, the major metabolite of cocaine. Cocaine is also excreted in relatively lesser amounts as ecgonine methyl ester and ecgonine. Cocaine metabolites may be detected in urine for up to a couple of days after cocaine is used. Benzoylecgonine can be detected in urine within four hours after cocaine inhalation and remain detectable in concentrations greater than 1000 ng/mL for as long as 48 hours.
The Atellica CH Coc assay tests for benzoylecgonine, the major metabolite of cocaine, in human urine. Positive results for specimens containing other compounds structurally unrelated to benzoylecgonine have not been observed.
While confirmation techniques other than GC/MS may be adequate for some drugs of abuse, GC/MS is generally accepted as a rigorous confirmation technique for all drugs, since it provides the best level of confidence in the result

BreastDx Clear™

BreastDx Clear™
Test Code: 1250
Test Description BreastDx Clear is a multi-gene test that analyzes 16 breast cancer susceptibility genes. Although all women have some risk of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer at some point in their lives, having a mutation in one of the breast cancer susceptibility genes increases this risk. Men who have a mutation in one of the breast cancer susceptibility genes have an increased risk of breast, prostate, pancreatic, gastric and other cancer types.
