What is the preferred method for confirmation of postive or non-negative results from initial drug screens?
Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used, because every specimen is a potential source for legal action.
