Clinical Drug Monitoring

Luxor Scientific’s extensive clinical drug monitoring testing provides vital and actionable data before or during treatment.

Luxor Scientific offers comprehensive testing for prescription medications and illicit drugs detectable in both urine and oral fluid. Our LC-MS/MS technology, coupled with proprietary methods of freeing and concentrating drugs and metabolites, provides highly sensitive and accurate toxicology test results. Having clear and consistent insight into the medication or other substances inside a patient’s body can be vital in planning or monitoring the progress of their treatment. Luxor Scientific’s reports are user-friendly to ensure results are easy to interpret.

Luxor Scientific’s clinically validated high-sensitivity detection allows clinicians to:
  • Establish patient compliance
  • Identify illicit drug use
  • Recognize adulterated samples
  • Formulate future therapeutic plans
  • Differentiate between permitted and illicit compounds, such as:
    • THC/CBD
    • D&L isomers of methamphetamine
    • Ethanol metabolites, EtG and EtS

We deliver value beyond standard clinical drug testing

CannabisConfirm
With new and changing laws in regards to state-based legality and increased usage of cannabinoids, including Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, Delta-9 THC), Cannabidiol (CBD), Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-8 THC), it has become ever-important to be able to differentiate between usage of the legal and illegal compounds.

Although THC is variably legal in many states, its man-made counterparts, specifically Delta-8 and CBD, are legal more often than not, and will interfere with standard THC screens and even confirmatory methods. Luxor Scientific is able to differentiate Delta-8 THC and CBD from Delta-9 THC using our proprietary sample preparation and LC-MS/MS method.

Tranquillizer/Emerging Drugs
Tranquillizers like Xylazine, not meant for human consumption, and other emerging drugs are being laced into Fentanyl and plaguing communities across the nation. The combined addiction of these drugs complicates treatment, and it has become imperative to identify usage of these drugs to treat co-addictions.

As cases of Fentanyl laced with Xylazine and other emerging drugs continues to rise, more and more providers are being challenged with how to diagnose and care for their patients.

Our industry leading team of scientists and operational leaders have developed a comprehensive test to identify if Xylazine and other emerging drugs are present. Luxor Scientific is one of the only labs in the US to offer both urine and oral fluid specialized testing with results within 24-hrs.

Methamphetamine Isomers
Luxor Scientific offers a reflex test to determine the isomers of methamphetamine.

Methamphetamine can be a stimulant drug of abuse or a prescription drug to treat attention deficit hyperactivity, obesity, and other conditions. This test provides definitive results determining the ratio of D and L isomers in the urine or oral fluid specimens. The L isomer is identified in patients that have used over-the-counter nasal decongestant. The D isomer can be found in weight loss drugs along with the illicit form of methamphetamine.

Synthetic Urine
We have found that up to 2% of samples received at Luxor Scientific are substituted with synthetic urine.

Urine Confirm is a test used to detect if a patient’s urine sample has been substituted with synthetic urine. Results help ensure providers have the best knowledge on a patient’s medication adherence. Urine Confirm tests for markers in human urine to establish authenticity of the urine specimen, which allows providers to detect patients attempting to simulate compliance.

Thebaine (Poppy Seeds)
Traditional laboratory practice only informs physicians if morphine and its metabolites are present in a patient’s sample.

Luxor Scientific detects thebaine, a compound only found in poppy seeds. If thebaine is present, it is possible that poppy seed consumption caused the positive morphine result. In this way, Luxor Scientific can help differentiate between heroin, morphine, and poppy seed usage.
