About this test
This urine test screens for amphetamine-class stimulants and confirms any presumptive positive. The immunoassay detects amphetamine and related compounds, and the confirmation step identifies what is actually present. A dedicated order like this is often used when a clinician wants a verified result rather than a screening-only finding. The confirmation step identifies the particular stimulant, which helps distinguish prescribed medication from other amphetamine-class compounds.
What this test measures
- Amphetamines (screen) Stimulant compounds such as amphetamine and methamphetamine detected by immunoassay in urine.
- Amphetamine confirmation A specific analytical method used to verify and identify a presumptive positive amphetamine screen.
Who this test may be right for
- A clinician wants to evaluate possible amphetamine use with confirmation.
- You take a prescribed amphetamine and its detection needs verification.
- You are in a monitoring program that includes urine drug testing.
- A screening result requires confirmation before it is acted upon.
Before your visit
- No fasting is required for this urine test.
- Provide a fresh sample at the collection site.
- Report prescription stimulants and any over-the-counter decongestants.
- Avoid large fluid intake just before collection to prevent a dilute sample.
Understanding your results
A negative result suggests amphetamines were not detected above the cutoff. A positive screen is presumptive and is verified by the confirmation step, which can identify the specific amphetamine-class compound. Urine detection can last a few days after use, depending on the substance and individual factors. Discuss any result with a healthcare provider, particularly if you take a prescription stimulant.
