About the Test
This test screens a urine sample for barbiturates, a class of sedative-hypnotic drugs once widely prescribed for anxiety, seizures and insomnia. A negative result means no barbiturate metabolites were detected at the screening cut-off, while a positive result indicates recent use or exposure. It is commonly requested for workplace or clinical drug monitoring, medication compliance checks and suspected overdose or misuse situations.
What is it? A urine screen that detects barbiturate drugs and their metabolites; also called a barbiturate drug screen.
