Drug Screen – Anabolic Steroids (LC/MS)

Detection of anabolic steroids by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Targets include boldenone, nandrolone, stanozolol, testosterone, and trenbolone.

5 mL serum or 10 mL urine

Remove serum from red cells and place in an additive free transport tube.

• Serum: plastic or glass tube with no anticoagulant additives.
•  Urine: sealed, leak-proof container.

Label all samples. Ship overnight on cold packs.

The testing schedule reflects days that extractions are initiated. Samples must be received in the testing section by 3:30 pm the day prior to the scheduled test day, otherwise samples will be held until the next scheduled test day. Turnaround time represents the estimated number of business days needed for complete extraction, sample preparation, instrument analysis, quality review, and data interpretation.  
 
Samples deemed suspicious from initial screening will be subject to confirmatory testing. This may add an additional 1-3 days to the listed turnaround time, depending on the availability of reference standards through approved vendors and the complexity of required analytical and extraction methods.
