• Drug-of-abuse screening programs
• Workplace or pre-employment drug screening
• Clinical and emergency toxicology evaluation
• Monitoring in substance-abuse programs

• Follow laboratory instructions for collection and submission
• No special fasting preparation is generally required

Result Interpretation:

• Negative: PCP was not detected at or above the laboratory's screening cutoff.
