About Benzodiazepine Screen, Blood in Berkeley
This test measures benzodiazepine compounds and their metabolites in blood.
Blood is a relatively clean matrix for drug detection because it reflects what is circulating at the moment of collection. Benzodiazepines are a large family of sedative-hypnotic drugs with different potencies, half-lives, and metabolic pathways, so a screen may target common parent drugs and their breakdown products.
Screening assays are designed to flag samples that may contain benzodiazepines. Because screening methods vary in sensitivity and specificity, a reactive screen is generally considered presumptive and may be followed by a confirmatory method such as mass spectrometry to identify specific compounds.
Results are reported according to the performing laboratory's format, which may include a qualitative positive or negative interpretation, a cutoff value, or a list of detected substances. Turnaround is typically one to three business days, depending on the laboratory and the methods used.
