About PCP (Phencyclidine) Drug Test in Pasadena
Phencyclidine, commonly known as PCP, is a synthetic compound that was originally developed as a surgical anesthetic but was withdrawn from clinical use because of its adverse psychological effects.
Laboratory detection of phencyclidine typically relies on immunoassay screening followed by a more specific confirmatory method such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry when a screen is positive.
The test may be performed on urine, blood, or other specimen types, and the choice of sample depends on the clinical or forensic context and the expected window of detection.
Results are generally reported as negative or positive relative to a defined cutoff concentration. A positive result indicates that phencyclidine or its metabolites were detected at or above that threshold, while a negative result indicates that they were not.
