Specimen Required
Supplies: Chain of Custody Kit (T282)
Container/Tube: Chain of custody kit containing the specimen containers, seals, and documentation required
Specimen Volume: 5 mL
Collection Instructions: Collect specimen in the container provided, seal, and submit with the associated documentation to satisfy the legal requirements for chain-of-custody testing.
Additional Information: Submitting less than 5 mL will compromise the ability to perform all necessary testing.
Forms
1. Chain of Custody Request is included in the Chain of Custody Kit (T282).
2. If not ordering electronically, complete, print, and send a Therapeutics Test Request (T831) with the specimen.
Useful For
Detecting drug use involving benzodiazepines such as alprazolam, chlordiazepoxide, clonazepam, diazepam, midazolam, oxazepam, temazepam, clobazam, flunitrazepam, flurazepam, lorazepam, prazepam, triazolam, and zolpidem, in urine specimens handled through the chain-of-custody process
Providing chain of custody for when the results of testing could be used in a court of law. Its purpose is to protect the rights of the individual contributing the specimen by demonstrating that it was always under the control of personnel involved with testing the specimen; this control implies that the opportunity for specimen tampering would be limited.
