Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
What is Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)?
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is generally accepted to be the principle active component- in marijuana, although other cannabinoids are likely to contribute to the physiological activity of marijuana. Tetrahydrocannabinol is rapidly absorbed by inhalation and the gastrointestinal tract . It is almost completely metabolized. The predominant metabolite is 9-carboxy-11-nor-delta-9-THC, which found in the plasma, feces and urine along with other compounds. Very low concentrations of THC may be detected in urine during the initial several hours, but tetrahydrocannabinol persists in urine at a detectable concentration for many days after smoking.

About Our Test
The THC test is a one step rapid, qualitative immunoassay for the detection of tetrahydrocannabinol compounds in urine. The cutoff concentration for this test is 50 ng/ml. This assay is intended for use in clinical toxicology laboratories, physicians' offices, drug of abuse clinics and law enforcement agencies.Urine based screening tests for drugs of abuse range from complex analytical procedures to simple immunoassay tests. The sensitivity and rapidity of immunoassay have made them the most accepted method of preliminary screening for drugs of abuse in urine. This allows the laboratory to eliminate the large number of negative specimens and focus on the smaller number of initially positive samples.
