What is a high sensitivity immuno-enzymatic method?
Is it a dip stick?

What is a high sensitivity immuno-enzymatic method?What initiated this question?

[juliano67]

A company in Montreal uses this method for street drug testing

When you say "company" what do you mean? Place of employment? Lab? health care facility?

If its a lab or health care facility, which one?

Its lab bio medic in Montreal and quebec

Well, its not a dipstick because dipsticks are a pass/fail endeavor and have no ability to give a quantitative value. LBM touts this methodology as having the ability to quantify:


The screening test is a high sensitivity immuno-enzymatic method, which makes screening of all street drugs as well as (off-topic drug) level measurement possible....
This particular methodology is currently not being used here in the States, as it does not carry the US Department of Health & Human Services stamp of approval. Its reliability as an "end-all" form of methodology is a question mark on the basis that urine samples would still have to undergo a confirmation test using the GC/MS:

(continuing) ....It should be noted that we perform drug confirmation analysis using gaseous phase chromatography.

I just called the lab that does the testing,and they say high sensitivity immuno enzymatic method is basically a machine that has a cutoff of
50 ng/ml ,its just better then a dipstick, and uses colors to determine how much over the cut off you are, and if your over the cut off, they send
It to a chromatography machine and confirm The results there
