Toxicology:
Toxicology testing aids in combating the opioid epidemic. In addition, it protects clinicians who are prescribing, and patients who are being treated with, controlled medications. Our standards of excellence and integrity make medication monitoring a reasonable, realistic component of a successful treatment for patients.
We offer realTOX, a comprehensive toxicology service available in two sample types: Urine Drug Testing (UDT) or Oral Fluid Testing (OFT). Both sample types offer clinicians a selection from 29 drug classes and 99 metabolites rapidly delivered as a consolidated report from our LIS portal.
Our simple, easy-to-read report can be downloaded or printed from our portal and showcases quantitative readings, disclosed medications, and succinct patient histories. This process ensures precise results and information for both patients and clinicians.
Experience superior service with a lab you can trust.
Unique Testing Approach: Many labs test for more drug classes than what is actually needed. We take a different approach and allows clinicians to customize their testing needs on a patient by patient basis.
Turnaround Time: Results are posted to client portal within 24-48 hours from receipt of sample.
Custom Reporting: Our cloud-based LIS portal allows clients instant access to their finalized reports. This expedited process leads to quicker reception and interpretation of results.
Report Delivery Options: Customers have 24/7 access to view results instantly via our cloud-based LIS portal or may choose to receive reports by fax or email.
Customer Service: We have a team of internal client service specialists and toxicologists who are here to support clients and interpret patient results.
Combating the growing opioid crisis.
The drug addiction and opioid overdose epidemics have increased by astonishing numbers within the last decade. The most drastic upward trend of drug overdose deaths is due to synthetic opioids (other than methadone). The rate of drug overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids increased on average of 18% per year from 1999 to 2013. Source
realTOX - The high-complexity toxicology.
Real Diagnostics utilizes state-of-the-art Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) for all quantitative results. This gold standard provides accurate results down to the nano-milliliter of the submitted sample.
High-complexity drug testing using mass spectrometry provides critical data essential to healthcare providers, public health, and law enforcement. According to The National Independent Laboratory Association (NILA), labs providing high-complexity drug testing stay ahead of the emerging designer drug landscape. Source
