Test Overview & Methodology
This confirmatory urine test precisely detects Delta-9-THC metabolites (THC-COOH) using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), eliminating false positives common in screening assays. It is the gold standard for UAE legal, employment, and treatment monitoring, fully compliant with Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability for clinical safety and consent.
| Feature | Our Test (LC-MS/MS Confirmatory) | Closest Alternative (Immunoassay Screening) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% sensitivity & specificity; quantitative THC-COOH levels | ~90% sensitivity, high false-positive rate; qualitative only |
| Methodology | LC-MS/MS (gold standard per DHA guidelines) | Enzyme immunoassay (EIA), non-specific |
| Turnaround | Sample by Tue 9 AM → Report Friday (5 business days) | Same-day results often possible |
| Cost | 7,500 AED (all-inclusive) | 800–1,500 AED (screening only) |
| Regulatory Compliance | Fully compliant with UAE PDPL, ISO 9001:2015, and DHA forensic standards | Not accepted for legal/employment decisions without confirmation |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As your clinical advisor, I emphasize that a positive THC-COOH result must be correlated with your clinical history—occasional passive inhalation rarely yields the levels we measure. Cannabis use disorder is a medical diagnosis that requires comprehensive evaluation. Never make legal or treatment decisions solely on a laboratory number.”
— Dr. Ajay Singh, General Practitioner, DHA Registration ID: 36234132
⚠️ Critical Safety Notice
Do not discontinue prescribed medication or make abrupt lifestyle changes based on this test alone. Always consult your treating physician for integrated care.
Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Sample Integrity: Hematuria (blood in urine), gross adulteration, suspected substitution, or use of preservatives will invalidate results.
- Emergency Assessment: Seek immediate emergency care if you experience sudden psychosis, severe anxiety/panic, persistent chest pain, or seizures in the context of recent cannabis use.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How long can THC metabolites be detected in urine?
Our LC-MS/MS test accurately detects THC-COOH for up to 30 days after heavy chronic use, but timing varies with metabolism and body fat.
2. Can passive marijuana smoke cause a positive confirmatory test?
Extreme passive exposure cannot produce the high quantitative values we detect—our cut-off thresholds exclude environmental contamination.
3. Will CBD oil cause a positive THC confirmation?
Pure CBD products do not cross-react in our LC-MS/MS analysis, but contaminated CBD oils containing trace THC may trigger a low-level result.
