Indications for Use
The Omega Laboratories Hair Drug Screening Assay Phencyclidine (PCP) is a laboratory developed test that is intended to be used for the determination of the presence of PCP in human hair from the head. The Omega Laboratories Hair Drug Screening Assay (PCP) utilizes the International Diagnostic Systems Corp (IDS) One-Step enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for PCP, for the qualitative detection of PCP at or above 300 pg/mg of hair for the purpose of identifying the use of PCP. To confirm a screen positive result, a more specific alternate chemical method, such as Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) operating in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode is the preferred method with deuterated internal standards. Professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when presumptive positive results are obtained. This laboratory developed test is intended exclusively for in-house laboratory use only and is not intended for sale to anyone. Omega offers this laboratory developed test as a service to its clients.
Device Story
Device is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for qualitative detection of phencyclidine (PCP) in human head hair. Input: hair samples collected via Omega Collection Kit. Process: proprietary acid-methanol extraction converts solid hair matrix to liquid; IDS One-Step ELISA reagents used in microplate format; microplate reader measures absorbance at 450 nm. Output: preliminary qualitative result (positive/negative). Used in-house by trained laboratory personnel. Output used by clinicians/clients to identify potential drug use; positive results require GC/MS confirmation. Benefits: provides longer history of drug usage compared to urine; observed collection reduces adulteration risk.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Method comparison study of 352 donor hair samples (176 negative, 176 positive) compared ELISA results against GC/MS. Precision studies (intra-assay and inter-assay) performed over 20 days using spiked hair samples. Analytical specificity evaluated against 270 structurally related/unrelated compounds. Hair treatment studies (bleaching, dyeing, relaxer, shampoo) and environmental contamination studies (dry contact, smoke) confirmed the assay's robustness and the efficacy of the methanol wash procedure in mitigating false positives.
Technological Characteristics
ELISA-based immunoassay; microplate reader (450 nm). Proprietary acid-methanol extraction procedure. Cutoff: 300 pg/mg. In-house laboratory use only. No radioactive waste produced.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative detection of Phencyclidine (PCP) in human head hair at or above a 300 pg/mg cutoff to identify PCP use. Intended for in-house laboratory use only as a prescription-use service.
