Phencyclidine

Federal and DOT-regulated workplace drug testing under SAMHSA guidelines includes phencyclidine (PCP) as one of the five original mandated drug classes, making this Schedule II dissociative anesthetic a critical target analyte despite its withdrawal from surgical use due to severe adverse effects. Laboratory testing applications include forensic toxicology investigations, postmortem toxicology, emergency department clinical toxicology assessments of patients presenting with acute behavioral disturbances, and driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) cases. UTAK’s Miscellaneous Panel contains phencyclidine in lyophilized urine matrix at multiple concentration levels, supporting both immunoassay screening and confirmation methods used in clinical and forensic laboratories. Stock and custom QC solutions can incorporate related drugs of abuse such as cocaine, benzoylecgonine, THC, and other commonly monitored analytes to address your laboratory’s comprehensive federal workplace and drugs of abuse testing requirements.
