Methaqualone Screen And Confirmation (Urine Test)

A methaqualone screen is a laboratory test that detects the presence of methaqualone, a sedative-hypnotic drug, in a person's urine. This test is typically used to monitor drug use or to detect overdose in individuals who may have ingested methaqualone.

The initial screening test for methaqualone involves a simple urine sample collection, which is then analysed using immunoassay techniques. If the initial screening test comes back positive, a confirmation test using a more specific method, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), is performed to confirm the presence of methaqualone in the urine sample.
