What can be expected from Pathcare? SANAS accredited result generation according to ISO High quality test analysis A quote including:  competitive pricing.  A customer specific Request Form.  A code linking the employee to the customer, customer requirements (type of specimen, time of collection, type of reporting, type of account etc).  Bar coded containers linking the patient to the required testing.  Rapid TAT  A single account.

The Audit trail Client + RF + Container Couriers to PathCare Park Data captured + bar code Line driven by bar code selecting bench and analyzer Results down loaded to mainframe Verification by senior technologist and pathologist (Grossly abnormal results phoned) Site specific report generation: hard copy/fax/

Which types of tests do Pathcare offer? Blood analyses:  Alcohol; barbiturates; benzodiazepines, TCAD. Urine analyses:  Most drugs of abuse.  Urine concentrates the drug over a longer period.  Urine creatinine All analyses are antigen-antibody reactions directed at specific epitopes on the drug giving drug specific results. All results are linked to a control. Confirmation of most DOA by means of GC-MS available. We do not offer dipstix testing.

Why lab testing and not dipstix? Dipstix can be effective but are prone to mistakes. Render quick results Not as sensitive. False positive reactions. Use the same basic principles. Based on an antigen-antibody reaction Very specific for the antigen(drug) and/or its metabolite. The drug testing is either qualitative or semi-quantitative.
