N2 - The purpose of this study was to test the direct applicability of CEDIA DAU urine immunoassays to serum or whole blood. The performance of the urine assays for sensitive screening of amphetamines (AMP), benzoylecgonine (BZE), benzodiazepines (BENZ), methadone (MET), opiates (OPI), and tetrahydrocannabinol carboxylic acid (THCCOOH) was evaluated on the BM/Hitachi 911 analyzer with unpretreated serum and whole blood. The limit of detection was 0 ng/mL for all tests. Cutoff values were set from 10 to 40 ng/mL for the different assays. The assays were found to be linear between the following concentrations: AMP 0-2500 ng/mL, BZE 0-1200 ng/mL, BENZ 0-1600 ng/mL, MET 0-600 ng/mL, OPI 0-720 ng/mL, and THCCOOH 24-60 ng/mL. Precision results (within run) for different concentrations were as follows: AMP 3.1-5.7%, BZE 2.4-6.6%, BENZ 4.3-8.0%, MET 2.0-5.5%, OPI 2.8-7.6%, and THCCOOH 1.4-2.4%. Between-run results were as follows: AMP 8.7-15.5%, BZE 6.4-7.5%, BENZ 8.2-15.8%, MET 2.7-5.1%, OPI 4.3-11.2%, and THCCOOH 2.6-7.4%. Sensitivity, specificity, and comparison of CEDIA semiquantitation with GC-MS quantitative results were performed on 500 original serum and whole blood samples. The data provided sufficient documentation to use the CEDIA urine-screening technique without any adaptation as a sensitive serum/whole blood screening for BZE, BENZ, MET, OPI, and THCCOOH. Serum screening for amphetamines is not sensitive enough in the unchanged urine mode. It will require some adaptation to a serum mode (probably a higher sample volume [BM/Hitachi 911] combined with protein precipitation of the sample).
