Evaluating Urine Fentanyl Tests for Clinical Implementation
CE Expired
August 21, 2025
Over the past decade, the opioid crisis in the United States has intensified, largely due to the emergence of the fentanyl epidemic. Given its extraordinary potency, the ability to detect fentanyl use has become increasingly vital. Laboratory testing plays a crucial role across multiple clinical and regulatory contexts. While mass spectrometry-based confirmatory assays are widely regarded as the gold standard, urine drug screening commonly utilizes immunoassay techniques due to their rapid turnaround time and broad availability.
This presentation aims to explore recent advancements in the analytical and clinical performance of various fentanyl immunoassays and discuss practical considerations for their evaluation and implementation.
