Validity of The Cozart Rapiscan Test for drug of abuse screening in hair by GC/MS Confirmation

This presentation will impact the forensic community and/or humanity by providing information on the testing of drugs of abuse in hair. This project was carried out to evaluate the performance characteristic of the immunoassay Cozart Rapiscan oral fluid Test® for drugs of abuse screening in hair extracts. The Cozart Rapiscan oral fluid Test® revealed good sensitivity and maximum specificity, proving to be a valid method of screening. To ensure the legal validity, confirmation analysis with chromatographic techniques (GC/MS or HPLC/MS) is required.
