Drugs of Abuse in Urine (DAU)
"When confidence is key - choose our Drugs of Abuse in Urine proficiency testing scheme"
Human urine has been tested for many years to determine the presence and therefore use of illicit drugs. Urine testing may be requested for a variety of reasons, including health care, occupational monitoring, insurance screening, and legal or forensic purposes. Errors in tests could have severe consequences, such as dismissal from work or miscarriages of justice.
DAU, AXIO's Drugs of Abuse in Urine proficiency testing programme, is designed to provide an independent performance assessment of laboratories and clinics that provide routine services for the detection of drugs of abuse in urine. They are encouraged to participate in suitable PT/EQA schemes to ensure the highest standard of drug testing is achieved through independent assessment of measurement quality.
The operation of the AXIO Drugs of Abuse in Urine proficiency testing scheme is supported by an Advisory Group consisting of members of professional bodies, scheme participants, and others experienced in the field. The scheme reports on the performance of UK participants (who have clinical responsibilities) to the National Quality Assurance Advisory Panels for Chemical Pathology.
