The Siemens Atellica Opiate assay screening test detects the presence of morphine and codeine at concentration of 300 ng/mL or greater. Other opiates, oxycodone, hydromorphone, and hydrocodone may be detected if present at sufficient concentrations. The opiate screen does not detect fentanyl or buprenorphine. Confirmation testing should be considered when specific substances are requested. See Opiate, confirmation.
