Yes. PCP is one of the 76 compounds in the LabX LC-MS/MS confirmation panel, reported as detected at or above 10 ng/mL. The LabX 12-panel screen includes a PCP line designed to pick up PCP. A screen is presumptive; adding laboratory confirmation identifies PCP specifically.
PCP (phencyclidine) is a dissociative drug that was developed as an anesthetic and later withdrawn from human medical use.
Also known as or found in: phencyclidine, angel dust.
PCP has no current approved medical use in humans.
PCP is measured by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), which separates the compounds in a sample and identifies each one by its mass. That is different from a rapid screen, which reacts to a family of drugs and can occasionally react to a related substance. The laboratory reports PCP as detected when its concentration is at or above the cut-off of 10 ng/mL, within a reportable range of 10–1,000 ng/mL. It is one of 6 compounds in the dissociatives, adulterants and exposure markers family on the 76-drug confirmation panel.
The laboratory's confirmation report lists an approximate detection window of 2-13 days for PCP. Treat that as a rough guide only: how long any compound stays measurable varies with the amount taken, how often it is used, body composition, metabolism, kidney and liver function, and hydration. A laboratory result cannot be used to work out when a substance was taken.

PCP remains on the standard federal workplace drug panel, which is why it appears on 12-panel screens. Confirmation identifies it specifically.
Dissociative drugs, the street-supply adulterant xylazine, and markers of cannabis and alcohol exposure.
Yes. PCP is one of the 76 compounds in the LabX LC-MS/MS confirmation panel, reported as detected at or above 10 ng/mL. The LabX 12-panel screen includes a PCP line designed to pick up PCP. A screen is presumptive; adding laboratory confirmation identifies PCP specifically.
LabX reports PCP as detected at or above 10 ng/mL, and the method's reportable range is 10–1,000 ng/mL. A result below the cut-off is reported as not detected; it does not prove none was present.
The laboratory lists an approximate window of 2-13 days, but it varies with dose, frequency of use, metabolism and hydration, and cannot be used to tell when something was taken.
