Yes. Bupropion is one of the 76 compounds in the LabX LC-MS/MS confirmation panel, reported as detected at or above 40 ng/mL. Bupropion is not one of the 12 lines on the LabX 12-panel screen. It is identified by adding laboratory confirmation, which tests for all 76 compounds on the panel.
Bupropion is an antidepressant that acts mainly on dopamine and norepinephrine. It is chemically different from SSRIs and tricyclic antidepressants.
Also known as or found in: Wellbutrin, Zyban.
Bupropion is prescribed for depression, seasonal affective disorder and as an aid to quitting smoking.
Bupropion 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 Bupropion as detected when its concentration is at or above the cut-off of 40 ng/mL, within a reportable range of 40–4,000 ng/mL. It is one of 14 compounds in the antidepressants family on the 76-drug confirmation panel.
The laboratory's confirmation report does not print a standard detection window for Bupropion. How long any compound stays measurable varies with the amount taken, how often it is used, metabolism and hydration, and a laboratory result cannot be used to work out when a substance was taken.
Bupropion is not one of the 12 lines on the LabX 12-panel screen. It is identified by adding laboratory confirmation, which tests for all 76 compounds on the panel.
Bupropion has been reported to cause false-positive amphetamine results on some immunoassay screens. LC-MS/MS confirmation identifies bupropion itself.
Commonly prescribed antidepressants and their metabolites. They are not part of standard drug screens and are identified when a clinician needs a full medication picture.
Yes. Bupropion is one of the 76 compounds in the LabX LC-MS/MS confirmation panel, reported as detected at or above 40 ng/mL. Bupropion is not one of the 12 lines on the LabX 12-panel screen. It is identified by adding laboratory confirmation, which tests for all 76 compounds on the panel.
LabX reports Bupropion as detected at or above 40 ng/mL, and the method's reportable range is 40–4,000 ng/mL. A result below the cut-off is reported as not detected; it does not prove none was present.
The laboratory report does not print a standard window for Bupropion. Detection time varies with dose, frequency of use, metabolism and hydration.
