Frequently Asked Questions

What is the DRUID forensic panel?

The DRUID forensic panel is a validated forensic toxicology method that quantifies 24 psychoactive substances from whole blood or urine by LC-MS/MS. It is named after the EU DRUID (Driving Under the Influence of Drugs, Alcohol and Medicines) project, which established analytical cut-offs for drug-impaired driving assessment across Europe.

What substances does it cover?

The panel covers the major drug classes relevant to impaired driving: opioids (morphine, codeine, methadone), benzodiazepines (diazepam, oxazepam), amphetamines (amphetamine, methamphetamine, MDMA), cocaine and benzoylecgonine, cannabis (THC, THC-COOH), tramadol, and other psychoactive compounds — all measured at legally relevant concentrations.

How is the sample collected?

Venous blood or urine is collected by a healthcare professional or forensic officer following strict chain-of-custody protocols. Proper sample identification, sealing, and documentation are essential to ensure the results are admissible in legal proceedings.

How long does it take to get results?

Results are typically delivered within 3 to 5 working days from the time your sample arrives at our laboratory. The analysis is performed by LC-MS/MS with forensic-grade accuracy and documented measurement uncertainty.

Is this panel forensically validated?

Yes, the method is fully validated for forensic applications with documented accuracy, precision, linearity, and measurement uncertainty in accordance with international forensic toxicology guidelines. Results are suitable for use in legal proceedings and can be supported by expert witness testimony.
