About This Test
The Urine for Cannabinoids Test is used to detect the presence of cannabis (marijuana) and its metabolites in urine.
The primary psychoactive compound of cannabis is Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
After consumption, THC is metabolized in the liver and excreted in urine primarily as 11-nor-Δ⁹-THC-9-carboxylic acid (THC-COOH) — the major inactive metabolite used as a biomarker for cannabinoid exposure.
This test helps identify recent or past marijuana use, monitor substance abuse, and assess compliance in rehabilitation or workplace programs.
These compounds have an active ingredient called THC which affects the brain leading to hallucinations, altered sense of time, mood changes, delusions etc. This is a screening test to detect usage of Marijuana / Hashish / Cannabis / Weed in individuals.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
