A precise instrument-based laboratory analysis, most often on urine, that identifies tramadol, a prescription medicine for pain, and the substances the body breaks it down into. It settles definitively whether that particular medicine is present rather than giving the rough yes-or-no a rapid screening device produces. It is used to check that someone prescribed the medicine is taking it as intended, or to look into unexplained screening results.
