Drug Testing - The Definitive Guide

DOPING SAMPLES

"Doping" samples consists of spiking the sample with different chemicals and substances. This is never a good idea for one reason: You don’t know what type of test will be run on your specimen.

Most instant testing now days is done in conjunction of some type of adulterant test. Even the simple little immunoassay test done at the time of an interview come with an adulterant panel built into them. Some additives alter the urine's pH, add oxidants or throw the specific gravity out of range for normal human urine. Labs test the pH, nitrates, specific gravity and oxidants to see if the sample has been adulterated.

Household products and cleansers will be detected and commercial additives, if they are not detected, they probably will not work. This includes bleach, ammonia, Draino, hydrogen peroxide, soaps, etc. Again, commercial additives, detox products and synthetic urine are illegal in most states, and some commercial vendors will not ship their product to an address in those states. That is why most will advertise that the product is an “herbal cleanser” or a product designed to clean “nicotine” from the system.

As far as the guarantee is concerned, if a product is advertised to “block” or “mask” nicotine from the urine and you provide proof of a failed drug test that doesn’t test for nicotine, the guarantee does not apply. Just so you are aware, no employer, court system, or rehab facility will test for nicotine. You might look on the internet to find vendors and/or distributors who will ship their product to your location no matter what the law, but keep in mind the product has probably changed hands several times. You don’t know whether the product has been stored properly or if it is out-of-date prior to purchase.

If you are subject to random tests, you may want to consider keeping a synthetic urine in your lunchbox or some other personal space where you could have access once notified of a drug test.
