Urine drug test is the mechanism by which the illegal drugs present in our body are brought to light. If you opt for a urine drug test, you would be asked to bring a sample of your urine, before getting ready with the sample, just understand a few important points regarding collection of the sample.

  • Early morning sample prove to give a very clear picture of the presence of illegal drugs.
  • Ensure that you clean the genital area before collecting the sample. This helps in arresting the spread of infections
  • Make sure that you discard first few milliliters of the urine. Only the intermediate sample would suffice. 2-3 ounces of urine is required for the urine drug test.

How to Ensure Security in Urine Drug Tests?

Nowadays, the urine sample is often mishandled. The person who is asked to take the test often brings the urine sample of some other person. He is also reported to have diluted the urine to create a hazy picture of the illegal drugs present. In order to avoid this, the laboratory can instruct the testers to wear an office gown and ask the person to collect the sample in a room where he does not have access to water.Once the sample arrives at the lab, it has to be tested for its specific gravity first. The specific gravity of undiluted urine is in the range of 1.006 and 1.030. If there is a discrepancy, the sample is to be returned to the tester right away stating that there is an explicit dilution that has occurred.

Phases of Urine Drug Test

The different phases of urine drug test are:

1. Physical testing phase: In this phase, the urine sample is examined for the color, specific gravity and general appearance.
2. Chemical testing phase: Here the urine sample is tested for the presence of drugs.
3. Microscopic examination: This is the phase that identifies the cells, mucous and bacteria present in the sample.

Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GCMS) is the most preferred method of urine drug test. False positives of a urine drug test have to be analyzed and retested.. The false positives might arise due to factors like tablets intake and unique food practices.

Home Based Urine Drug Tests

There are several vendors selling home based drug test kits. A dipstick is provided in the kits. This ahs to be inserted in the sample and changes in color are noted. However, such home based tests are prone to errors and false results. Before you buy the kits, understand that they are error prone and are deceptive.

Drug tests generally trigger uproar among people and are often not triggered.
However, Urine drug tests are justified only under the context of pre employment and post accidental cases.

Now that you know the nuances involved, make sure that you render your cooperation if it comes to urine drug tests in reality.

    Hi, thank you for your question. If your husband is an occasional user his system is likely to be clear of cocaine in two to three days

    My husband has used crack cocaine atleast one night a week for the last eight weeks ,most of the time heavilly for about 6 to 8 hrs a night how long does he have to wait until his sysyem is clear enough to pass a drug test

  4. dsasser on August 26th, 2008 at 7:03 am

    I would say that you will ahve to wait for 7-10 days since the quantity taken was heavy. But my suggestion would be he can try a few detox products and test himself at home with the test device that come with the kit before giving the final test.

    @Frank
    what is the type of test that you are going to take? What is your metabolic rate? And what were the recreational drugs taht you took. In my opinion, stay away from drugs for the next few weeks. Take a veggie diet. That would help flush toxins out of your system. Get me the details and I shall tel you more

    Can you pass a clean urine test in the period of five days? And during this period taking a seven day detox and drinking 4litres of water a day and eating cabbage soup a whole cabbage?

    It depends on what are the drugs for which the screening is done. Most of the drugs tend to leave within the 5 day period with the aid of detoxification. But there are certain drugs that don’t. So it really depends on the name of the drugs for which the screening is done

    I was on xanax for appr. 7 yrs and stopped taking them in Sept 2008. I took a 1 milligram xanax Dec. 31 and wanted to know how long it will take before i can pass a drug test?

    Please have a look at the article at http://howto.dcrdetox.com/how-long-does-xanax-stay-in-your-system. In general it takes a week to get expelled out of your urine. But getting into regular use of it can cause unwanted consequences so, be careful

    @Mark Taylor
    3 months is too long a timeframe. However, some drugs tend to get detected even after that. But preservation for 3 full months is something very tough and usually not done

    @kevin
    If you are an occasional smoke, give a time gap of at least 30 days. Then you would be safe. If you are a frequent drinker/smoker, then there is no guarantee. However, a proper detox can really helping such scenarios. Get to know the right product that can help you and follow the instructions properly to pass drug test

    @lizette
    3 days is too short a time frame. Are you going to be tested for urine? If that is the case, it is very short. The powerful detox commercial products can help you pass in such cases.

    Don’t take any illegal substances. You should know what drugs are going to cause you to fail this, if so, stay away from them.

    I took one mg of xanax (alazopram) and about four-five 50 mg tramadol over a two to three day period about 12 days ago. I had to submit urine for a drug test yesterday. From my educational background, I always thought most pills (if not a chronic user) stays in your system for around 3 days or so. The test they are using is a 9 bund which means opiates and benzos will be looked for. Should the results come back negative after 12 days of nothing but good ole sweat and water and just overall good health? I’m tall, thin…….in somewhat good shape. No liver problems or kidney problems……AM I SAFE?

    The most commonly used method for urine drug screening is immunoassay, a rapid and accurate test that uses antibodies embedded on test strips to reveal drug use. Antibodies react only in the presence of very specific substances—in this case, drugs present in urine.

    Hi, I wanted to know if you drink about 6oz of wine (moscoto) how long will it take for it to leave your system?

    Does this affect a urine drug test if you took the test like 15 hours later?

    You’ve done everything exactly right after being fired. You went into that program. That is seriously in your favor. So when you apply for jobs, you tell what happened. You blew it, so you went into the SAP program, and now you’ve got yourself straight – literally.
