All specimens are tested for adulterants with TestSure™:
TestSure™Specimen Validity Testing (SVT): Adulterants are foreign substances either ingested or added directly to a urine specimen to prevent the detection of drug use. Promoted as "cleansing agents," these substances range from everyday household items to specific chemical additives easily obtained through the Internet.
Every specimen is screened for the following compounds. When adulterants are identified, they will be confirmed using state-of-the-art secondary testing methods prior to reporting the results to you.
1. Common household products that may affect test results
2. Common products that may be used as a specimen substitute
3. Chemical additives that may affect test results
4. Prescription drugs that may affect test results
Drug Abuse in the Workplace
Drug abuse in America is a problem that affects everyone. Drug abuse is so widespread that the U.S., with 5% of the world’s population, consumes 60% of the entire world’s supply of illicit drugs. With so many people abusing these substances, business owners can’t help but wonder how it affects their company. Decades of research has shown that employers who develop, implement and annually review their drug testing policy can save thousands of dollars in annual costs. There is a new ROI calculator available you can use to learn how much drug use is costing your company and how cost effective having a drug testing program can be.

All specimens are tested for adulterants with TestSure™:
TestSure™Specimen Validity Testing (SVT): Adulterants are foreign substances either ingested or added directly to a urine specimen to prevent the detection of drug use. Promoted as "cleansing agents," these substances range from everyday household items to specific chemical additives easily obtained through the Internet.
Every specimen is screened for the following compounds. When adulterants are identified, they will be confirmed using state-of-the-art secondary testing methods prior to reporting the results to you.
1. Common household products that may affect test results
- Acid, ammonia, lye and vinegar: These products affect urine pH, which is a measure of whether the specimen is abnormally acidic or basic. These products may interfere with the initial (screening) test.
- Bleach: May interfere with the initial (screening) test.
2. Common products that may be used as a specimen substitute
- Lemonade, soft drinks, sports drinks and water: Donors sometimes attempt to substitute these products for their urine sample or may drink large quantities of these fluids in an attempt to dilute their urine. By measuring and reporting creatinine and specific gravity, you or your medical review officer will have additional information to assess the validity of the urine specimen.
3. Chemical additives that may affect test results
- Chemicals such as glutaraldehyde (UrinAid), nitrite (Klear®' Whizzies), chromates (Pyridine, Urine Luck®' Instant Clean ADD-IT-ive®') and halogens: These products are available through multiple sources, including the Internet, for the purpose of preventing a standard drug test from detecting the use of drugs. Glutaraldehyde affects the drugs tested in the initial (screening) test. Nitrite, chromate, halogens and other oxidizing adulterants may negate the initial and/or confirmatory tests for marijuana and morphine/heroin. This effect is dependent on both the concentration added to the urine sample and the length of time the product has been in the urine.
4. Prescription drugs that may affect test results
- Some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., Tolectin®'): These prescription drugs may interfere with the initial (screening) test. When this occurs, the specimen is automatically tested using an alternate screening methodology for the five standard drug classes (amphetamines, cocaine, THC (50), opiates (2,000) and phencyclidine).
