Urine Adulteration Test
Urine Adulteration Test
Adulteration is the process of checking the urine sample for any tampering or substances added to manipulate test results.
The urine adulteration test strips are a semi-qualitative color comparison screen for the detection of Creatinine, Nitrite, Glutaraldehyde, pH, Specific Gravity, Oxidants and Pyridinium Chlorochromate in human urine. This test provides a preliminary screen only. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Abnormal results should be sent to a laboratory for confirmation.

Oxidants/ Pyridinium Chlorochromate (OXI/PCC)
Tests for the presence of oxidizing reagents such as bleach and hydrogen peroxide.
Product Application
Employment
Employers may require prospective employees to take a drug test before hiring. Some also may conduct periodic or random testing on employees, especially in safety-sensitive positions.
Legal or Forensic Reasons
Individuals may be tested to see if drug use influenced certain incidents such as traffic accidents. Courts can also use drug tests in cases where drug use is suspected.
Medical Purposes
Healthcare professionals may use a urine drug test to diagnose substance abuse disorders, monitor drug treatment, or ensure patients are taking prescribed medications.
Sports
Athletes may be tested to ensure no drugs that might enhance an individual's performance were used.
Rehabilitation and Recovery Programs
Individuals under treatment supervision for substance use disorders may be tested regularly to ensure program compliance.
Safety Concerns
In safety-sensitive workplace settings, such as in transportation or heavy machinery operation, regular testing may be implemented.
Self-Testing
Individuals may use over-the-counter drug tests to check themselves or family members, often in the context of recovery or concerns about drug use.
FAQ
Q: Why is the Urine Adulteration Test performed?
A: People try to undermine their drug tests by adding adulterants to their urine specimens.
Several adulterants can cause false negative results in drug tests by interfering with the screening immunoassays.
Q: How long does alcohol stay in urine?
A: Some employees may ask does alcohol show up on a drug test? Alcohol has a short half-life in the urine. A urine drug test for alcohol may detect alcohol for 2 to 12 hours.
Q: What can cause a false positive for cocaine?
A: If benzoylecgonine, the main metabolite of cocaine is detected, the person cannot claim that the result is a false positive due to Novocaine or any other "-caine" type of drug. Benzoylecgonine is only found in nature as a metabolite of cocaine, and there would be no other valid reason for it to be present in a drug screen.
As noted by Doering and colleagues, confirmatory testing with GC-MS will identify individual drugs or metabolites in a sample, and almost eliminate the chance for a false positive result.
Q: Do poppy seeds cause a false positive drug test?
A: Poppy seeds and dextromethorphan have been reported to lead to a false positive result for opiates. Poppy seeds may cause a false positive for morphine and dextromethorphan for phencyclidine (PCP). Some tests may be set at levels that will not detect morphine from food consumption, such as with poppy seeds bagels or rolls.
The body metabolizes codeine to morphine and both substances may be found upon testing.
