Hi all! Thank you in advance for at least checking out my thread. I am pretty sure that I am going to be drug tested tomorrow at work, but I am not sure what time.

My buddy is going to sub for me but due to conflicting schedules the only time I can obtain the sample is before work in the morning.

The plan is to collect the sample around 8:00am. The new employee orientation is around 11:00. This is when I will receive the form to take to the lab.

My plan is to leave work and take the test at lunch time.

I have a vial with a temp strip and an adhesive toe warmer. If I slapped the toe warmer on the vial right after obtaining the sample I can keep it warm until lunch time.

My question is will the sample maintain validity until lunch time if I obtain it in the morning before work? What if they only allow me to leave early to take the test (around 4:00pm)? Will it maintain validity until then?

I have scoured the net and these forums for an answer to these questions and have yet to find anything clear cut.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks all!!!! :jointsmile:

Yes it will in a tightly caped container. 8 hours should be no problem at all. I think I've read over the years it should stay good at least 2, maybe 3 days. Refrigerating it would be better but you can't so I say good to go.
Good luck...:thumbsup:

Thanks Jeffman!!!

Fortunately it was a false alarm. I will be able to do it at my leisure!

But your reply helped tremendously!

Thanks, again!
