Testing Concerns | Pre-employment

Test: 6633n 10-50 gc/ms
Have been clean for 4-6 weeks and was slowing down decently before stopping completely; 200lbs 6'. Did a few at home tests the night before and passed. However I did drink a decent amount of water and cranberry juice the few hours before the test. Maybe 3-4 large glasses total and took multivitamin. My piss was pretty clear, very slight yellow hue. The lady processing it didn't say anything about it, and poured it in a smaller plastic container. My main concern is if that thing goes to the lab versus just going through the dipstick test. Not that confident if it heads to the lab. Do they send it there if its too diluted and cant get a reading with the dipstick? What is the likelyhood that the dipstick doesnt pickup because of dilution? Should I be concerned? Thanks.

The dipstick will always "pick up" regardless if the sample is diluted or not. The dipstick will simply read a "negative" if the THCA concentration was diluted enough to fall below the cutoff threshold.

Its the creatinine and S/G checks, which had been lab SOP in recent years, that gets urine samples flagged for being too diluted.

Thanks for the info. Any idea at what point the creatine and gravity levels start getting compromised from drinking too many fluids? Like I mentioned before I probably had no more than 4 large glasses of water/cranberry.

Any idea at what point the creatine and gravity levels start getting compromised from drinking too many fluids? No idea. That would depend on what your "baseline" S/G and creatinine levels were prior to diluting - baselines vary from person to person - and youre not going to know your baseline without testing your creatinine and S/G with a validity test strip. These test kits are handy, inexpensive and are found online by doing a Google search for "drug adulteration test kits".

OK, well not I'm freaking the fuck out. Got called back in for a retest for less that favorable results. Dilution?? I'm pretty damn clean. Its been weeks...

I have no idea what to do at this point. Do not want to lose this job.
