Lab professinal taking a UDS at Labcorp
So here is the story. I quit smoking when I applied for a job. To my surprise I have interviewed and have been offered the job within a week and just got the email to report to labcorp for my test yesterday. I am a 4 times a week smoker, 210 6'1". I have currently been clean for 9 days. Due to the weekend, I will have been clean for 13 days when I take the test on monday. I currently work in a hospital laboratory as a tech and have access to an advanced multi assay chemistry analyzer. So at nine days clean I ran my urine. I was well hydrated but not anywhere near diluted. I came out at 95ng/dl with 4 days left until the test. I will have the opportunity test my dilution method w/ creatine/electrolyte dosing, following the sticky guide, on sunday morning, with full creatinine and SG testing. Hoping it goes well, but I am worried. I'm not sure if I will have to dilute to much to get it down. From reading some other posts it seems it is possible LabCorp will send it off for more testing if it is suspicious. The other interesting thing here is I have access to a vast assortment fresh clean urine samples if subbing seems to be the only option. I would rather not, as it seems much more risky. Any opinions on just how much that 95ng/dl number would come down in three or 4 days? Wish I would have had the foresight to get a baseline right when I quit, so I would know how much it has come down in 9 days. Any advice would be appreciated.

Please clarify as to what do you mean by this.

Subbing is very easy at labcorp since they don't watch you. As long as you practice & master keeping temp right you'll be good to go. Lots of good subbing advice on here. If I could go it over again I'd definitely sub!

And you could dilute as a backup measure in case something goes wrong.
