Some questions/help needed...

FBR:

So I finally took my test today.. 26 days after my last time smoking (Aug 12). I was kind of caught off guard, because I was at school when I got the call to take the test - I could have waited till tomorrow, but I figured I should just get it over with and take it.

I didn't dilute or anything since I went right from school to LabCorp, but I have a question..

On my "reciept", it says:

799452: 5 Drug
Is temperature between 90 and 100? Yes
Split Specimen Collection: No

She took the cup, poured it into a smaller vial, sealed it, I initialed it, and she packaged it up. I didn't see anything happen with the remainder in the 1st cup.

Since it wasn't a split specimen, will it still go through the immunoassay test first, or right to GC/MS test? She said it would take 2-3 business days for the results to get to my employer.

I just got a little worried when I saw it wasn't a split sample, since I thought they do that to test one with the immunoassay test, then if it's a non-negative, the other sample goes to GC/MS.

Any reassurance is appreciated.

My post is really a specific question for somebody, but I've seen your question answered at least 10 times on here already..

No gown, closed door, nobody waiting outside, got in as soon as my appointment was/person before me was done.

any info on my question FBR?

Sorry, I was gone till the 7th and I didn't see you asking me this follow up question. I have answered this before but what the hell, you are so polite I can't say no.

The A sample is 30 cc's, 15 for immunoassay, 15 for GC/MS for any non-negatives. The B sample or split sample is if you want to dispute the test and pay for a second lab to test it. It is not a required option. Your A sample will still go through immunoassay first then GC/MS if non negative.

Is that what you wanted to know? :jointsmile:

Exactly what I wanted to know - many thanks as usual.

I swear I searched, but hey.. nobody's perfect ;)

So it's been a week and I haven't heard anything about the results. I see that they only tell you if you fail, since you're supposed to pass..

I got a call from the place I'll be working at, and they said they're finishing up the pre-employment stuff (whoever handles that, headquarters or whatever) and need a couple more days, but I will start in the middle of next week.

I assume the results from the drug test would be in by now, so is it safe to assume I passed, since they are finishing up with the rest of the pre-employment stuff?

Passed :)

Thanks for the help everyone!

congrats....:thumbsup:
