I think that they do a 15ng EMIT(more expensive/more accurate version), this isn't as bad as MS though, I have had a lot of experience with mass spec and I strongly believe that MS detects much lower than 15ng/ml, why would they run this expensive test to only detect the sample at 15ng/ml, I'm fairly sure that it can detect less than 10ng/ml. Well I'm semi-worried because it is a diagnostic laboratory and if they do a MS off the start I'm screwed(praying for an EMIT). Thanks for the input guys. Anything else any of you recommend? I know that if I get caught subbing it will hurt me a lot more than if I get a dilute negative and I'm almost 100% sure that the unrine analysis is supervised(stand behind you and stare at you creepily). So idk about subbing... I think I'm going to try to stay really active up until 3 days before then eat tons of red meats til the test and then diulte w/ the stickied method but substitute water with gatorade/powerade.
