yeah,i guess its time for me to stop for a good while untill i find work and not worry bout failing..
Uric acid is not tested for on a DOT-regulated test. Labs conducting DOT testing can only perform the validity tests outlined in § 40.91 of the DOT regulations and apply the criteria for a "substituted" sample outlined in § 40.93 of the DOT regs:

These are the most current regs on the books.

Good catch BT.
When the DOT begins to use uric acid as a validity test it will be in writing...
Yep, and when the Agency makes any changes to the regs (even proposed changes), it will be in writing as well. :thumbsup:Quote:

OMG I am freaking out now reading this! I subbed today using QF 5.7 as well for a NON DOT test at Concentra. Same story though and the hand warmers were the same. Red label that read Spectrum Labs on it. Shrink wrapped and everything. My sample was sent off to ACL Labs in Wisconsin. I too, called in today and checked my batch number with Spectrum. If the temp is right and it's a legit batch why else would it fail? If the temp was off they'd mark that right away. And if it was from uric acid on a DOT screen that would be impossible seeing as standards have not changed.
My heart is going a mile a minute.... ughhhh
I'm sure we'd all be interested in seeing on paper what they failed you for. Please post when you have a scanned copy.Quote:
