Quick Fix...is 2 oz. enough?

[FakeBoobsRule]

Yes, 2 ounces is more than plenty. Collectors do have a habit of asking for more than 2 ounces for many reasons one is trying to scare you because they know what goes on they just are limited in what they can do to stop it. Another is that if they ask you for less people already "short" them so they ask a little more to make sure they get what they need. A split sample can be done with 1 & 1/2 ounces or 45 cc or mls because you need 15 cc for the immunoassay, 15 for GC/MS and then if you want to challenge a positive at another lab (good luck because for some strange reason these requests usually go unheard cough conspiracy cough) 15 more for a second GC/MS. The split sample is also sometimes called the B sample. They won't run immunoassay on the retest, it's pointless. Some collectors will fill both A & B vials with 30 ccs to make it easy. If asked for more, ignore them with confidence, give them the 60 ccs with a smile, and if they try to BS you play it cool like, "well try and see if that's enough looks like you got plenty" or something similar and of course they will. I had one ask for about 8 ounces and I laughed as I opened the bathroom door. On average you make 30 cc of urine an hour so that collector was expecting me to hold it for 8 hours??? Get real.

If you get a clean donor go with 60 ccs also.

Great post FBR. In over 20 UA's I've never been asked for more than 2 ounces. Like FBR says if they ask for more just smile and give them the 2 ounces.

thanks everyone, especially FBR for chiming in. you obviously know your stuff!!
i thought that the minimum volume required for a sample was 60mL and you didn't get any extra. knowing that it's 45mL and you have 1/2 ounce more than you need is definitely very reassuring. also very reassuring that you haven't ever been asked for more, killerweed! thanks for the input!!!

i don't think i'll be too paranoid with just one anymore. plus it's going to be a long line of contractors filing into a site. i don't think they're going to fuck around and play games requiring more piss than is necessary. this a "get 'er done" job and i'm sure they don't want to have to deal with positives any more than the employees who get them.

anyone, i got my AWESOME undies with an inside pocket in them today!! they are REALLY sweet and helpful for not only this, but any time you have to go somewhere with a small bag on you (<1oz or so). i may see how 2 fits in there, but i think i have the confidence to get through with 1 now if it's too uncomfortable.

thanks everyone for the help. this site is a lifesave!

Well, I just wanted to report back since I see so many people say they will and then they never do. I PASSED with Quick Fix 4.0!!! And I only needed the one bottle of it!! It is a great product and I'm going to have an extra on hand even though I don't think I'm subject to randoms.

So, I show up in the morning and I'm nervous as hell of course about the temperature being just right. But, I practice a couple times and I was pretty confident. We had to wait around a bit for everyone to show up and then they finally called us. I was 2nd in line because the anticipation was killing me. One by one, we were called into the bathroom of the office. When I went in I was surprised to see it was a woman and she was sitting RIGHT OUTSIDE the stall that I had to pee in. I never had one where they were that close to me and I was a bit nervous about the noise. Anyway, I got in the stall, pulled out the QF and as quietly as possible dumped it in the cup. It made a little bit of a flowing noise as the last bit came out and I was a bit nervous....but nothing came of it. The temp was at 100 degrees, so I blew on it for about 30 seconds until it started to drop. I think it was RIGHT ON THE MONEY at 98-99 degrees. The underwear with a pocket I had were ideal....that shit was up at 98 within 1 - 1.5 hours. I came out and handed it to her, she asks, "Do you take vitamins?", and I said, "oh yeah". Then I said some bullshit about how I thought I'd piss more, she handed me the paperwork after a couple minutes, dumped the sample and I knew I was in the clear.

I'll always use this stuff from now on!! Awesome. For my test, I wasn't frisked or asked to empty my pockets at all. I'm sure others will have to though so always be prepared.

Thanks to everyone for their help.

Good news. It sounded like they were pretty slack.

I posted another thread of my own about this, so I'm sorry FBR for not searching before posting (I know you hate that ).

Anyway, so 2 ozs seems to be enough, but if someone were to spill a little like my dumbass did, should I be worried about not having enough? I'm talking about spilling what would be the equivalent of 2 mm if you were to measure it on the side of the bottle.
