dunno. i asked that question elsewhere and was told that a neg. dilute is not a negative, and can be sent to gc/ms.

the employer says that if the test comes back neg. dilute, "the results will take longer" - dont know what to read into that- whether that means a retest, which is generally the case, or whether it means gc/ms. i did not ask.

i thought gc/ms was for CONFIRMATION of a nonnegative, not to flesh out nonnegative results.

but i have read elsewhere that if someone has a questionable line, or a non negative, the lab can send it to gc/ms. OPINIONS?

so i ordered adulterant strips that test SG and creatine.

tested today - 20 oz of gatorade 1.5 hours before the test, and 2 asprin 4 hours before the test. negative, stong line, as dark as the control. here's the picture - http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/l...1_bucket/2.jpg

used an adulterant strip to make sure creatine and specific gravity were good, and they were.

i'll have some ramen noodles tomorrow before the test (hello sodium) and do what i did today. i wrote it all down

20oz of gatorade 1.5 hours before the test and 4 asprin 4 hours before, run my own test with cup and adulterant strip 1/2 hour before i go to the test and then go piss for the bladder cops.

unless something goes really wacky, i think i should be ok. think good thoughts for me.
