First sub this week..need a vote of confidence

[killerweed420]

Because someone else's urine isn't 100%. We've had a couple posters here where they decided to do that only to find out the donor was on prescription drugs. Its worth $20 to KNOW that you're going to pass the UA and not risk your career.

Besides the scripted meds issue that Killer pointed out, how would you know for sure that the sub donor hasnt ingested large amounts of fluids prior to donating their urine to you, which can result in a ''diluted'' sample?

Call me old-fashioned, but I find something unnerving holding someone else's urine in my crotch

Well I know a couple of ppl who are certainties, but I am taking a test soon and I don't have enough time to wait for the shipping of the QF

I have my test the 16th. I leave work and go about 2 blocks away for the test. The QF is in the mail and should be here friday or monday at the latest. I may not have access to a microwave Killer, Is this an issue? Can't I just crotch the bottle for a few hours to warm it or may this not be enough?

I could use the microwave at home at 8 30 am but the test isn't until 2pm. I do have other hand warmers around if the one provided doesn't work. I may just wrap the bottle in a warmer or two. How much can I trust the temp strip on the QF bottle? Should I grab a digi and check it right before I go in the building?

I would nuke it and get it to about 100 and crotch it. Then use the heat strip on it about an hour before the UA. Might be a good idea to have a couple extra heat strips.
I like to have a digital thermometer on me just to double check temp.
If the temp should still be a little to low during the UA. After you pour the QF in the cup, rub your thumb against your pants and hold your thumb on the temp strip for a few seconds and then walk right out and hand the cup to the tech.

Ok...so I am supposed to go for me UA tomorrow...and I am feeling pretty good about the whole subbing thing but my one issue at this point is I can't get over how QF smells like basically..nothing. I've read on here that it's not unusual for urine to not have an odor but I mean, if someone smells it and it's odorless..is that an immediate red flag? Can they fail based on lack of odor?

Nope. An absence of odor can occur in human samples as well as synthetic.

The red flags are raised when a collector catches wind of any unusual odor thats not supposed to be present in human urine (ie; bleach, household chemicals, gasoline, etc.)

Other than that, the collectors are not gonna arbitarily take a sniff of every urine sample. Thats disgusting.
