I don't think they are/can't see how they could be tested for. Is that what the control thing is?
Specimen integrity checks can be performed on a seperate dipstick, or it can be performed on a multipanel "cup" or "cassette" type drug assay that features a built-in integ check. Examples of these types of test kits can be found on both the craigmedical and meditests websites.

The 'C' region of an assay kit stands for control region. A line appearing in the 'C' region means that the test is performing properly. If no line appears in the 'C' region, the test kit is either defective or the test wasnt performed properly.

If a line appears in both the 'C' region and the 'T' region ( 'T' stands for test region), the test is negative, regardless of how faint the line appears on 'T'.

If a line only appears in the 'C' region and not both the 'C' and 'T' region, the test is positive.


Hope that helps some
