Labs practicing in the US are prohibited from conducting any form of genetic testing on urine samples collected for an employment-related drug test unless written authorization is granted by the donor on a seperate consent form. They are only allowed to test for pH, creatinine, SG, certain oxidants, excessive nitrites, and drug metabolites.

Now for probation drug testing, it can an entirely different ball game. A person placed on court-ordered probation relinquishes many unalienable rights such as the right to bear arms, the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure, and the right to a fair drug test. And because of that, there are really no rules in the world of probation drug testing. Consider yourself one of the very few probationeers that is lucky enough to have unobserved drug testing.

Genetic testing, however, is very expensive and complicated in process. It would be more economically feasible for the PO to conduct a hair test if the object is to deter the cheating that often occurs on urine testing .
