As a scientist I can tell you that these tests are pretty damn accurate. They will use something similar in the lab. Any good test will come with precision and reproducibility paper work on how many test strips were tested and will have the overall results. The test I have now was accurate 99% of the time at 25% above the cutoff (50 ng/mL) and had one false negative at the cutoff level of 50 ng/mL. Do the math, you have nothing to worry about if you can pass one of these colorimetric assays.

That was out of 400 tests.
