Questions about home test, should i waterload for the real test?

[stickynotes]

I took an at-home test w/ morning pee today to make sure i was ready for my probation drug test tomorrow.

I tested negative with a very faint red line.

However i'm more afraid of the cutoffs concentrations for this home test vs the probation test. The manual in the home test says the cutoffs are:

Immunoassay: 50 ng/ml
GC/MS: 15 ng/ml

It doesn't say which one it is, it just has that info. I'm guessing the cutoff is 50 ng/ml, do proby drug tests have the same cutoff? What is GC/MS?

My biggest concern is whether or not waterload according to the sticky tomorrow. If im already gonna pass.... i dont want to risk pissing off my PO with a dilute result.

You probation test should have the same cutoff levels as your home test. I would drink a 32oz gatorade and void twice before you take the drug screen.

Thanks for the reply.

Would the 32oz possibly drop my creatine levels below the 20 ng/ml cutoff that counts as a dilute? And should i take vitamin B and aspirin

That would depend on numerous factors, most notably of what your baseline creatinine level was before you began drinking the liquid, etc.

Only way to know is test yourself with a drug adulteration test kit. You can find these inexpensive kits by doing a Google search.

And should i take vitamin B and aspirin

Aspirin is old tech. Back in the day, it was used as an interferant for only one type of test: the first-generation EMIT screen. Since then, a second-gen EMIT was introduced to tackle the interference issues caused by aspirin. As a result, the first-gen EMIT is seldom used anymore (if, at all).

Vitamin B2 can be used to bring color to urine, but it must be understood that with creatinine and S/G checks in place, color becomes the least aspect in determining an overdiluted sample. Even samples with a nice yellow color to them can still fall below the acceptable ranges for creatinine and S/G.
