*Update*

Well guys, I passed so the madness didnt flaw the specimen beyond the cutoff range. Test was a 7 panel IA with a GC/MS only upon a positive result of the IA. I was a negative on the IA. ANOTHER QF SUCCESS although almost a disaster due to operator error

Quick tips.....BRING IN THE QF WITH YOU THE FIRST TIME YOU ENTER THE FACILITY!! Heat it up like mentioned, if using a rubber band double it up so the meat of the pack contacts as much surface area as possible. I also slipped it into a sun-glass case to really hold the heat (It essentially held to over 90 degrees for 7 1/2 hours.

DONT PANIC. Things can happen so be prepared for the worst..............(Like low temp)

I passed my home tests so I wasent to concerned with using my own sample to warm the cup in my emergency but it did work! I dont know if there would have been a problem if I was not passing the home tests.

I have been sweating all day because of all the open possibilities and problems stated above... but hell, If I passed I am sure that you will too.

Hope this helps!
