hi all...thanks for the extremely informative posts. there's a lotta misinformation out there that this board could help clear up.

i took a drug screen yesterday (UA, eCup) -- beforehand, i used a home kit to test my first void and passed with a decent enough line. i drank a 20-ounce gatorade, plus a sip or two of orange juice, about an hour or so before the test, both so i could successfully void on time and as a little extra insurance. at the lab, my urine was not quite completely clear, but had a fairly yellow tinge to it. it was not quite vitamin yellow.

what i'm worried about of course is a negative dilute result. i've been scouring the forums trying to figure out whether it's the color that triggers the sample to get flagged as negative-dilute, or if the laboratory testing itself is able to detect that the sample is diluted. i'm figuring it's the latter, but i don't know enough about laboratory testing to say (and i'm not even certain it went to a lab at all). i have read a little bit about specific gravity, which is why i think it was probably good that i drank gatorade and no water, but i just needed someone with more expertise to confirm, if possible.

any help would be appreciated. thanks.
