Nothing in regards to synthetics, thats for sure. As Ive already stated, a "failing" synthetic batch would not be ruled "inconclusive" It would be ruled a "Substituted specimen". This is not coming from me - this is coming straight from the DHHS regulations on Specimen Validity Guidance in which all certified facilities have to abide by.



and that IS the only thing anyone would tell me about this....just that it was inconclusive....thats it! nothing noted/stated anywhere....
And you shouldve raised hell about it if what youre stating is true. Because with any ruling that is not a straight-up "negative", the MRO must provide the reason(s) for the ruling, complete with quantitative values to support the ruling. In short, the burden is on the labs to prove why a sample would not obtain a passing grade. Something as incomplete as "inconclusive - nothing else" is not sufficent from an evidentiary standpoint and should never be accepted as if it were a stick of gum.
