MOORESVILLE, N.C. - Aug. 29, 2014 - PRLog -- Illicit drug users subjected to urine testing often attempt to adulterate and contaminate their sample in the hope of either passing the test or rendering the results invalid. To combat this common problem, TriDiagnostics provides several drug test kits designed to detect sample adulteration. The iCup drug test products, http://www.tridiagnostics.com/iCup-Urine-Drug-Testing-Cup-s/51.htm,  alert employers immediately if the person tampered with the urine sample in any of the common ways.

TriDiagnostics shares tips on how potential employees and employees attempt to adulterate urine samples for employers.

1. Employees and potential employees may adulterate the sample with urine substitutes.

Drug users frequently attempt to use another person's urine to pass drug screenings. Many also attempt to use animal urine or freeze-dried urine mixed with toilet water. To combat this, iCup integrated drug testing kits utilize specimen cups with built-in temperature sensing, alerting the test administrator of unnatural urine temperatures. Bluing tablets are also available which turn toilet water blue, making freeze-dried urine and toilet water concoctions easy to detect.

2. Adulterations of urine can also contain chemical contamination.

Chemicals as varied as table salt, eye drops, bleach and Drano have all been added to urine samples in attempts to interfere with the drug testing process. The Internet is rife with retailers selling products specifically designed to contaminate urine samples, as well. To prevent contamination, iCup adulteration detection testing products test for the presence of chemicals not found in urine, such as nitrites, glutaraldehyde, oxidants and pyridinium chlorochromate. iCup adulteration detection testing products, www.tridiagnostics.com/iCup-Urine-Drug-Testing-Cup-s/51.htm, also check the pH level of urine samples to detect chemical additives.

3. Urine dilution is one of the most common form of adulteration of samples.

The most popular test thwarting technique is to dilute the urine sample by consuming large amounts of liquid prior to the urine test. Diuretics are sometimes used to help facilitate the dilution process. To combat this type of tampering, TriDiagnostics testing materials allow you to check creatinine levels and the specific gravity of urine samples. Creatinine is natural in human urine, but low levels indicate that a specimen may have been diluted. Samples are particularly suspect if both the creatinine and specific gravity level, which measures viscosity, are lower than normal.
