Ref# 40007 Adulteration Pads are a semi-quantitative, color comparison screen for the detection of creatinine, nitrite, glutaraldehyde, pH, specific gravity, and oxidants-pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) in human urine. \u200b25 Tests per Bottle.<\/p>\n
Creatinine: is a waste product of creatine; an amino-acid contained in muscle tissue and found in urine. \u200b A person may attempt to foil a test by drinking excessive amounts of water or diuretics such as herbal teas to \u201cflush\u201d the system. \u200b Creatinine and specific gravity are two ways to check for dilution and flushing, which are the most common mechanisms used in an attempt to circumvent drug testing. \u200b Low creatinine and specific gravity levels may indicate dilute urine. \u200b The absence of creatinine (<5mg\/dL) is indicative of a specimen not consistent with human urine.<\/p>\n
Specific Gravity: \u200b tests for sample dilution. \u200b The normal range is from 1.003 to 1.030. \u200b Values outside this range may be the result of specimen dilution or adulteration.<\/p>\n
Nitrite: \u200b tests for commonly used commercial adulterants such as Klear or Whizzies. \u200b They work by oxidizing the major cannabinoid metabolite THC-COOH. Normal urine should contain no trace of nitrite. \u200b Positive results generally indicate the presence of an adulterant.<\/p>\n
Glutaraldehyde: \u200b tests for the presence of an aldehyde.\u00a0 \u200bAdulterants such as UrinAid and Clear Choice contain glutaraldehyde which may cause false negative screening results by disrupting the enzyme used in some immunoassay tests. \u200b Glutaraldehyde is not normally found in urine; therefore, detection of glutaraldehyde in a urine specimen is generally an indicator of adulteration.<\/p>\n
pH: \u200b tests for the presence of acidic or alkaline adulterants in urine. \u200b \u200b Normal pH levels should be in the range of 4.0 to 9.0. \u200b Values outside of this range may indicate the sample has been altered.<\/p>\n
Oxidants\/PCC (Pyridinium Chlorochromate): \u200b tests for the presence of oxidizing agents such as bleach and hydrogen peroxide. \u200b Pyridinium chlorochromate (sold under the brand name UrineLuck) is a commonly used adulterant. \u200b Normal human urine should not contain oxidants or PCC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
