Are there any cross-reactions?
It is possible in drug testing for false positive results to occur. A more specific method such as GC/MS(Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry) must be used in order to obtain a confirmed result. Consult your chosen lab for a list of substances that may possibly produce false positive screening results.
Are there products that can be used in the tests to give a false negative on a drug test? What can be done to avoid this?
Although there are only a small handful of products that can be used to change the result of an impending drug test, there are validity screens available which can detect these adulterants. Some are integrated into the tests, such as the iCup® AD, which has built-in adulteration available, and we also have individual adulteration strips. See Cheat Protection for more information.

Confirmation Drug Testing Services or Confirmation with Medical Review Officer (MRO) Services is necessary to validate a positive test within a DOT certified program or to be legal in a court of law in Non-DOTemployee drug testing programs.

Yes. There may be medical reasons why a employee drug test will show positive. The certified laboratory will then do a more detailed drug test to determine the specific substance and either confirm it or record is as a “false positive”.
Is it possible to cheat the iCup® AD drug test kit by substituting or adulterating the specimen?
No. The iCup® A.D. drug test kit contains a Specimen Validity Test (SVT strip that verifies the validity of a drug test specimen. The SVT strip checks for oxidants, specific gravity and pHin the specimen. For example, if someone tries to substitute water for urine, the specific gravity indicator will show an abnormal reading.
