Integrated Cup Testing

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

When you test for a single drug in urine, the process is quite easy. All you have to do is to dip the strip in the urine sample collected and wait for few minutes and then interpret the results. But when it comes to testing of multi drugs like morphine, cocaine, THC, PCP, amphetamines, etc for the purpose of work places or schools, testing becomes quite a task. For instance you have a work force of 50 people and you plan for random drug testing, then you have to handle a lot of samples, then dip them one by one and then interpret it later. Now you have an alternative called the integrated cup testing.

The I cup testing is a simple and one step procedure where you are given with sterile cups which serve as containers for collecting urine. It further has in built test panel which rules out the necessity for the handling of specimens. It is just a combination of the drug testing panel and the collection cups. The multi drug panels that are usually available are cocaine, THC, MDMA, TCA, methadone, BZDs and opiates. It can also be more than 6 up to 10 or even more depending upon the capacity of the collection cups.

Mostly this icup drug test is combined with the adulteration test which detects the presence of adulterants in the urine sample. It has an inbuilt temperature strip in the cup. These tests are FDA cleared and has the unique capacity of physically separating the sample that undergoes testing from the collected urine. This makes way for the additional testing of the specimen if required.

This icup test is highly advantageous in the work place testing and schools. In these cases, you would not have any idea what sort of drug they would be using. The smaller size of the integrated testing cups has made it easy to store. It also reduces the shipping costs. It has a unique Xerox feature where you can lay down the cup on its side and photocopy the results for further records and it can be done with out any leakage.

The icup drug tests are so integrated that the tester does not come in touch with the urine. It produces results within few minutes with accuracy about 99%. You do not have to turn the cup. You just have to put the key in and push.

Integrated Test Cup

Security of integrated cup test

Integrated cup test has inbuilt thermometer strip and adulteration test strip that confirms if the urine specimen is not a diluted or adulterated one. A drug test cup that does not have the integrity testing facility is less safe, because there is a high risk for people having contaminated the specimen with dilution and detoxification techniques. The integrity of the sample can be automatically tested without having to use any dip methods because the strips are integrated within the cup and the genuine samples can be easily identified.

A drug screen cup should be leak proof, if there is going to be tiny holes chances are most likely for the sample to drain through the hole. Some minor holes in the lid or in the top of the sample collection cup is likely to let the external moisture to get in to touch with the sample thereby causing a mess with the sample by possibly contaminating it. It is therefore very important for the specimen cup to be leak proof and the lid of the sample cup to be able to close the sample cup air tight after sample collection.

Sometimes cup drug tests might have to be redone, in such cases if the sample did not have a split specimen collection facility, the sample will have to be collected over again per lawful regulations. But at the same time if the samples have been originally collected in the split specimen cups, the split test material would have been safely preserved without any risk of the operator exposure to the specimen. This specimen can be safely sent for testing with different methods if at all any complaints or needs do arise.

Split cup drug test is going to assure most tests to turn out to be accurate. However, it should be noted that some compounds in the urine might interfere with the test accuracy. Most immunological tests are 99.9% accurate due to this basic defect in the urine tests. Every positive test should be unfailingly confirmed with a gas chromatography or mass spectrometric analysis from a regular laboratory.

All cups are not provided with adulterant testing facility, it is in most cases optional per client needs, but experts recommend using adulterant testing facility for every sample that need tested to let people escape off with abusing and flushing them out skillfully.
