dip test cards...

Remove the test card from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. Remove the cap from the end of the test card. With arrows pointing toward the urine specimen, immerse the strip(s) of the test card vertically in the urine specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. Immerse the strip(s) to at least the level of the wavy lines, but not above the arrow(s) on the test card. See the illustration below.

Replace cap and place the test card on a non-absorbent flat surface. Start the timer. Read the adulteration strips between 3-5 minutes (when applicable) compare the colors on the adulteration pads to the enclosed color chart. If the specimen indicates adulteration, refer to your Drug Free Policy for guidelines on adulterated specimens. We recommend not to interpret the drug test results and either retest the urine or collect another specimen.

The drug strip results should be read at 5 minutes.
