How to Use CLIA Waived Drug Test Cups

Before the test

• First, bring the CLIA waived drug test cup, specimen, and controls to room temperature (59-78 degrees F) before use and store at refrigerated temperature. Remove the cap from the sealed pouch and use it immediately.
• Second, have the donor date and initial the body label.
• Third, the donor provides a urine specimen in the drug testing cup and screws the cap. Meanwhile, start the timer.

After the test

• Check the cap for tightness and remove the peel-off label.
• Then, check the temperature strip label at 2-4 minutes after specimen collection. Green will appear to indicate the specimen’s temperature. The acceptable range for an adulterated sample is 90-100 degrees F (32-38 degrees C).
• You’ll know the test results based on the presence or absence of colored band(s) in the test strips’ result area. For accurate readings, read the result at 5 minutes. Do not, however, interpret it after 8 minutes.
• Positive test results must be confirmed by another drug testing method. Send the cup and urine specimen intact to a toxicology laboratory for confirmation.

12 Panel Now’s test cups measure 3 1/8th height by approximately 2 5/8th diameters in inches. Additionally, they’re leak-resistant and come with secure lids.

First, check the temperature strip. A green color should appear on the indicator. If the urine’s temperature is within 90-100 degrees Fahrenheit, proceed with your reading. This means the donor did not tamper with the sample.

Then, remove the peel-off label from the UA cup. You’ll see the results window.

Next, look at the lines on the strips. The one on top is the control line. No lines in this area indicate an invalid result, or the test is not working correctly.

The line on the bottom, on the other hand, is the test area. If you don’t see any line in this area, this means a positive result.

That’s how easy it is to read a self drug test cup.

It depends on the type of 12 panel test you’re going to use. Here at 12 Panel Now, we have four:
12 Panel Drug Test Cup – With PCP – FDA, CLIA
12 Panel Drug Test – With TCA – FDA, CLIA
Test 12 Panel – Adulterants – ADLTX – FDA, CLIA waived
12 Panel Test + ETG Strip

It depends on the color’s location.

If you see a colored line in both the control and test areas of a strip, it’s a negative result.

On the other hand, if you only see a line in the control area, it’s a positive result.

However, if you see the line in the test area only, it’s an invalid test result.

A negative result in a drug test means the specimen does not have a specified drug concentration.

To clarify, the specified concentration used is called the cut-off level. A specimen that contains drugs at or above the determined cut-off level is positive.
