False Positives
False positive test results can be attributed to human error and sample contamination.
In addition, there are a number of controlled and uncontrolled substances
that will cause a false positive result; these are some of the reasons why
labs will immediately split your specimen into two samples. Below are some
of the many substances to avoid prior to testing. Take this very seriously,
your employer or probation officer certainly will. False positives run high
with the EMIT, and in some cases this is all it takes to send you to the unemployment
office or a parole/probation revocation hearing. National laboratories state
that the EMIT test is wrong 25% to 30% of the time, and can result in false
positives from legal substances up to 38% of the time!
