Hey everyone, just wanted to share a story in which Quick Fix 6.2 Plus did not work for me during a Urine Analysis eScreen test. I am aware that this product will pass most any panel test as long as it is kept at the right temperature and administered properly. However, I had a very unsettling experience earlier involving an eScreen urine analysis. I got to the medical center with my Quick Fix secured in a pair of compression shorts under my boxers. I had checked to make sure the temperature was within 96-98 degrees. The lab technician gave me a fairly large cup with no lid (this is a HUGE warning sign, btw) and told me I had 3 minutes to fill it up halfway. I got inside the bathroom (by myself) and pulled out the Quick Fix, checked the temperature and it was at 98 degrees. I poured 3 oz. of the Quick Fix into the cup and was out in about 2 minutes, after securing the remaining bottle back in my compression shorts. I was under the impression that a "smell test" is a not a valid method for evaluating urine sample during the eScreen analysis. Apparently, this is not the case. The lab technician immediately proceeded to smell the cup and, upon doing so, informed me he would not accept the sample and handed me another cup. He then escorted me to the bathroom, closed the door, and told me I would need to pull down my pants/boxers and provide another sample with him in the bathroom. This was extremely uncomfortable and, considering what I had in my compression shorts, I refused to give the sample. I informed the manager and my potential employer that this procedure made me extremely uncomfortable and that the lab technician had not taken any effort to scientifically analyze my sample. I'm waiting to hear back from my potential employer as to what will happen next.... Has anyone here had a similar situation?? I was under the impression that "smell tests" are not a valid excuse for not accepting a sample, but this is apparently not the case. If anyone has any advice or insight, it would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, BE WARNED about using Quick Fix 6.2 Plus for a Urine Analysis eScreen test!
I'm going in for a SAP 5/50 GC/MS in two weeks. How different is a eScreen? I looked it up but this is all I found. My UA is with Quest so how does the Quest Diagnostics test differ from eScreen?

Wow...I gotta tell ya, if I had that job and they were like, now when they hand you a sample, you need to smell the piss to make sure it is piss... I would probably be finding another job rather quickly, really fucked up they ask them to do that. Also, people, do you not have a friend or family member that is clean and can piss in a cup for you? The only times I thought I was going to have a drug test, I had a friend lined up to piss in a cup for me and use that if you are going to substitute anyway. Another note is you want to put the piss in some sort of bottle with a thin nozzle so when you go to squirt it in the cup it still foams up like regular pee
