Urine Sample Validity Guidelines
Summary
Urine samples for drug testing should be tested within 24-72 hours for accuracy. MROs have up to 10 days to report positive results to the DOT. If DOT testing procedures are not followed, such as not sealing specimens or improper handling, the test may be invalid. Delays in reporting results, like from 01/28/2025 to 02/18/2025, are unusual. Document violations, file a complaint with the DOT, and consult legal advice for further action.Full Conversation

Thé collector did not seal the * specimen in the bag before I left the room—- the collector kept the remaining urine instead of discarding it in front of me — the collector smelled my urine

Non-compliance with these rules can potentially invalidate the test. Would you like more specific information on how to proceed?
