β To confirm positive results, send the cup and urine sample intact to a toxicology lab for confirmation.
COLLECT: Remove the urine drug test cup from the sealed pouch as
soon as possible and use it. Have the donor provide a urine sample.

by examining where the green band emerges.
On the relevant temperature line, a green band will emerge.
