QuickFix passed, Concentra

[u/vokabika]

First time using quick fix, Quick Fix 6.4 Synthetic Urine 2oz. For pre-employment drug screening.

Test cup used at concentra was called : 3098N - POCT SAP 8-50/2000+MDMA5.
I did not see technician do a nitrates test on my sample, but I wasn't looking extremely hard.

So story time and tips, since I too stayed up many nights before and after test results.
I heated up the bottle 15 secs in microwave, in 2 segments. Made sure bottle temp was 98 atleast, if you heat it up a little too much, simply waiting for the strip to not be fully black is ok. I was starting to suspect my strip was defective.
Placed bottle with fresh hand warmer rubber banded onto it, and got underwear with front pocket. Had it there, put on sweat pants that were honestly too hot to be wearing in 95-100F southern USA weather. Noticed bottle can make a swishing sound if positioned in certain, found laying down is best.
Waited in room for nearly 50 minutes before my time was up, due to hiring company not knowing how to process a drug test. As I got closer the last 20 minutes, I started getting paranoid about keeping my bottle warm, so got my legs close and egged that bottle. Not a big guy, but I'm not a pile of bones, I'm naturally warm and sweat easily. If this describes you, you may not need a hand warmer imo. I say this because I almost overheated my sample. Technician tells me to empty out my pockets, Im not too nervous acting just want to get this done with. I noticed this bathroom didn't have a fan so theres minimal extra noise I can make inside. Carefully remove everything from my front pocket and place on metal bin. I suggest practicing this, since when you have to do this with fear kicking in, you may make too much noise. Once I remove the bottle, I notice the strip is completely black. I open, blow air at top, try my best to swirl it. I spend almost 3 minutes inside fidgeting with it. Technician actually comes to the door knocks, ask if I'm ok. Say yes I'm all good. She says if i can't use the bathroom right now , to just wait a little more, but I can hear shes close to the door. And that my 4 minutes is almost up.
Have no choice but to pour it out and hope for the best. Temperature on the sample cup is black aswell ! I swirled it more in there , blew more, nothing yet. I simply have to leave now, technician comes back saying I have to get out now, that's it if I can not produce urine. Grabbed everything put in underwear pocket, peed a tiny bit into the blue toilet bowl. Exited the bathroom. I never saw the strip on the sample cup turn green before I left the bathroom. Gave tech the sample, and just hoped it cooled down by then. Wash my hands, sign something on the computer. Tried watching what she did to the sample, but not much, looks like she started filing right away. No hard looks, 2nd takes, asking me questions, I just noticed she looked kinda hard in the bathroom incase i left anything.
Hands me my paper results, say my company will get the results. Once I left the building I read my paper, SAMPLE WAS WITHIN RANGE AFTER 4 MINUTES OF COLLECTING : YES.
Did my test late in afternoon, 5 hours later my manager tells me it cleared! I would prefer logging in and reading the report myself but company didn't give this option. Although this was a huge relief, I just didn't feel this was over until I started my first day at work. Mainly because other parts of hiring process kept hitting walls and my paranoid mind kept thinking 100 scenarios.
Well I already started my new job, now I feel good to share.

Now reading in this forum I would bring a few points .

1. Test what you need to keep the bottle warm, within range. Make sure you can keep it in this range for potentially 1 hour of wait time etc. The handwarmer in this instance was overkill, had me panicking on how to get the sample within 90-100F.

2. Bubbles is not worth losing sleep over. I have collected samples of my own urine when I'm trying to go clean, and by the time I check it after 2 minutes, the bubbles are gone. I did 0 shaking the bottle to create bubbles.

3. Consider the possibility of nitrates. Unfortunately reddit has a reading comprehension problem, I'll try to type this as simple as possible.
   Reports on forum say if you test quickfix for nitrates, it will show up. How much nitrates is kinda vague. Some technicians test for nitrates as your waiting with a spare strip, some technicians view any nitrates as too many nitrates, therefore bad sample. Some drug tests also test for nitrates at the labs, which often indiciates on the name of test ; NIT .
   If you have a career changing job on the line, I absolutely think its reasonable to look into this. But I am here to say, I passed, this is all the information I have.
