Urine Drug Testing
Urine testing remains the most commonly used drug specimen because of its familiarity, its cost to test, and its detection of a wide range of drugs for inclusion on test panels. A significant problem with urine testing is that it is vulnerable to "cheating" especially in unmonitored collection situations.
