Urinate into the cup until you have a large enough sample, and then finish urinating into the toilet. This is known as the clean-catch (or midstream) method.

It's important to note that the exact detection window may vary depending on the sensitivity of the drug test used and other individual factors. Additionally, some factors such as hydration levels and exercise can also affect the detection window. When the urine is more concentrated the level of THC in the urine sample will be higher compared to when the urine is more dilute. This explains how an individual abstaining from using Cannabis could test positive first thing in the morning on their first morning void, even if they had a negative drug test for THC the afternoon or evening before. What are ultra sensitive THC urine drug tests The presence of nicotine and/or cotinine in an individual’s sample may indicate the use of tobacco products or exposure to environmental tobacco smoke.

Causes of raised specific gravity include dehydration, glycosuria (e.g. diabetes mellitus) and proteinuria (e.g. nephrotic syndrome).

Causes of a positive leukocyte esterase include urinary tract infection and any condition that could result in haematuria. Each body system uses a specific formula of minerals or solutions — called electrolytes — to trigger and regulate activity. Different substances play bigger roles in different areas of your body. For example, potassium can have a critical effect on your heart function, while calcium and magnesium are used by your muscles. THC detection times in urine vary hugely from person to person depending on multiple factors including the frequency and amount of use, the method of consumption, metabolism, and body fat percentage. It is important to note that THC can also accumulate in fatty tissues, which means that it can still be detected in the body even after the immediate effects of the drug have worn off. This can cause a lot of confusion. The presence of increased levels of urobilinogen in the urine can be caused by haemolysis (e.g. haemolytic anaemia, malaria).
