IF U HAVE 45 ML SAMPLE OF CLEAN URINE (NEGATIVE ) AND U ADDED 5 ML MORE OR LESS OF DIRTY (POSITIVE) URINE CONTAINING METHAMPHETAMIN WILL YOU TEST POSITIVE.WITH A SPLIT SAMPLE WILL BOTH SAMPLE READ POSITIVE |

I would think that this can't be answered without knowing how much methamphetamine is in the "dirty" urine and precisely what tests are being used. |

it depends upon the lower limit concentration test limits. most drug tests set a lower limit saying that the [drug]<5mcg/dL for example. this concentration would depend on the amound of meth contained in the dirty urine. If there was very little to begin with and the concentration became very dispersed it would be so minimal that most drug tests would consider this a negative result. Conversely if there was a high concentration of meth, even upon dilution there is still enough to cause the overal concentration to be higher than the minimum allowed concentration yeilding a positive result. |

The lower limit for methamphetamine for the department of transportation drug tests is the lowest accurate measure of 200 ng/mL. (http://jobsearchtech.about.com/library/weekly/aa090301-6.htm) The government is attempting to lower the concentration in urine to be approximately 100 ng/mL, but accurate tests have yet to be developed and implemented. If a 45 mL sample were mixed with a 5 mL same of 'dirty urine' the concentration in the bad sample would have to be less than 2000 ng/mL. It is difficult to determine how much amphetamine would have to be consumed to reach this urine concentration, but i would suspect it would be a rather small amount. If you assume a person of 175 lbs having approximately 75% water available for dilution of the drug, that would be about 131.25 lbs of water. 2.2 lbs/kg= 59.66 kg 59.66*1000=59660 g of water. density of water = 1g/mL= 59660 ml of water available for dilution in the body. If the urine to body water concentrations were equal which they are not because urine is concentrated body waste a person could have about .119 g of amphetamines in their system. But since urine is more concentrated source of wastes say 5x, a person could have about .0239 g of amphetamines in their system at the time of urine expulsion; however, it would be very difficult to determine how much amphetamine and how concentrated the original mixture was. This is all an order of magnitude estimate, but this should help get a clearer picture. |
