After the prisoner has provided his/her sample, it is important to wait until the substance strips have provided a result. If the prisoner is positive for 1-3 individual substances, tick the boxes that coincide with the cup result.

Step 2: Example

For example, the prisoner returns a positive result for;

Amphetamines (AMP), Cannabis (THC), and Buprenorphine (BUP)

NB: Creatinine is a mandatory test

Step 3: Standard Immunoassay ScreenIn the instance that the cup is faulty (eg, cup shows nil temperature, adulteration strip shows nil result or the substance strips show nil result), sample adulteration is suspected OR the prisoner has tested positive for ALL substances, a standard immunoassay screen should be requested.

Step 3: Example
