Has easy availability of antibody-based test kits changed the industry much in the time you've been working?

Do the peoplr ordering the tests run mostly want to know "was this person currently affected by drugs?" or "does this person consume drugs at all?" ?

So basically you're testing people before they start work for the day to ensure they are currently safe to operate heavy equipment? And the same person will get tested again tomorrow by someone else at a different site?

How often do you run into somebody hosed up on some new research-chemical that you don't even have a test for yet?

Are the new opiod analogues (carfentanyl etc) a challenge to test for given how low a concentration is needed to make someone unsafe to work?

I know you're limited in how much you can talk about this, but does the standard bulk test include various biomarkers to confirm that this is real bodily fluid from an actual live human being? Or is that a 'deluxe' feature?

If i'm reading those guidelines correctly the proctor doesn't actually see the donor's genital area, just their thighs. So you could stay stealth.
