is there any way to influance the results of an alco-sensor test?

Drink more alcohol.   That will certainly influence it...\n\nOh, downwards???    Drink less...

You could rig a "Dean-Stark Trap" on the side of your condensor. That will eliminate water from your esterification (assuming its similar to the Fisher esterification) and force the production of more water and product, until one of the reagents is used up or an equilibrium is achieved.\n\nAnother method would be TLC, comparing the starting reaction mixture to the final product.\n\nSpectroscopy (NMR, IR) could be used.\n\nFinally, you could just put some of your sample into a GC-MS.

It just so happens that I am working on developing a test method for explosives.  The results are as accurate as any other analytical method.  If you have samples that need to be tested you can try any environmental testing laboratory.  Send me a message at steve.rocks@yahoo.com

There would be no reason to.If the test was negative when you were at work that's all they need to know.Those workmen comp people are assholes.Don't trust them

This is a "rule of thumb" that is the average of a lot of kinetic data.  To blindly apply it is unwise, but as a zero order estimate, it should work OK.  Detailed measurements must be done on your system of interest to find out true kinetic parameters and their sensitivity.

I've had to take drug tests at various times for different jobs, but I personally never got my results.  \n\nThe results were always sent directly to my employer, so I don't know how long it takes for drug test results.\n\nThe thing is though, you never really hear anything about them unless you tested positive for something I would think.   \n\nYour employer only needs the proof from the lab that you actually took the test, then it's all in the hands of the lab and your employer.  You did your part by taking the test.  \n\nIf your employer said it's been a long time and they haven't gotten back the results why isn't anyone on their end calling the lab?  It's their money that paid for the test, I'm sure they ought to wonder what happened as they have someone that they want to start working for them.\n\nI suppose you can call the lab, but usually those labs send their samples out elsewhere for testing, and if they are as disorganized as you say, going to them might not help any.\n\nI wouldn't stress out about it.  Your job has been calling the lab, somewhere between the two they will figure it out I"m sure.  \n\nThe only other thing you could do is ask your employer what they normally do in these types of situations.  I'm pretty sure if the lab lost your test (which is highly unlikely)  Your job will just make you retest.

Use the smallest mechanical pipette for the purpose, i.e., if you need to pipette 150 microliters, then use a 200 microliter pipette with tips to match. (I think these are correct scales; it has been awhile since I used the mechanical pipettes). I find a greater accuracy than trying to use a 1 ml pipette to aliquot 50 microliters of solution. I used a multiple mechanical pipette for ELISA plates; however, they often have one or more channel that does not fill properly on the first try. Therefore, I suggest, taking up, releasing and retaking the solution in the pipette until you visually verify the liquid levels in all tips are approximately equal. \n\nOn the whole, I have found that the retaking up of solution (take up aliquot, release, then refill the tip 1-3 times) makes for the most accurate takeup of the proper measured amount on the mechanical pipette.

Call a store named "Curious Goods" in Lafayette, La. and order from them.  You can get urine cleaner and shampoo for your hair but be sure and have your own test done prior to the "important" test!  You can also get synthetic urine and heat packs to bring it up to the proper temp. They sell to many oil field/offshore workers who are tested regularly!  Oh yeah--just in case you are interested and can afford one-last time I was there they also had Tommy Chong Bongs for sale!

Flush your system out.\n1 part vinegar and 4 parts water.\n\nDrink as much as you can.\n\nat the very least your urine sample will be diluted and the test inconclusive

You don't give us which lab you are doing, so results would be hard to find..  For general information, do a good web search with the name of what you distilled.  I don't think you will find everything you want, but there is a large number of websites on the general subject.

There is a liquid that can be used to test your tester and test strips.  You put a dot of it on your strip and then use the meter and it should read 100.  I can't remember the name of the stuff but you can pick it up at any drug store ask the pharmacist.  If the reading is correct then you know the strips are still good.\n\nOtherwise I wouldn't risk it more than a month past because you don't want to be wrong about you levels.  \n\nIf I can find my husbands I will modify my answer or email you with the name.

Does your cycle allow some time for the release agent spray?  It sounds like a timing issue to me, maybe you need to give the spray another second to complete.  \n\nis it really a short shot, or just a sensor malfunction? \n\nGood luck with that! \n\nCheers

the easiest way is to use a pH paper to test the pH. and just compare the reading with the one given with the test kit. \n\nOr you may do some neutralisation. And then calculate with the  amount of alkali you use for neutralisation. By that you can calculate the concentration of hydroxide ions in the alkali that you use. Then calculate the pOH for the alkali you use. pH=14 - pOH.\neg. \n1mol of NaOH gives you 1 mole of OH ions.\nso the pOH = -log1 = 0\npH = 14 - 0 = 14\n\nJust some rough guide. Hopefully it helps...Good luck.

It doesn't take much to test positive.  The stuff can show up in urine up to 30 days later.  The more often you use the higher the level builds.  It seems like the pot is already destroying your brains ability to think.  Hope you fail and learn a lessen.

Well, the easiest honest way to do that is to learn it, then you'll really know.  Nothing worth doing can be shortened with the results untouched.  Claims are lies that one party hopes are true.

what a lot of ppl here are tense about results...well i am a bit too...u can get ur result sent to u by e-mail whenever they're announced, automatically, just register on this link:\nhttp://resultsbymail.nic.in/cbseresults/Mailreg.htm\n\nThis way you don't have to worry when they're announced, you'll get them immediately after they're announced!

It depends on a lot of things, such as if you were just near it or if you were sitting in a cloud of it, your weight, how much water you drink, whether you used drugs regularly previously, etc. I wouldn't worry about it too much though. Just drink a lot of water between now and the test and you should be fine. Also, depending on how negligible the results are to your test, they might assume something like that has happened or that there was an error and retest you anyways.
