Does our program need to order a GC/MS confirmation whenever a positive drug test result would lead to a probation revocation hearing?
The American Probation and Parole Association guidelines suggest two methods for using positive test results for the purpose of revoking probation. First, if the donor tests positive by immunoassay screen and admits to using the drug, then no further testing is required. The admission is all that the court needs to revoke probation. If the donor denies using the drug, then a confirmation test is required. The universally accepted confirmation test is Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) and is admissible in the court of law.
