Doesn't seem like it would be cheaper sending it out to a test lab so that is all I can figure.
Either way, I drink half a margarita every two years or so, so I don't sweat any tainted meat stories.
Gina's employer does random on the spot in house drug testing. At any time, they can call in an employee, swab the inside of the cheek then do an instant test. Heck, if they didn't Gina would be a much faster rider.
After I retired out of a chem plant I helped a relative set up a drug screening lab as part of their job placement service. Did that for 2 years. Immuno-assay machine. Drug specific antibodies in action. Gets you results in minutes. But very expensive these days compared to other methods. Spent a week training at the old Syva lab in San Jose. I could write a book on strange people based on what I saw in 2 years in that lab.
But good work on getting the new job.
