Abstract
This research focusing on comparative study of factors causing false positive in methamphetamine screening tests by immunochromatography. Several medications for mental disorders can lead to false positive tests. Screening drug tests are often required for pre-employment in the private and government sector, for athletes, students, healthcare workers, for probation or criminal activity, to avoid test in the clinic, or after vehicle or workplace accidents. Drug screening results can be influenced by many circumstances; therefore, accuracy are significant. The results can cause loss of employment ,jail time, exclusion from competitive sports, loss of privileges in a probation setting and inappropriate medical care. Objective of this study is to find factors causing false positive in methamphetamine screening tests by i- lab Methamphetamine Test Device immunochromatography (at lest 1,000 ng/ml) then run the test again using Gas chromatography – Mass spectometry (GC/MS). The samples of this study are focusing on 4 groups of drugs include Pseudoephedrine, Chloroquine , Antibiotic and Procaine. The test results with a different screening test or additional analytical tests are essential to avoid adverse consequences for the suspects.
