Identification of Any Non-Negative Samples: Highlighting samples that initially indicated the presence of substances requiring further laboratory confirmation, supporting timely follow-up.
Laboratory Confirmation Results Breakdown: Detailed findings from NATA-accredited laboratories on non-negative samples, including substance detected and concentration relative to cut-off limits, ensuring accuracy and due process.
