Confirmation
Fees and Method
Confirmation of any positive result(s) assures
accurate results. There are several methodologies of confirmation including
Gas Chromatograph(GC), Thin Layer Chromatograph(TLC), and Gas Chromatograph
Mass Spectrometry(GC/MS). The latter is highly accurate and sensitive. It is
the only federally approved methodology for confirmation.
