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.
