Common use of Processing Samples Clause in Contracts

Processing Samples. (1) The testing or processing phase shall consist of a two-step procedure: (a) Initial screening step, and (b) Confirmation step. (2) The sample is first tested using a screening procedure. A specimen testing positive will undergo an additional confirmatory test. An initial positive report should not be considered positive; rather, it should be classified as confirmation pending. (3) A confirmatory test shall be done by chromatograph/mass spectrometer. In those cases where the second test confirms the presence of drug(s) in the sample in excess of the confirmation levels listed below, the sample will be retained for twelve (12) months to allow further testing in case of dispute. After a confirmed positive test, the employee has the right to receive a sample from the specimen by directing the City’s designated laboratory (in a signed writing), to send the sample directly to another certified laboratory. (4) If the initial screening test is positive, the confirming test shall be run by a second certified laboratory.
