SteroidConfirm™,
an accurate and
affordable diagnostic anabolic steroids test for convenient
use in the home, workplace or school, utilizes the most
sophisticated, sensitive and technology available.
Traditionally, the abuse of anabolic steroids has been
linked to athletes who want to improve their athletic
performance. While this still remains to be the case,
steroid abuse has become prevalent among individuals, both
men and more increasingly women, to increase muscle size and
reduce body fat. Individuals of various ages abuse steroids,
but it is the abuse among high school students which is a
particular problem.
SteroidConfirm™
is
comparable to World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) panels,
detecting a full list of prescription androgenic anabolic
steroids, prohormones, designer anabolic steroids, essential
masking agents, anti-estrogen agents and diuretics.

HOW DOES THE TEST WORK?
SteroidConfirm™ enables
sports trainers, employers and parents to test individuals
who they suspect may be abusing steroids. Simply take a
urine specimen at home, in the workplace or at school, and
mail to our laboratory using the pre-paid shipping pack. You
have the option to perform a confidential test (no personal
information is required) or a test with a Chain of
Custody¹.
MOST ACCURATE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE
Using Liquid Chromatograph Tandem Mass Spectrometry
(LC/MS/MS), the most sophisticated and sensitive technology
available for the steroid testing community, STEROIDCONFIRM™
can accurately quantify substances well below the cut-off
levels. Each specimen is tested directly with this
instrument - there is no screening process.
The added benefit of Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS) is the
unsuppressed selectivity achieved by incorporating a
collision cell. The LC/MS/MS system not only measures each
compound directly, but it also breaks apart the compounds in
the collision cell to give a second parameter of
identification for each compound. This
methodology provides highly accurate results.
SteroidConfirm™ can detect a wide variety of illegal
substances from the urine samples and makes cheating
impossible for the participant. The innovative design of the
sample collection device makes it easy to collect as well as
allowing you to send the samples through the mail without
damage or spilling of the sample ensuring the accuracy of
the tests. The huge range of substances that it can detect
and the high clarity and readability of the result reports
differentiate this test from the multitude of cheaper
steroid tests swarming the market today.
OUR CERTIFICATIONS INCLUDE:
-
AAB American
Association of Bioanalysists
- CLIA Clinical
Laboratory Improvement Amendments
- Heavy Metals Institute
- SAMHSA Substance
Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (Pending)
- DEA Licensed (To
ensure all State and Federal standards for USP NF (797) Pain
Drug (CSP) are followed.)
Our CLIA Accredited Laboratory uses state-of-the-art Liquid
Chromatography (HPLC) with Mass Spectrometry X2 (LC/MS/MS)
technology to determine the amount of lead present.
DETECTION
TIME FRAME
The window of detection for steroids varies drastically. At
the low end of the spectrum the window is only 2-3 days. On
the high end, a couple of months. Steroids, similar to THC,
are not water soluble. With testosterone, because it occurs
naturally you will almost always detect the hormone. It is
necessary to test for testosterone because the body adjusts
natural production of the hormone when it is introduced to
synthetic steroids, i.e. the levels of testosterone are
usually off kilter.
WARNING- COLLECTION INFORMATION:
It is important that the collector get the specimen to the
lab as soon as possible. Degradation is possible. The
specimen must be shipped within 5 days of collection (sooner
than that is even better). If it is difficult to ship right
after the collection process is complete, the specimen needs
to be refrigerated rather than stored at room temperature.

available with Chain of Custody tests.
