Some drug testing laboratories have moved toward using the more specific mass spectrometric techniques as their primary screening and testing technique. Zero Tolerance TestingZero tolerance testing is not testing down to "zero" molecules, which no chemist can accomplish, but rather testing to the limit of detection (LOD) of the best available technology. In other words, "zero tolerance" refers to
