Synthetic Urine Detection
The new science of specimen validity testing that exposes the tricks others miss.
Why It Matters
Urine drug testing has always faced one big challenge: adulteration. With the rise of synthetic urine, oxidants, and masking agents, more and more samples slip past standard labs. The market for urine adulteration is now estimated to be nearly $1 billion annually, meaning clinics and employers are at risk of missed positives, liability, and compromised patient care.
PillarsDX changes that.
Our advanced Specimen Validity Testing (SVT) system detects the undetectable — from synthetic urine to oxidants and masking agents — giving you confidence that the results you receive are accurate, reliable, and defensible.
How People Try to Beat the Test
- Oxidants: Adding bleach, hydrogen peroxide, or detergents to destroy drug metabolites.
- Synthetic Urine: Lab-made “clean” urine that mimics pH, creatinine, and specific gravity.
- Masking Agents: Detox drinks and chemicals that temporarily dilute or alter urine chemistry.
How We Detect It
Our proprietary SVT platform expands detection windows and identifies adulteration techniques traditional labs miss:
- Oxidant Detection: Identifies adulterants like bleach or peroxide for up to 30 days.
- Synthetic Urine Screening: Exposes substitute samples, even those balanced for creatinine, pH, and gravity.
- Masking Agent Detection: Flags urine altered by commercial detox agents.
Benefits for Your Practice
- Protects against false negatives and liability.
- Enhances compliance monitoring for addiction treatment, pain management, and workplace testing.
- Provides defensible results backed by advanced validity science.
- Demonstrates your commitment to accuracy and patient safety.
