Validity Diagnostics Second-Generation Reagents Detect Synthetic Urine And Adulterated Urines Submitted For Drug Testing

The Validity Diagnostics second-generation reagents (True Essentials Panel) is superior at detecting synthetic urine when submitted for urine drug testing.

DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, August 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Validity Diagnostics (VDx) of Branford, FL, a leader in urine drug test validity solutions, will showcase the second-generation urine specimen validity reagents at the SOFT-TIAFT 2026 Joint Meeting in Chicago, IL on September 19-24, 2026. The company will highlight how advanced validity testing can help Fortune 500 companies, federal and state government employers, federal and state drug courts / probation offices and drug testing laboratories combat the growing threat of workplace urine drug test subversion.

As the submission of synthetic and adulterated urine continues to rise, many drug testing programs face a serious challenge - maintaining urine sample integrity. The Validity Diagnostics True Essentials Panel, which includes Oxidant History, True Urine LD and True Urine SD reagents, provides drug testing laboratories with dependable, science-backed tools to detect synthetic and/or adulterated urine.

“Workplace urine drug testing is only as dependable as the integrity of the urine sample” says Donna Suggs, CEO of Validity Diagnostics. “We are seeing increased sophistication in urine sample subversion, and our products are specifically designed to help drug testing laboratories detect these threats before they compromise compliance or safety in the workplace.”

"The drug testing industry has been operating on a false sense of security for decades" says Garet Rembert, Co-Founder and VP of Sales, Validity Diagnostics. "Synthetic urine is a billion-dollar industry built specifically to defeat the tests we rely on, and peer-reviewed research from the U.S. military and RTI International has confirmed that standard validity testing cannot detect it. The science to solve this problem exists. VDx patented technology has proven in multiple independent studies that synthetic urine can be reliably identified when laboratories use the right tools. The time to adapt is now."

Independent research, including the 2025 study by Franke et. al. from Jena University Hospital, GERMANY and a 2025 study from RTI International in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, demonstrated that the Validity Diagnostics True Urine LD and True Urine SD reagents outperformed conventional validity tests when identifying synthetic urine. These findings confirm that traditional detection methods are no longer sufficient in today’s urine testing environment where synthetic urine products continue to evolve.
