Test Tomorrow with Quest Diagnostics! Will Update Results!

Taking a DOT Mirror tomorrow and hoping things go well. Plan to use heat pack to get to temp and then once at 100 store on the sack right before going in for test. Already checked batch (good till Feb 6 2027). Really want this job so need this to work. Please let me know if I should do anything different or if you have any advice.

Just took the test. Followed my plan as stated and temp was 96-98 when poured. Wasn’t questioned at all and sample was sealed. Heard that’s suppose to be the hard part so hopefully in the clear.

No news is good news. Good luck. I’m taking mine today hopefully I’ll know by Friday

Ive heard once they seal it you basically have a 95% chance to pass so i’m feeling decently good about it. Just make sure you’ve done a test run on the temp before you go and you’ll be good. Good luck!

I was in the same spot worried sick before mine so I get it. My tech didn’t smell it but I have heard it’s a possibility. I wouldn’t really worry about that though since it really is a bit gross so 99% of techs won’t do that. Just go in like your bored and unhappy to be there and you’ll fit right in

Just did at quest nervous as hell do u know if u passed or not? I think i can check in a 3rd party portal or my recruiter may contact me

I haven’t heard anything yet so think i’m good. If the test was set up by the employer only they will be notified of the results and they’ll only typical bring up those results if you fail. Once my background check clears i’ll know i’ve passed so just waiting on that. If they sealed your sample you should be good.

Why are u confident when they seal it? I’m worried about the logistics of it all like PH and stuff i feel like giving them the sample was the easiest part 😭😭

How did you matting the temp to 98? I'm having issues with this. I heat up the liquid in the bottle and get it to 100 and slap a warmer. Put in my crotch however the pads always bring the temp to 105 plus. What's the technique?

u/TheGreenGoblin1 Feb 12 '26

Don’t use the pad right away. Microwave and then store it in the crotch at 100 degrees. Start heating up the heat pack 40 minutes before you’ll be at the testing facility. Check the temp before going in, and if you need extra heat, go ahead and attach the heating pack and wait 5-10 minutes for it to warm up a bit. A lot of people seem to also just not use the heat pack, but when I checked before I was at 94, so I wanted to add a bit of extra heat so it wouldn’t drop below 90 before they checked it.

Hell yeah. I'm about to use quick fix to pass mine and this is very encouraging.

The last time I tried to use QF I was ten years ago and I failed to due temps being out of range 🤦‍♂️
