False-positive screens are the result of cross-reactivity to the antibody in EIA tests due to specific medications or direct binding to the antibody due to inadvertent ingestion of opiates (eg, poppy seeds) or use of medications (eg, quinolones, rifampin, verapamil, quetiapine, and diphenhydramine), as well as by ...
The concentration of urine will get diluted.
Diluting the sample by adding water can also raise red flags by changing the color and/or temperature of your urine; a clear sample will probably be rejected, as will a lukewarm one. Ignore the rumor going around that drinking bleach will purify your urine.
The U.S. Department of Transportation allows a regulated employer to accept a negative-dilute specimen as negative, and many companies (DOT-regulated or not) choose to accept them. As a result, many substance abusers get hired. But many of them get caught later during random or post-accident tests.
The less fluid in urine, the more creatinine can be measured. The normal level of creatinine in urine ranges from 60 mg/dL to 300 mg/dL. A dilute urine sample means that the creatinine level is equal to or below 20 mg/dL.
One of the most common false positives is for amphetamines, which can be triggered by over-the-counter decongestants, the nasal inhaler Benzedrex, the antidepressant Wellbutrin, and the weight-loss supplement Acutrim.
For 24 hours prior to collecting the specimen, you should avoid strenuous exercise as well as the following substances and drugs: Acetaminophen. Alcohol. Antihistamines. Aspirin. Caffeine. Vitamin B.
Diluted Urine Sample A high water intake before giving the sample can dilute the presence of leukocytes, nitrites, and bacteria, making them difficult to detect during the test. As a result, even if an infection is present, the test might indicate otherwise.

The presence of morphine alone would generally indicate morphine or heroin use. A specific metabolite of heroin, 6-monoacetylmorphine, is also at times detected and would confirm heroin use. Poppy seeds, which have not been effectively washed, contain trace amounts of codeine and morphine.
