Exclamation quick cutoff question

first off, i'm sorry if this is posted somewhere and i missed it... tired as hell and honestly can't bear to read anymore!

i just took an at-home test and turned up negative... the last time i smoked was 3 days ago, but it was a minimal amount. before that i hadn't smoked in a couple of months, and then a couple of months before that. pretty casual smoker.

my question is: does passing an at-home test mean i'm pretty much in the clear? i read the booklet and it said that the test's cutoff was 50ng. i read somewhere on the net that lab tests cutoff at 20ng or sometimes 15ng, and if that's the case i feel i may be really screwed...

can anyone tell me just to ease my mind?

The test with the lower cut off level is usually used as a confirmation after failing the test with the higher cut off level. The initial test is usually 50 ng.

What if you tested "Dilution" and have to go back again? Do they lower the level?

the 50ng/mll cutoff is pretty standard at all labs at this point in time; they may be changing this in the future, but for now, that is the current cutoff. If you show up dilute and have to return for a second test they will test you in the same fashion they did the first time; but it would be in your best interest to not overdo it the second time to avoid showing up diluting for a second time.
