This news is about a month old, but is still relevant. Confirm BioSciences recently introduced SteroidConfirm, an at-home steroid testing kit for concerned parents.

Here are a few graphs sited in the press release:

SteroidConfirm tests for 17 different types of performance-enhancing agents. Using Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry, the urine-based product can accurately quantify substances well below regular cut-off levels. Steroid Confirm is designed specifically for consumer use, and includes a syringe within a sealable tube to minimize accidental spills or transport damage. This design provides ample volume of specimen for the laboratory and is less bulky than transport cups.

SteroidConfirm is the first known testing kit for steroids designed specifically for the retail market, and follows the rapid rise of at-home drug screening products over the past five years.

SteroidConfirm also provides a Medical Review Officer report and a Chain of Custody form for use by organizations who regularly test their employees or schools who screen their student athletes. Parents can use these tools as well to interpret the results with ease. Test results are also available through a secure, online portal, with the information being 100 percent confidential; no personal information is required.
