I figure it's a drug test since I'm going in for an interview, but is it a preliminary urine test, blood test, hair test?
Are the letters short for something?
Just curious since I've never heard of it before and never done a drug test.
What is an EMIT test?
The Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique, or EMIT, is a common method for screening urine and blood for drugs, whether legal or illicit. It is part of the homogeneous immunoassay.
The technique is relatively nonspecific compared to some other analysis methods, such as mass spectrometry, but has the advantage of being fast and inexpensive. It has, however, been shown in some cases to be somewhat inaccurate in its findings. The patent for EMIT technology is owned by the Syva Corporation of Palo Alto, CA.

Good luck on your drug test
