Maybe it's just me, but this seems like a no-brainer. Hiding behind claims of proprietary coding denies the defense the right to challenge evidence.

I'm helping on a similar case: Soldier allegedly pissed hot for cocaine. He insists he'd never touch the stuff. Wants his testing history before and since provided by lab as well as details on their testing procedures. The lab is completely lost in the sauce here. I don't think they ever expected to be questioned.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."
