German term or phrase: auf Oberflächen oder auf Feststoffen
I was wondering if anybody could help me.

I would like to know if "über den Urin, auf Oberflächen oder auf Feststoffen" means "surface area and sediment of urine"?

The content is "Mit diesem test können 2 Drogen über den Urin, auf Oberflächen oder auf Feststoffen nachgewiesen werden."

Thank you so much.

They probably wanted to say 'auf Oberflächen oder in Feststoffen.'
'On surfaces or on objects' would be a distinction without a difference, in my opinion. Compare with this:

"Mit dem Oberflächentest (Drogenwischtest) können Sie das Vorhandensein von Drogen bzw. Medikamenten auf Oberflächen oder in Feststoffen und Flüssigkeiten feststellen." https://www.sicher-testen.ch/deutsch/oberflachen-oder-urin-a...
