Service Description

Oral fluid drug testing, also known as a saliva drug test, is a fast, non-invasive screening method used to detect recent drug use. This collection method uses a sterile swab placed inside the mouth to collect a saliva sample, eliminating the need for restroom facilities and reducing the risk of tampering. During the collection process, a trained collector places an approved oral fluid device between the cheek and gum to absorb saliva. The procedure is fully observed to maintain strict chain-of-custody standards and ensure specimen integrity. Once collected, the sample is securely sealed and sent to a certified laboratory for analysis and confirmation testing. Oral fluid testing is ideal for post-accident, reasonable suspicion, and workplace drug testing programs where recent use detection and observed collections are critical. 🔬 Substances Tested (Up to 10-Panel) Oral fluid drug testing can screen for a range of commonly abused substances, including: -Marijuana (THC) -Cocaine -Opiates (morphine, codeine, heroin) -Amphetamines -Methamphetamines -Phencyclidine (PCP) -Benzodiazepines -Barbiturates -Methadone -Oxycodone / Synthetic opioids Panels may vary based on employer requirements, regulatory guidelines, or specific testing needs.
