Is there an easy-to-use breath or saliva test available for drugs?
• When we refer to “drugs”, we mean any drug of abuse other than alcohol. At the end of 1998 Avitar introduced OralScreen, a saliva test for drugs. Another excellent saliva test is the Oratect manufactured by Branan Medical. This is currently the only commercially available on-site saliva drug testing kit. Other companies are developing laboratory-based methods for analyzing saliva for drugs. We expect to see more saliva based drug testing kits in the next few years. There are no kits that test for drugs using a person’s breath.
