Why Choose Oral Fluid versus Urine Drug Testing?
Oral fluid testing can detect drugs anytime, from immediately after the most recent use, up to three days after use. Conventional drug testing with urine cannot accurately detect usage in the first four hours after use, thus making saliva superior for post-accident testing. Beating Cheating Drug abusers have found many ways to “beat” a urine test, but oral fluid drug testing eliminates this risk of cheating. All oral drug tests must be administered under supervised observation so “beating the system” is much more difficult. Eliminate False Negatives Oral fluid samples are first screened using an enzyme-linked immunoassay technology (ELISA), a proven method for drug screening. Our ELISA oral fluid screening for Cocaine, Opiates and Methamphetamine is 60% more sensitive than that of similar screens on urine samples, reducing the number of false negatives for those drugs. Eliminate False Positives A sample testing positive is then run with Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (L
