Questions for your doctor after at-home drug testing This form of drug testing has become the most popular in Australia and has rapidly replaced many urine drug testing programs. Saliva drug testing kits are also used for all roadside drug testing in Australia. Limited drug detection: While oral fluid testing can detect a variety of drugs, it may not be as comprehensive as urine for all possible substances, and certain drugs may be missed in oral fluid samples. Saliva drug testing kits are widely available over the counter. They are accessible anywhere and everywhere 24/7.

Marijuana, on the other hand, can only be detected for up to four hours in the saliva, and up to 90 days in urine samples. However, these timeframes are based on medicinal and scientific data, meaning that individual results may vary. Workplace testing is more interested in device accuracy and sample processing time (than time in the sample collection phase). Levy S, Siqueira LM, Committee on Substance Abuse, et al.

Keep the device at room temperature before the drug test.These drug tests are available as over-the-counter products at all the major pharmacies and stores, in the form of strips, which are dipped in the collected urine sample. These strips perform a biochemical reaction with the pee, measuring the concentration of drug metabolites in the solution. When comparing saliva and urine drug tests, no method is generally better. What is best for one situation might not be the right option for another.

Whether or not you have a positive test will depend on a variety of factors including how much you’ve taken, the potency of the dose, other drugs you may have used at the same time, and your body's metabolism. Krotulski AJ, et al. (2018). Field detection of drugs of abuse in oral fluid using the Alere™ DDS®2 mobile test system with confirmation by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). DOI: Genuine results. Supervised testing ensures individuals provide a genuine sample. Behind closed doors, an individual may substitute their urine for another’s “clean” urine or synthetic urine that appears to be identical to the real thing. In most cases, an administrator is present to assist or observe saliva sample collection.We highly recommended that you buy home drug tests that are not a part of a detox kit you’re using. The codes for the individual drugs are printed on the test kit next to the window so you will be able to see which drug was detected. Hairconfirm Express hair drug test is highly recommended to parents that wish to safely test their children for marijuana, cocaine and other substances at home. Though pricier, this type of test allows for complete confidentiality and discretion.

All the saliva drug testing kits have a shorter window of detection than the urine drug tests are ideal for workplace drug testing where you wish to know if someone is under the influence of drugs while at work or if you need to establish if someone has appropriate levels to return to work if they have taken a drug.
