TOXICOLOGY
TOXICOLOGY
Oral fluid, like urine, is a common sample type for the detection of illegal and prescription drugs. With an observed collection process and relevant results due to a short window of detection, oral fluid has become an increasingly popular choice for testing.
Oral fluid testing is performed on high-throughput, automated chemistry analyzers to provide a quick turn-around time. This can be crucial for employers and laboratories needing timely information.
Oral fluid testing is suitable for both non-regulated non-Department of Transportation (DOT) and regulated DOT drug testing programs, offering flexibility and compliance with regulatory standards.
When choosing the test sample, it is important to establish the purpose and intent of the testing program.
A non-DOT drug testing program is typically implemented by employers as part of a workplace screening program or by laboratories looking to mirror DOT mandated cutoffs.
Regulated drug testing programs follow strict guidelines and are required to meet federal standards for employment testing in federally approved laboratories ensuring consistency and reliability in results.
The available testing menus differ between non-regulated and regulated testing programs.
The Quantisal™ Oral Fluid Collection Device is widely used for oral fluid drug testing in workplace or pain and addiction practice settings. It allows for a simple noninvasive observed collection to avoid issues with sample adulteration or donor privacy.
Quantisal™ II is the first commercially available oral fluid device with split specimen capabilities, offering you the simplicity of collecting two samples with a single device that meets SAMHSA2 and DOT3 guidelines.
