Benefits Of Instant Saliva Drug Testing versus Urine Drug Testing
Observed Collection: Instant saliva drug testing kits allow for the donor to provide specimen samples in any setting, eliminating the need to use the bathroom to provide samples, which eliminates obstacles like “shy bladder syndrome”
Non-Invasive: This method is comfortable for the donor - an oral swab drug test involves only a collection swab to be placed in their mouth for 5-10 minutes. No more hassles sending donors to a lab for urine collections.
Quick Results: Visual results are available within minutes, facilitating prompt decision-making.
Recent Use Detection: Ideal for identifying recent drug use, particularly within the last 48 hours.
Tamper Resistant: Urine test samples are more susceptible to being tampered with in the collection area (bathroom) by adding or exchanging substances in the collection cup. An oral fluid drug test is near tamper-proof, so long as the collector ensures the donor has not had anything to eat or drink within the last 15 minutes.
Comprehensive Panel Selection: Our catalog offers 9 different panels to choose from, including our most popular 10 panel drug test.We also have panels that exclude THC or include alcohol which are becoming increasingly popular with the ever-changing state-by-state regulations for what is and is not legal.
Cocaine, Opiates, Methamphetamines, Benzodiazepines, Amphetamines, Barbiturates, Buprenorphine, Oxycodone and Phencyclidine. This is a new testing configuration which excludes the THC panel
As a general rule of thumb, the detection window for any drug metabolite found in a saliva sample is up to 48 hours. This is because drug metabolites work their way through our saliva glands much quicker as opposed to urine based testing. Although the detection windows are shorter for mouth swab drug tests, the cutoff levels are much more sensitive which helps increase detection rates for recent drug abuse.

Saliva Testing Facts
This at home saliva drug test (or at the office) is designed for screening the presence of drugs and their metabolites in oral fluid. Utilizing lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay, it allows for the qualitative detection of major drugs of abuse through oral fluid specimens. With this type of test, you can test for anywhere between 5 and 12 different substances and test results are available in minutes with a single sample. The detection window for THC and other metabolites in oral fluid is typically around 48 hours. For enhanced accuracy, it is recommended to send both positive (also known as non negative) results to a laboratory for LC/MS confirmatory testing, which helps verify proper test performance and potential substance abuse.
Saliva Testing Accuracy
These at home mouth swab tests provide reliable preliminary screening results. These types of rapid saliva test kits are highly accurate when administered properly. However as with any type of rapid drug test, it is highly recommended to confirm results through laboratory confirmations (LC/MS testing). False positives or negatives may occur due to various factors like improper storage, technical errors, or the presence of interfering substances in the sample. While a positive result may not reflect the concentration of the drug, substances like weed could be detected. Negative results, on the other hand, do not guarantee a 100% drug-free specimen, as traces of drugs could still be present below the cutoff levels of the rapid drug tests. To ensure accuracy, especially when using oral drug test kits, confirmation via LC/MS testing is recommended.
Department of Health and Human Services on Oral Fluid Testing
The Department of Health and Human Services has recently made the addition of oral fluid testing to help increase the flexibility of mandated testing programs. As mentioned above, the main benefits of implementing this type of testing are reduced chances of adulteration under the guide of observed collections. Although the detection periods are slightly different (and shorter, in some cases), the cut off levels for detecting each metabolite have been carefully calculated to help prevent false positives.
While performing testing onsite with rapid devices, it is always considered best practice to have any positive (non-negative results) to be analyzed at a certified laboratory and have those results reviewed by a Medical Review Officer (MRO). After weighing the cost vs benefits of oral fluid testing in comparison with urine testing, these amendments to the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs show great progress in the ongoing battle against drug abuse in the United States.
Saliva Drug Test FAQ
Question
Answer
How Far Back Does Oral Fluid Testing Go?
Drug metabolites are detectable in saliva samples for up to a maximum of 48 hours. How fast or slow they may appear in any given sample depends on a few factors, mostly related to the donor’s BMI and frequency of use.
What Interferes With Oral Drug Testing Swabs?
Any substance in your mouth can interfere with the results of an oral drug test. The person taking the test should not have any food, drink, gum, etc. in their mouth for at least 10 minutes prior to providing a sample.
Where Can I Buy A Saliva Drug Test Near Me?

What Drugs Can Be Detected On A Saliva Test?
Depending on the panel size you choose, anywhere from 5 to 12 substances can be tested at once. The most common test from our store is the 10 panel saliva drug test.
Can A Saliva Drug Test Detect The Presence Of Alcohol?
False negatives are quite rare on saliva tests, but they can happen. The most common reason for a false negative test is incorrect collection of a sample, or the sample has been tampered with (i.e. the donor chewing gum or food, or having something to drink before the test).
Is There A Special Saliva Test For Marijuana?
Most of our panels include a test strip for marijuana. However, we do have a couple of test panels that exclude the THC panel. Our most popular saliva test without THC is our 9 panel test.
