EspañolDrug Testing FAQ
Is drug testing at home really that simple?
Yes, it is. All it takes is a few minutes with our rapid drug testing products.
In a multi-drug test, how will I know which drug tests positive?
Each panel shows the positive or negative result for a particular drug or drug category. So you know at a glance which drug you have tested positive for if there is one red line on the test strip.
If I receive a positive drug test result, what should I do?
Confirm that it is indeed positive through a laboratory test.
If a drug test shows positive, can it be proved how long ago the drug was taken?
Saliva, urine and blood only show up a positive or negative result, not how long ago a drug has been taken.
I am an employee (for example, truck driver, merchant mariner, pilot, etc) covered under the DOT regulations. Can you give me specific information on the DOT regulations?
Please call DOT directly at 202-366-3784 or visit its website at www.dot.gov/ost/dapc
How do your rapid drug tests work?
Rapid drug tests detect the presence of drug metabolites in saliva or urine in minutes. When a detection strip is wetted with a saliva or urine specimen, the specimen reacts with the reagents and antigens on the strip and produces a color reading so you can interpret a positive or negative result.
Will substances that I use regularly like vitamins, penicillin, aspirin and caffeine affect the results in any way?
No – because our rapid drug tests react to drugs and drug metabolites, not to these substances which have a different chemical structure.
How accurate are your drug-testing products?
Our products are reliable. Our tests are United States FDA-cleared (unless stated otherwise). Laboratory testing has revealed that they are over 95% accurate. However, it is always advisable to get results confirmed by a laboratory.
Why should I use a rapid drug test?
You can use a rapid drug test to ensure privacy. This is very useful in a variety of situations – at home, school, place of work, pre-employment, after accidents, random testing for drugs, etc.
Do you think I could test positive for marijuana (THC) from exposure to second-hand smoke?
No you cannot as the urine concentration, if any, will be way below the cut-off level.
