Saliva Drug Test Kits
Saliva drug testing kits are single use devices that test samples of oral fluid to provide an indication of drugs in the system. Most of the involve a simple two-step process: 1. The collection of saliva with a sponge or swab. 2. The testing and analysation of a sample of saliva for traces of substances (which can usually be achieved in under 10 minutes on-site). How far back a substance can be traced depends on a variety of factors including the sensitivity of the test, the type of substance being tested and how much the substance may have been used. The general detection window in oral fluids is 5 to 48 hours but can vary.
Saliva drug testing in the workplace
Saliva drug tests are the most commonly conducted drug tests in the workplace. In addition, saliva drug testing is more cost-effective and faster than alternatives such as urine and hair testing. These non-invasive and easy to use kits allow you to test employees anywhere and at any time. Perfect for the use of at home or small business drug testing, all MediNat oral screening tests can identify between five and seven substance classes simultaneously.
Devices made and tested in full ISO & quality-controlled environments
All MediNat drug testing kits are laboratory tested to ensure they meet rigorous Australian detection requirements before release. The Australian Standard for saliva drug testing (AS 4760:200) outlines the regulations surrounding cut-off levels for a variety on-site saliva drug test kits used to detect the primary drug classes. Saliva drug testing is like other drug testing forms, such as urine and hair testing, in that an initial screening test can be used to determine a negative test result. With MediNat, you can be confident you are receiving the most accurate reading possible. Any samples that produce a positive or inconclusive result require to be sent off to a confirmatory laboratory for further analysis. Only a confirmatory laboratory can determine if a person's saliva sample is ‘positive’.
