Saliva Drug Tests (Mouth Swab Drug Tests)

When someone talks about Drug tests the first thing that usually comes to mind is a urine drug test. Indeed, Urine drug tests have been done for decades and while their accuracy cannot be questioned, certain situations may call for different types of tests.

Unfortunately, because of their nature there are many methods that testees can use in order to cheat their way to getting a negative drug test. There exist institutions where urine drug tests are supervised but it’s hard to deny that such measures are very invasive.

To counter this, Saliva Drug Tests have proven to be an extremely reliable alternative offering a very similar test with the same pin-point accuracy while being non-invasive.

What is Saliva Drug Test

A Saliva Drug Test is a drug test capable of detecting one or several types of drugs by collecting a saliva sample from the inner cheek of someone’s mouth. This is a non-invasive and very accurate form of drug testing with a few benefits over the standard Urine drug test. Our 10 Panel Oral Swab Drug test is able to detect 10 different illegal drugs from one’s saliva sample.

Saliva Vs Urine Drug Test

One of the biggest challenges of Urine Drug Test is it’s not uncommon for the patients to submit false results (ex. Submitting someone else’s urine sample instead of their own). To counter this, medical experts and examiners sometimes hire supervisors to make sure patients submit the correct urine samples. While this is an effective way to counter false urine samples, it is by default a very invasive method of conducting such tests.

Because of this, the Saliva Drug Test has proven to be the much-less-invasive of the two options. Patients simply need to open their mouth and allow the mouth swab to collect a bit of their saliva for a few minutes before submitting it as a result.

While it’s undeniable that a urine sample is one of the best and most accurate types of samples for drug testing, a saliva sample has proven to be just as effective sharing the same level of accuracy of 99% just like the urine drug test.

How To Use a Saliva Drug Test Kit

Follow these few steps in order to safely and accurately conduct the Saliva Drug Test:

1. Make sure the patient doesn’t put anything in their mouths 10 minutes
2. Remove the collection stick from the sealed tube of the package
3. Insert the collection stick in the patient’s mouth and soak the stick in as much saliva as possible for around 3 minutes. If not enough saliva is collected, the collection should be extended for an additional minute or two.
4. Hold the testing cube vertically and slid the collection stick downwards into the cube. Make sure the collection stick slides down naturally into the testing cube.
5. Close the lid on the testing cube and allow 10 minutes to pass. Make sure the cube stays in the same vertical position as it did during step 4.
6. Read the result after 10 minutes. After 1 hour, results will become invalid.
