Oral Fluid Drug Testing


Oral fluid drug testing.

Is an ideal method of drug testing for ’cause’ as it is capable of providing an ‘under the influence’ result which is important for workplace drug testing procedures.

There are considerable advantages over traditional urine drug tests:

Next Generation Oral Fluid Drug Testing

The Orascan ‘mouthwash’ is the latest in oral fluid drug testing technology and only available here.  This unique and non-invasive process gathers a sample of oral fluid from the mouth by means of a non-toxic pleasant mouthwash.  The mouth sample is then expelled into a cup and sent for laboratory analysis.  This simple process avoids messy urines, complicated and intrusive mouth swabs and inadequate sweat patches.

The nature of the Orascan mouth wash means there is only ONE SAMPLE collected (sub-divided into: 2-A and B) to analyse and therefore avoiding problems of potential ‘false negative/positive’ from different swabs.
