Next Generation Oral Fluid Drug Testing Orascan
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.
Cannabis is one of the most commonly misused drugs.
Detection of cannabis from mouth swabs can be problematic due to adherence of the cannabis substance to swabs making it difficult to extract in the laboratory.
Orascan overcomes this difficulty by the mouthwash procedure, which provides a better drug test detection medium than almost any other oral fluid drug test Orascan reference
