Newly launched oral fluid drug test.

Back to the lab oral fluid drug tests

Recently launched as an alternative test to the former popular Altrix oral fluid lab test is the new Draeger DCD 5000 oral fluid back to the lab drug test.

Single swab

Specifically designed for forensic applications, the Dräger DCD 5000 has been developed for evaluating the presence of various drugs including the following drugs and their metabolites:-

Drugs Detected

amphetamine, opiates, benzodiazepine, delta-9-tetrahydrocanabinol, cocaine and metabolites, methamphetamine and morphine.

The Dräger DCD 5000 oral fluid drug test.

Shows minimal variance in the volume of the sample collected, and due to the very high recovery rate it is possible to make semi-quantitative  conclusions relating to the concentration of the analyte found within the sample at the time of collection.

Dräger DCD 5000 Oral Fluid Collection Kit

This quick and simple oral fluid (saliva) collection kit allows for a non-invasive approach to collection for future analysis.

The Dräger DCD 5000 is designed to collect and hold a sample of Approximately 0.4ml of oral fluid so that the sample can then be sent for further analysis.

The Dräger DCD 5000 is particularly useful when collecting, storing and transporting an oral fluid drug test sample to a laboratory.

A and B samples

If two seperate drug test samples are required, this can be achieved simply by combining two devices and a simultaneous “double sample” can be collected.

A and B samples

After taking the samples, the collection devices can again be seperated, independently sealed within transport tubes and analyzed seperately, offering a particularly undiluted, non-chemically treated, sample spit approach.

Sample Extraction.

Additionally, sample extraction by the laboratory has also been simplified with a patented sample ejector also minimizing the infection risk of laboratory personnel.

Drug Testing kits

Drug testing kits in the UK has mainly been undertaken using urine, hair and saliva swabs.   An innovative new diagnostic test is set to revolutionise drug testing kits.

Orascan® a dignified and reliable drug test.

MHS has introduced the new Orascan® oral fluid drug test that can detect all main drug groups by a simple mouth wash.

Although most salvia swabs reduce the embarrassment of the time consuming and invasive urine drug tests they can create problems of having to collect saliva samples from two different sites in the mouth.

Arguably, because there are two drug test samples taken from different sites in the mouth, they cannot be considered as a single divided A and B samples, which is a best practice requirement and theoretically could provide two different results.

The advantage of the Orascan® drug testing device is that it only collects one sample from the mouth.  That sample is then divided into two A and B samples which will provide identical results.

Orascan ® Drug Testing Kits

The Orascan® drug sample collection kit consist of a vial of non-toxic liquid, a cup and two vacum tubes that divide the sample for analysis. The whole process takes only a few minutes.  No toilets or complicated equipment. Orascan leaflet info

Oral Fluid Drug Testing

Monday, December 7th, 2009

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:

Advantages Oral Fluid Drug Testing :

  • Easy to administer with no gender issues
  • Difficult to cheat
  • Hygienic and non-embarrassing process
  • Rapid results enabling managers to make safety capability decisions
  • Ideal for the workplace where ‘capability’ is the issue and not lifestyle
  • Detects very recent use
  • Positive samples can be easily confirmed by laboratory analysis.

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.

  • Cannabis

  • Amphetamines
