Choosing what test works best for your needs
Urine drug screening is a reliable, cost-effective tool for detecting recent use of substances. Widely used in workplaces, healthcare settings, and substance-treatment programs. When administered with clear policies, proper chain-of-custody procedures, and respect for privacy, urine drug screening supports safer workplaces, better patient care, and effective substance-use monitoring. Drug screening provides timely results that help employers and clinicians make informed decisions about safety, treatment plans, and compliance.
Oral drug screening offers a fast, noninvasive, and reliable method for detecting recent substance use. Using saliva samples, oral drug tests can identify commonly abused substances— often within minutes to a few days after use. Because collection is simple, observed, and difficult to adulterate, oral screening reduces the risk of tampering and preserves chain-of-custody integrity. Oral drug screening combines convenience, security, and timely results—making it a practical choice for many drug-testing programs.
Hair and nail follicle screening may provide a longer detection window for drug use than urine or saliva tests. These tests are noninvasive, tamper-resistant, and have a quick turnaround time. They are incredibly useful for confirming chronic or historical substance use patterns. Follicle testing is commonly used for employment screening, forensic investigations, child custody cases, and long-term monitoring.
Instant drug screening delivers fast results at the point of care—typically within minutes. Designed for workplaces, clinics, and schools. Instant tests provide clear visual readouts, and help streamline decision-making for safety-sensitive situations.
The PharmChek Patch is a discreet, easy-to-use sweat testing device designed for reliable, continuous monitoring of drug metabolites. Applied to the skin, the adhesive patch passively collects sweat over several days, offering a noninvasive alternative to urine or oral-fluid testing.
PEth testing (phosphatidylethanol) is a highly reliable blood-based biomarker that detects and quantifies alcohol consumption over the prior weeks. Unlike breath, urine, or oral tests that capture only recent drinking.
