Phencyclidine (PCP) | 10 ng/mL | 5-10 min to 1-3 days |
Usage: The 10 Panel Oral Swab Drug Test is ideal for use by employers, healthcare facilities, and individuals seeking to detect recent drug use quickly and accurately. The donor provides a saliva sample by swabbing the inside of their mouth, which is then inserted into the test cube. After waiting for 10 minutes, the results are visible on the side of the test cube.
Advantages of Saliva Testing
Ease and Convenience: The 5 Panel Saliva Drug Test is easy to administer and far less intrusive than traditional urine tests. It eliminates the need for restroom use and the discomfort associated with handling urine samples. Furthermore, the entire collection process can be conducted under direct supervision, greatly reducing the chances of tampering.
Short Detection Window: Saliva drug tests offer the shortest detection window compared to other drug testing methods. Drugs can be detected in saliva within hours of use, but they remain detectable for only 24-72 hours, depending on the substance. Unlike urine or hair tests, which have longer detection periods, oral fluid tests are ideal for identifying recent drug use or current intoxication.
Versatile Applications: These tests are highly beneficial across various settings such as schools (both K-12 and universities), workplaces, healthcare facilities, and for personal use at home.
Marijuana Testing in the Workplace
Workplace Safety: Drug testing for marijuana has become more challenging in states where it is legalized. However, ensuring a safe and drug-free workplace remains a top priority for employers. The short detection window of saliva tests for marijuana allows for testing within the workday, such as during breaks or lunch periods. Unlike urine tests that can detect marijuana use up to 30 days after consumption, saliva tests pinpoint recent use within a much shorter timeframe.
Legal Compliance: The 5 Panel Saliva Drug Test detects the psychoactive THC parent compound rather than its metabolite, making it a viable option for workplace testing even in states with restricted marijuana testing laws, like California and Washington. Even in states without such restrictions, employers might prefer to limit marijuana testing to recent use.
Importance of Reliable Testing: A recent study indicated that post-accident positive marijuana drug screening results in workplaces have surged by 55% in states where marijuana is legal. This highlights the critical need for accurate and reliable drug testing methods to maintain a safe work environment. The 5 Panel Saliva Drug Test is especially beneficial for employers aiming to ensure that their employees are not under the influence during work hours, thereby safeguarding workplace safety and productivity.
Interpretation of Results
Before you begin: Allow the kit to come to room temperature (65℉-86℉) prior to testing. AVOID PLACING ANYTHING IN THE MOUTH QO MINUTES PRIOR TO TESTING.
- Remove the test cube and the sponge collector from the foil pouch by tearing at the notch. Place the test cube upright on a level surface.
- Put the sponge end of the collector on your tongue or near cheek to collect oral fluid for about 3 minutes until color on saturation indicator strip appears RED in the indicator window. If color on saturation indicator has not turned red at 7 minutes, repeat the collection using an additional sponge collector beginning with Step 1.
- Open the test cube and place the fully saturated sponge collector inside the test cube. Press the sponge collector down firmly until it reaches the bottom of the test cube, then close the cube lid tightly while compressing the collector. Keep test cube upright on flat surface and follow Step 4.
NOTE: Make sure the sponge collector is inserted vertically and the handle of collector is put into the clamp.
- Interpret Drug Test Results: Read results at 5 minutes. Do not read after 5 minutes.
NEGATIVE:* A colored line in the control line region (C) and a colored line in the test region (T) for a specific drug indicate a negative result. This indicates that the drug concentration in the oral fluid specimen is below the designated cut-off level for that specific drug.
*NOTE: The shade of color in the test line region (T) may vary, but it should be considered negative whenever there is even a faint colored line.
POSITIVE: A colored line in the control line region (C) but no line in the test line region (T) for a specific drug indicates a positive result. This indicates that the drug concentration in the oral fluid specimen exceeds the designated cut-off for that specific drug.
1. What substances can the 10 Panel Oral Swab Drug Test detect?
Answer: The test can detect Marijuana (THC), Cocaine (COC), Opiates (OPI), Methamphetamines (MAMP), Amphetamines (AMP), Barbiturates (BAR), Oxycodone (OXY), Methadone (MTD), ecstasy (MDMA), and Phencyclidine (PCP).
2. How does the saliva indicator work?
Answer: The saliva indicator ensures that a sufficient sample has been collected. When enough saliva has been collected, color will show in the detection window.
3. How long does it take to get results from the 10 Panel Oral Swab Drug Test?
Answer: The test provides accurate results in just 5 minutes.
4. How long can drugs be detected in saliva?
Answer: Saliva testing can detect drug use within the last 5 minutes to 72 hours, depending on the drug. For example, marijuana can be detected within a few minutes and up to 24 hours, while cocaine can be detected for up to 3 days.
5. Why is saliva testing beneficial for marijuana detection in legal states?
Answer: Saliva testing detects the psychoactive parent drug rather than the metabolite, which is the only legal way to test for marijuana in some states where recreational use is legal. This method helps employers to ensure that employees are not under the influence during work hours.
6. Can the test results be photocopied for record-keeping?
Answer: Yes, the design of the test allows for easy photocopying of the results, making it ideal for maintaining accurate records.
7. How does the observed collection process work?
Answer: The donor places the swab in their mouth, and the collection is observed by the test administrator. This process takes about 3 minutes and prevents tampering or cheating.
