Why choose Oral Fluid Drug Testing?
Oral fluid lab testing is a non-invasive, tamper-resistant method for detecting recent drug use.
-
Can items such as food, drinks, over-the-counter medications, and oral hygiene products influence the results of drug tests?
We suggest waiting at least 10 minutes prior to sample collection.

How does the detection window for oral fluid compare with urine testing?
Similar to traditional urine testing, the detection window for drugs in oral fluid varies by substance. Oral fluid testing, like urine testing, identifies recent drug use and can also catch very recent consumption that urine tests might overlook. Typically, the maximum detection window for most drugs in oral fluid is approximately 1 to 2 days following use. In comparison, urine testing can identify drugs or their metabolites eliminated through the body’s waste systems and may detect some substances for a slightly longer duration of 1 to 3 days following use. Additionally, oral fluid testing can reveal drug use as soon as 1 to 2 hours post-ingestion, whereas urine testing generally takes about 2 to 6 hours to reflect usage.

What is the detection window for drugs in oral fluid?
While each drug and donor varies, oral fluid is generally considered the most dependable, non-invasive, specimen type for identifying recent use. It can detect most substances shortly after ingestion and continues to be effective for 24 to 48 hours following use.
-
What is the detection window for drugs in urine?
Many labs post 1-3 days, and this is typical of most drugs of abuse, but there are some drugs that can be detected up to 7 days.
-
Why is a buffer used?
The buffer in Quantisal™ is vital for maintaining pH, stability, and sample integrity, ensuring accurate drug detection in saliva. Without it, results can be compromised by sample composition variations or drug compound breakdown.
-
How much time does it take to collect an oral fluid specimen?
The oral fluid collection process is deemed complete once the unique volume indicator window on the Quantisal collection device turns blue, typically within five minutes. Collectors should assist their donors in ensuring they provide an adequate specimen volume.
