In general, there are four methods of drug of abuse detections

 

Urine Testing:

The principle of drug test kit is similar to pregnancy test, they are both based on colloidal gold method. The main characteristics are fast, convenient, easy to carry and so on. It is widely used in individuals, drug rehabilitation hospitals and public security departments, and is one of the conventional reagents for drug detection.

 

The urine test has a maximum validity of one week (the best time is within three or four days of the drug use), so it is possible for an addict to take a drug a week ago and the urine test is negative (which means no drug use is detected).

 

But urine test sample requires someone must one-on-one supervision in urine collecting.

 

Saliva Testing:

Saliva test is more sensitive than urine test, and also has the advantages of convenient and fast operation. Compared with urine test, saliva test is easier to be accepted by the test taker, and saliva test is not restricted by site and gender.

 

However, saliva test is also dirty and easily contaminated (affected by food, chewing gum, cigarettes, etc.), which is easy to lead to unstable test results and eventually produce errors.

 

Saliva test is easy to obtain on the premise of a high degree of cooperation, so it is usually used in the detection of drug driving.

 

Blood Testing:

The blood test compensates for some of the shortcomings of urine and saliva tests, but it requires more timely detection because the drug is metabolized so quickly in the blood. In addition, because blood tests are expensive and only a few hospitals are equipped with testing equipment, individuals rarely use such tests.

 

Blood testing is much more specialized than the former two, but if the blood is not tested for a long time after collection, it is likely that the sample will not be used.

 

Hair Testing:

Compared with traditional blood and urine tests, hair test has unique advantages, such as long detection time, comprehensive drug information, samples are easy to take, save, and repeat sampling. On top of that, they can tell you weeks to months of drug use based on the length of your hair.
