Features and Benefits:
- The 5 in 1 Saliva Drug Test will test for the 5 most commonly abused street drugs in the UK.
- The test is designed specifically to make testing simpler and cleaner for both the tester and the person being tested. Its unique design allows you to add additional saliva to the test if it appears that not enough sample was initially taken
Description:
The following substances can be detected with the individual tolerance limit (cut-off):
- Amphetamines (AMP = 50ng/ml)
- Cannabis (THC = 50ng/ml)
- Cocaine (COC = 20ng/ml)
- Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA = 50ng/ml)
- Opiates (OPI = 40ng/ml)
How do drugs get into the saliva?
The salivary glands are only separated from the surrounding blood vessels by a thin skin. Active ingredients such as drugs and medicines penetrate this membrane and pass from the blood into the saliva. For this reason, test results in blood and saliva are very similar.
What are the differences between saliva and urine tests?
The saliva test is, in contrast to the blood test, non-invasive and therefore easy to perform everywhere.
The results for drugs such as cocaine, opiates, amphetamines and methamphetamines are almost identical to the results of blood analyzes as the transition from blood to saliva is very successful. Although THC enters the saliva to a lesser extent, as THC accumulates in the oral cavity during smoking, it also provides reliable evidence
What advantages does the saliva test offer in contrast to a urine test?
Saliva tests are a very efficient and reliable method of detecting drugs due to their high level of agreement with the confirmation analysis in the blood. In contrast to urine tests, a manipulation of saliva samples is almost impossible because the test can be monitored at any time without harming the privacy of the test person.
