Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about our Instand Drug Test
Is it possible to cheat our drug screening test by substituting or adulterating the specimen?

We have drug screening tests that contain a built in validity test of SVT strip that verifies the validity of a specimen. The SVT strip checks for oxidants, specific gravity and pH in the specimen.

How long are the results valid after administering our tests?

The amount of time for results to remain stable varies according to the rapid test device. Typically a test takes 3 to 5 minutes to find an answer and the results are stable for up to an hour.

Is there any specific way the products need to be stored? Do they have to be refrigerated?

All drug test devices can be stored at room temperature up to the date of expiration printed on the individual foil pouch. They cannot be stored in extreme heat or cold and must remain sealed in the foil pouch until use.

Are any of your drug tests FDA Cleared?

All of our urine and clinical tests have an FDA 510k clearance.

What is the minimum amount of specimen needed for a conclusive test result?

It is always important to collect a sufficient amount of specimen in case of a non-negative result. The confirmation laboratory requires a minimum of 15ml of specimen but prefers 30ml for urine testing. For saliva, it is 2ml.

Does the product need to be disposed of in any special way, such as a biohazard bag?

Urine and oral drug screens do not pose a biohazard risk and can be disposed of in regular wasted receptacles.

Do you have to confirm a non-negative results? If so, how is this done?

All of our drug screens can easily be sent to a SAMHSA certified laboratory if requested. Call us directly for assistance.
