The Urine Drug Test Device resembles a credit card in size and shape; you dip it into the urine sample and the results read as easily as a home pregnancy test.

Answer: Fecal occult blood test: (FOBT) is used to find occult “hidden” blood in the stool if FOBT detects blood in the stool additional testing is needed to determine the cause of the bleeding. Certain foods and drugs can also influence test FOBT test results. For this test a kit with instructions is usually given that explains how to take the stool samples at home (usually 3 specimens). The kit is then returned to the doctor's office or medical laboratory for testing.

Oral fluids drug tests have the benefit of a simpler collection procedure. The testing does not require a restroom and you can watch the entire process. However, oral tests are only available in the six panel configuration. The urine drug tests have many different configurations and drugs that they can test for. They also detect drugs in the system for a longer period of time than the oral fluids tests, and come in a variety of formats, such as dips, pipettes, and all in one cups.

Yes, depending on the prescription medication. However, drug tests are typically conducted to determine recent use of an illegal drug, or misuse of a prescription drug.

The length of time in which drugs can be detected is dependent on a number of variables, such as metabolic rate, dose, how it was taken, and the cutoff concentration used by the laboratory to detect the drug. No set formulas or information are available to determine this. The best practice is to not engage in the use of illegal substances. It can greatly affect your ability to get a job, keep a job, play sports, or succeed in whatever life event requires you to be drug tested.

Drug tests are conducted to determine recent use of a drug. Results should be evaluated with respect to use of valid prescription medications that could be the cause of a positive drug test.

Urine drug tests have a shelf-life between 12-18 months from the date of manufacturing. The expiration date and Lot # of devices is indicated on a foil pouch. It is recommended that you confirm the expiration date prior to administering a test.

Rapid drug test only provides a preliminary analytical test result - visual - qualitative test. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result - such as gas chromatography / mass spectrometry (GC/MS) - see above. Any result taken to court, must be confirmed through quantitative tests...

Urine tests also are required by government regulations and they must be performed Ain a manner that minimizes falsification.@ This usually means that providing urine samples must be witness by a clinic staff member.

These are tests that are sent to a laboratory for more accurate testing for the presence of substances in the saliva or urine.
