ORAL DRUG PANEL/ORAL NICOTINE TEST

Medically Reviewed By: Quentin Caswell, FNP-C
Last Updated: June 30, 2023

Oral fluid drug testing and nicotine (cotinine) testing offers confidential, lab-based results using an oral fluid swab collection method. The donor can collect his or her own sample onsite in the presence of a disinterested third-party collector, making this test non-invasive and always under direct observation. Oral fluid drug testing can be used for pre-employment, random, reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty and post-accident.

Non-negative results are confirmed utilizing GC/MS or gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.

TEST DETAILS

Non-invasive drug testing or nicotine testing, using oral fluid (saliva) as the testing specimen.   The test can be administered quickly, virtually anytime and anywhere.
