When compared to urine and hair tests, oral fluid is best at detecting recent drug use. Drugs take time to metabolize and pass through the system in a urine test, and the same drugs are incorporated as hair grows, so it takes time for the drug to be present in the hair above the scalp. However, an oral fluid test will often detect drugs in a donor’s system immediately after use. This makes oral fluid testing ideal for a broad range of testing situations ranging from pre-employment to reasonable suspicion to post-accident testing where the employer is interested in assessing what’s in the donor’s system at the time of the drug test collection.

Simple collections

Donors sometimes are unable to void enough urine to be tested in a urine drug screen, and others lack the necessary hair to have a hair drug screen performed. Oral fluid differs in that a specimen is usually easy to collect because almost every donor can provide a sufficient sample for testing. Oral fluid also helps to eliminate gender-based collection site issues or potential invasions of privacy.
