Test Dna For Drugs

Collecting saliva is safer than handling blood or urine.


A majority of employers now use saliva to test potential employees and current employees for drug abuse. Saliva testing kits are available to the general public and can be bought online. The tests can be beneficial also for parents, who may want to test their kids. The procedure is not complicated, and testers get to stay in the same room as those being tested to ensure there is no "cheating" involved. Collecting saliva can also be safer than collecting urine or blood samples. The test checks for the use of several drugs all in one swab.


Instructions


1. Collect saliva from the subject using a swab. The swab resembles a toothbrush, but instead of bristles it has a mouth-pad. Place the mouth-pad in between the cheeks and gum of the subject for 2-3 minutes.


2. Transfer the mouth-pad to the collection vial. Make sure that the pad is completely saturated with saliva before you do so.


3. Wait for results to appear. Check the screening window. Results may take up to 10 minutes to appear. There should be an abbreviation for several types of drugs, and depending on the test you've purchased, you will see a specific sign (e.g., a line) beside drugs that receive a positive result.
