Drug Screen Kit

Importance of integrated drug screen kit

Drug screening kit eliminates the need to handle pipettes and burettes and colorimeters to perform some basic drug detection tests. The selection of the right drug screen kit protects any company or sports organization from landing up with making negligent recruitment of abusive employees or manipulative athletes.

A drug screen test kit makes the drug screen testing possible at home or in an office atmosphere without having to have too much of technical know how of the tests. The pamphlet or the instruction manual will have complete description of how to monitor the results of the test. Any person with an average literacy will be able to do them. Most drug tests require the basic knowledge of being able to differentiate between the one red line and two red lines!

Sometimes, it might happen that one might open the strip to do a drug screen test and for some reason they might leave the test strip for very long time in open air or in some other cases might not want to do the test. The sooner the test strip is opened from the pack the test should be done immediately. There is no point in testing with a strip that has been exposed to moisture for a long time. The test strips that get exposed to moisture are most likely to get contaminated and show wrong or even false positive results. It is for this reason that most drug strip manufacturers and suppliers require that the tests be done immediately after the strip is taken out of the moisture absorbent pouch.

The advancement in the testing methodology and modern reagent strip designs has made it possible to perform multiple tests in a same test kit with just a one time urine drip. Drug screen test kit like the 5-panel test kit is meant to test more than 5 compounds in a simple and single dip test!

It should be remembered that any positive drug screen result should be further certified by mass spectrometry and gas chromatography results that should be done after the preliminary result from the test strip. Only the mass spectrometry and gas chromatography certified results will be accepted for execution in the courts.

There might be some questioning about any discrepancy that will arise with such confirmatory tests with another fresh sample for GC/MS. This is the place where the drug testing methods establishes a strong place by providing the facility for a split specimen cup where the sample is collected in to two halves; it possible to use the unhandled sample from the split-specimen cup for the GC/MS.
