Oral Fluid / Saliva Testing

Oral Fluid / Saliva Drug Testing

Although not as widely utilised in the New Zealand workplace, an Oral Fluid or Saliva test kit is also available for companies whose own operational procedures have identified that this is their preferred testing process as a policy.

A simple swab taken by our qualified technicians from the inside of the mouth is collected and then tested for a range of elicit substances, giving results in a matter on minutes. Once again further analysis of the sample is available if required, with results available in most cases within 24 hours.

It should be noted that the results of an Oral Fluid test undertaken by your staff member may not meet the policies of all the work places your staff may visit or work in, with a proportionally larger number or companies preferring a Urine Test to be undertaken for all staff and contractors.

Methods of Drug & Alcohol Testing

The use of a urine test kit is a fast and simple solution that provides an initial result in minutes. Our fully qualified and empathetic staff have been trained to the highest of our industries standards to undertake this test process with care and dignity with you, our clients specific needs and wishes top of mind.

Oral Fluid (Saliva)Testing

Some companies use a saliva test. With this test, a sample of applicants' saliva is collected from inside their mouth. The saliva is then tested and can show drug use ranging from the last few hours up to a few days. Detects drug use in hours to days. Preliminary results are effective and onsite within minutes.

Alcohol Testing

Do not underestimate the effects and influences that Alcohol has on your work place across all demographics and ages groups. This easily and legally obtainable “drug” is by far and away the most prevalent cause of accident and injury in your work place, be it at a work function, a lunchtime breakaway or regretfully the arrival to work in an inebriated state.

Synthetic Drug Testing

Synthetic drug abuse is growing in popularity due to misconceptions about these drugs being safer than other drugs of abuse, or the thought that synthetic drugs can't be detected on a drug test.

Synthetic drug testing is an effective substance abuse prevention measure.

Hair follicle Testing

Hair follicle screening offers advanced technology  in detecting the  history of past and current  drug use.

It is more commonly used in pre-employment drug testing but also can be used in custodial and p cases.  Hair follicle testing can detect up to 90 days and further possibly detecting  up to 12 months  of drug use and / or abuse.

Meth Testing

Methamphetamine use is on the rise. Unfortunately, it may be present in your rental or new purchase . A carefully crafted meth-testing program can help protect against the impact of meth abuse in your rental. Most results are available within 2 working days of sampling or a faster turn around can be arranged upon request (within 24hrs) at the laboratory if needed.
