Drug Testing Methods

The two general types of drug tests are off-site and on-site tests. The

offsite is more cheaper and usually held by corporate drug tester but

compare to on-site method which requires expensive and portable lab

equipment, off-site test becomes the trend on drug testing.

During the drug test, they'll ask a sample of your saliva or require you to

pee on a small container. Hair and blood are also a materials for this kind

of examination. When the samples are taken in the lab, the major substances

to be examined are annabinoids (marijuana, hashish) cocaine (cocaine,

benzoylecognine, cocaethylene) amphetamines (amphetamine, methamphetamine),

opiates (heroin, opium, codeine, morphine) and Phencyclidine (PCP).The

National Institute on Drug Abuse or NIDA has identified those substances as

being the most commonly abused drugs in the U.S.

If your employer comes into more rigorous route of picking out people, they

might try to check you for reacreational drugs such as Oxycodone,

Oxymorphone, Hydrocodone, Hydromorphone, benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax,

Klonopin, Restoril), MDMA (ecstasy), GHB and barbiturates. If they're

really, really thorough they'll test for mushrooms (psilocybin), LSD and

peyote (mescaline). This is extremely rare, however.

To determine the accuracy of a drug test it should use the right

technology, lab tester should have skills and abilities and the procedures

should properly handled. The ensured handling of samples should also

considered as factors to acurate results.

Using hair in testing typically comes longer for results for hair

continually grows and might not reveal the recent drug used. Analysis on

blood is more accurate but cost much besides Federal drug testing program

doeas not allow it. Saliva and sweat though not popular have both accurate

results. With all the methods, urine analysis has the less cost and can

detect the recent use of substance.
