Oral Fluid Screening
|
| Oral fluid drug testing is becoming increasingly popular for several reasons. It is very convenient and can be completed at any time in any place. This method of drug screening has become incredibly popular for post accident investigations in the workplace. |
|
| Possibly the greatest benefit of Oral Fluid Screening is that it is collected under direct supervision. While many drug users have become increasingly competent in adulterating and manipulating their specimen samples, the oral fluid test proves difficult for a donor to manipulate. |
|
