Urine:
​Urine testing is considered the industry standard when it comes to drug testing. Despite advancements in other methods of testing, laboratory-based urine testing is still the most common form of drug testing and is a staple in many workplace drug testing programs. With an approximate window of detection period for most substance lasting three to five days, urine testing continues to be an ideal solution for employment-based testing.

Hair:
Hair testing consists of collecting a sample of head hair or body hair, and then shipping that sample to a laboratory for analysis. Although this method of testing is more intrusive than others to the donor, hair testing still has some benefits employers may choose to take advantage of. Most notably, hair testing comes with an approximate window of detection period ranging from 60 to 90 days. This extended period may be ideal for employers seeking a lengthier history of use for their applicants or current employees. Like oral fluid testing, it is virtually impossible to adulterate a hair sample.

Oral Fluid:
Oral fluid testing, or saliva testing, is rapidly growing in popularity for a variety of reasons. For starters, oral fluid testing is far less intrusive than virtually any other method of testing. Administering an oral fluid test is extremely simple and can be conducted nearly anywhere. Additional benefits include lower testing costs, inability to adulterate a sample, and detection periods more closely associated with recent use of a substance, which is becoming more desirable to many employers.

POCT Urine:
POCT (Point of Collection Test) Urine testing, sometimes referred to as rapid testing or instant testing, is a method of testing that yields a result as soon as a sample is collected. A wide range of devices are available today, ranging from dipsticks or card-like devices dipped into a sample, to specially designed cups with built-in testing strips. Like with lab-based urine testing, the detection period for POCT urine tests is approximately three to five days for most substances. The difference is that a result is obtained immediately without the inherent delays of laboratory testing. For employers who wish to use urine testing in their programs but want instant results, POCT urine testing is an ideal choice.

POCT Oral Fluid:
POCT (Point of Collection Test) oral fluid testing is another form of testing that yields instant results. The collection process for POCT oral fluid testing is the same as lab-based oral fluid testing, but with POCT oral fluid testing, a saliva sample can be tested onsite. The simplicity of conducting an oral fluid collection combined with the instant gratification of a point of collection test is a major benefit to this method of testing.
