Oral Fluid
Drug Testing
Oral fluid testing is the hardest method to defeat — collected directly under observation with no privacy concerns. Now approved by DOT, it's ideal for post-accident, reasonable suspicion, and situations where recent use matters most.
Directly Observed — Hard to Defeat
Collection is observed directly, eliminating the possibility of specimen substitution or adulteration.
Detects Very Recent Use
Saliva tests detect drugs used within the past 24–48 hours — ideal for post-accident and reasonable suspicion scenarios.
No Restroom Required
Collection can be done anywhere — in the field, at a worksite, or roadside — with no need for a private collection facility.
Now DOT Approved
The DOT finalized oral fluid rules in 2023, making it an approved specimen type for federally regulated testing programs.
