About this test

Oral fluid collection is performed in full view of the collector, which removes any opportunity for tampering. Because saliva reflects very recent use, it is the preferred method for reasonable-suspicion and post-accident situations where you need to know what happened in the last day or two. Collections take only a few minutes and require no restroom facilities, which makes it ideal for onsite testing.
