This type of test yields a drug and\/or alcohol result within minutes from the time of a drug test collection.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Is the testing laboratory available to verify the results of instant drug tests? <\/strong>A: Yes. The best practice, and as required by the FDA-clearance, for any instant drug testing program is to send non-negative initial screens into the laboratory for confirmatory testing.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Why do specimens that screen non-negative with an instant test device sometimes test negative in the confirmatory laboratory results?<\/strong> A: This is actually not uncommon. It occurs not only with instant tests, but also with specimens that screen non-negative in the laboratory. There are a few potential causes. Immunoassay technology typically used for screening is susceptible cross-reactivity with structurally similar compounds (e.g. a range of opiates or over the counter cold medications) that are not in the intended test panel. This can be caused by the donor\u2019s ingestion of those compounds. The donor may be completely unaware of the potential interference. The Mass Spectrometer (MS) instruments utilized for confirmatory testing are more accurate and sensitive. While this test method is more expensive than the immunoassay screen, it identifies the exact molecule of the targeted drug or metabolite and precisely measures the level of drug in the specimen. The two technologies are used together to optimize cost and accuracy for workplace drug testing.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Can an instant urine test be used for federally regulated or Department of Transportation (DOT) drug testing? <\/strong>A: No, lab-based testing is required for all federally mandated drug testing.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Is instant drug testing legal in the United States? <\/strong>A: Instant testing is legal in the U.S. However, it\u2019s prohibited by state law in New York, Kansas, Minnesota, Vermont, and Puerto Rico. Several other states have laws that require licensure and\/or registration or limit the use of instant drug tests.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Is FDA clearance required for instant drug test devices?<\/strong> A: The FDA requires that instant test devices utilized for workplace drug testing have FDA 510(k) clearance<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Our instant testing devices are a\u00a0\u00a0rapid, one step screening test for the simultaneous, qualitative detection of multiple drugs and drug metabolites in human urine designed for use by healthcare professionals including professionals at point of care sites.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Rapid Drug Testing Is Also Known As\u2026.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list --><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Instant Drug Screening<\/li>\n<li>Point of Collection Drug Screening<\/li>\n<li>Immediate Drug Screening<br \/><em style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Why Is Instant Drug Testing\u00a0 Beneficial?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>Rapid Drug Testing is great for employers because it expedites the hiring process.
