A drug-free workplace is important for all businesses. Most organizations, especially in industries such as transportation, safety, defense, transit and aviation, require potential job candidates to have a drug screening test before they are hired. A failed drug test could result in the job offer being withdrawn.
Drug screen tests are done for detection of illegal drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines and phencyclidine, or PCP in bodily fluids. Tests may be also performed for prescription drugs, such as Valium and other sedatives, or alcohol. Testing urine samples is the most common method in pre-employment screening, though blood, hair or saliva may also be tested. While drug testing is typically conducted prior to an offer of employment, employees may be required to undergo regular screenings.
A well-planned drug testing program is critical to promote a safer workplace. On-site drug testing provides faster results. Unlike laboratory tests, easy-to-use drug testing tools like QuikScreen urine drug test cups provide accurate test results in just five minutes, thus speeding up the pre-employment screening process. These FDA-approved drug testing cups can detect the presence of multiple drug metabolites at specific cutoff levels in human urine. They are cost-effective and easy to administer and results are comparable to laboratory screening.
Completely made in USA, these test cups are available in custom configurations to meet diverse testing requirements. The testing method employs a unique mixture of antibodies to selectively identify the drugs of abuse and their metabolites in test samples with a high degree of sensitivity. Online stores of leading lab equipment suppliers offer a QuikScreen configurator that allows customers to create their own test cups for hundreds of combinations.
