Drug & Alcohol Testing
Laboratory-based Drug Testing Options
Drug & Alcohol Testing can be conducted on a single
urine sample for one to 10 drugs at a time, delivering
fast results that are readable for up to 60 minutes.
Results reported within
24 to 72 hours
All substance abuse specimens submitted are initially
tested using the enzyme immunoassay (EIA) screening
technique. This objective method is both computerized
and automated to ensure reliable results and industry-leading
turnaround times. Background Resources, Inc. offers
a full range of collection options, including:
Standard Urine Testing
One of the most common screening methods, urine testing
is an accurate and reliable way to detect casual drug
use that occurred within the last 72 hours. Testing
is performed at all six SAMHSA-certified laboratories.
In addition to the Federally-mandated
(SAMHSA/DOT) 5-drug panel, we offer a variety of test
panels and cut off levels. Our standard urine specimen
5-drug panel test screens for the presence of the following
drugs and drug classes.
Drug group:
Amphetamines (Amphetamine and Methamphetamine)
Cocaine Metabolite
Marijuana Metabolites
Opiates (Codeine and Morphine)
Phencyclidine
* These
are standard cutoff levels — alternate cutoff levels
may be available — the above test methodologies are
subject to change when required by applicable government
regulations or guidelines.
Adulteration Testing for
Urine Tests.
Test Sure™ specimen validity testing ensures the integrity
of your urine drug test by identifying adulterants that
may be added to hide drug use. All "invalid results"
are tested twice automatically to ensure accuracy. Specimens
suspected of containing certain prescription and non-prescription
drugs that may interfere with analysis during the initial
enzyme immunoassay screen are automatically tested again
using an alternate methodology. Oral Fluid Testing Oral
fluid collection devices, where a swab is used to collect
a saliva sample, allow for specimen collection at any
time or any place, helping to simplify the collection
process while preserving the donor's dignity. Since
the sample is collected under direct supervision, the
chance for specimen adulteration is greatly reduced.
Intercept®' is one such product that can be used to
accurately detect the 5 most common classes of drugs,
including Ecstasy.
