Drug, Alcohol and Toxins Testing
Urine Drug Testing
Urine is the most common drug testing substance.

Hair Drug Testing
Hair testing is the most accurate and effective method of finding users of drugs of abuse.

 Saliva Drug Testing
Saliva drug testing is very difficult to adulterate.
Saliva drug test best perform for water soluble drugs.

Saliva Drug Testing is generally used to check if the person is under the influence at that very moment or was abusing substance within past several hours.
Blood Drug testing
Drug-testing a blood sample measures whether or not a drug or a metabolite is in the body at a particular time.

Blood drug tests are considered to be the most accurate way of telling if a person is intoxicated.

MRO
MRO qualifications require that the MRO is licensed as a medical doctor (MD) or doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO) in any one state. The MRO must have knowledge of substance abuse disorders, plus clinical experience. The MRO must pass a certification test by a nationally recognized MRO certification board (e.g., ASAM, MROCC, AAMRO and complete a mandated training curriculum. MROs do not work for the laboratory nor do they have a financial relationship with the laboratory. LAB TEST FLORIDA maintains this independent relationship with the MRO.
What is a Drug Metabolite?
A metabolite is the chemical that the body produces after ingesting a drug. A metabolite is a byproduct of your body breaking down drugs, this is what we are actually testing for when we do a drug test.

In some circumstances the parent drug test is ordered. Please call us for details.
Drug Test Cut-Off Levels:
Drug testing cutoff levels are the minimum concentrations of drugs or metabolites that must be present in specimens, before labs will report the drug testing results as positive.

If there is a zero-tolerance policy involved the drug testing can be ordered as LOD (Level Of Detection) Test. Limit of Detection means reporting any detectable amount of drug

AMP Amphetamine
BAR Barbiturates
BZO Benzodiazepines

Common Adulterants we test with every Drug test:
Specific Gravity:  When specific gravity of the urine sample is low, it means there is more water in the urine specimen than minerals, salts and compounds. This may be a reason of drinking excessive amount of fluids over 2 hours.
Creatinine: Creatinine is produced by muscle and released in to the blood. If the creatinine levels are too low, this means either the urine specimen is adulterated or the person has kidney problems.
Nitrite: If a persons urine specimen nitrite levels are too high, this may mean either the person needs immediate medial attention or adulterants are added to the urine specimen.
pH Levels: pH is used to classify urine to as either a dilute or acid base solution. Outside of normal pH levels may mean that the urine is adulterated.
