Having trouble deciding on what Instant Drug Tests are the best for you? Is there anything new that might be interesting?

So here is our update on the Best Instant Drug Tests available in the market now.
Some Factors to Consider In Picking a Drug Test
- Does your current program, or even Federal, State, or Local laws dictate how and what you test for?
You may wish to review some of our earlier blogs on Employee Drug Testing. In particular, the Blog on Pre-Employment Drug Testing provides some useful links to legal resources and requirements.
- Are you only concerned with testing for the most commonly abused illicit drugs like THC, Cocaine, Amphetamines, Opiates, and Methamphetamines or are Designer Synthetic Drugs such as Fentanyl or Synthetic Marijuana becoming more of a concern in your area?
- Once you determine which drugs you are required to test, the most commonly abused, or the most potentially hazardous in your area; find the tests that screen for those drugs.
- Do you worry about only one single drug or think someone is trying to sabotage their test result in some way?
- We have single drug test options in addition to our multi-drug tests.
- You can get a drug test that includes an Adulteration Test Panel or order a separate Adulteration Panel test.
- If one specific test medium is not a viable option, including possible medical reasons, there are alternate test options available, such as Hair Testing.
- If Alcohol abuse is an added concern, there are both specialty tests and Alcohol test strips build into Drug Tests that are available.

Runner Up: Best Instant All-In-One Cup Drug Test

It is FDA Cleared/CLIA waived for Amphetamines, Barbiturates, Benzodiazepine, Buprenorphine, Cocaine, Ecstasy, Marijuana, Methadone, Methamphetamine, Morphine, Oxycodone, and Phencyclidine, but is available in less alternate options than our PreScreen Plus Drug Test Cups and is currently not offered with an Adulteration test panel.

The Best New Test Product
The NICDetect Oral Cotinine Test (CLIA Exempt)
The NICDetect is an oral Cotinine Test. Since it is a saliva-based test, it is easier to administer than available urine nicotine tests. Testing for nicotine use should rely on a Cotinine test to verify true nicotine usage.
Nicotine is the basic alkaloid found in tobacco and some plants, even some isolated vegetables. Cotinine is the metabolite that comes from nicotine processing through the body’s organs. Nicotine actually processes out of the body in a matter of hours, whereas cotinine can remain in the system for up to 72 hours.So, cotinine testing helps employers accurately identify who is smoking or using nicotine products, even if the usage doesn’t happen daily. Again, Cotinine is the metabolite that comes from nicotine processing through the body’s organs. As a result, this test also ensures that second hand smoke will not play a role in creating a false positive, since cotinine tests have been formulated to detect only the level of traces that are actually due to personal tobacco or nicotine consumption.
The Best Instant Specialty Drug Test
EtG PreScreen Plus Dip Card Drug Test
Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG) is a direct metabolite of ethanol alcohol. The presence of EtG in the urine can be used to detect recent alcohol consumption; even after the ethanol alcohol is no longer measurable. Consequently, the presence of EtG in the urine is a definitive indicator that alcohol has been ingested.
Traditional laboratory practices typically measure the amount of alcohol present in the body. Depending on the amount of alcohol that has been consumed, this method usually reveals alcohol ingestion within the past few hours.
The more recent development of testing for the presence of EtG in the urine, on the other hand, demonstrates that ethanol alcohol was ingested within the past three or four days, or roughly up to 80 hours after the ethanol alcohol has been metabolized by the body. As a result, it can be determined that a urine alcohol test employing EtG is a more accurate indicator of the recent consumption of alcohol as opposed to simply measuring for the existence of ethanol alcohol.
This “Forensic Use Only” urine dip card has a cutoff concentration of 500 ng/mL. The drug test dip card requires the urine sample to be at room temperature (59-68 F / 15-30 C), before performing a test. The dip card only has to be immersed for 20-30 seconds, which will deliver results in 5 minutes.
