Oral Fluid Drug Testing uses saliva collected from the mouth to detect recent drug use. The collection can be easily observed, making it difficult to substitute or adulterate the specimen. Oral fluid testing detects drug use within the past 24-48 hours.
This testing method is ideal for reasonable suspicion and post-accident testing where detecting very recent use is important. The quick, non-invasive collection can be performed virtually anywhere, making it convenient for on-site testing.
BlueHive offers oral fluid testing with DOT-approved devices (for DOT oral fluid testing programs) and non-DOT options for workplace programs.
