Types of Drug Tests for Sale in Edinburgh

Generally speaking, there are two types of drug tests that Zoom Testing make available in Edinburgh, and we will take a closer look at each one below.

Urine Drug Tests

As the name suggests, these kits test the urine of an individual to see if there are traces of certain medications and illegal drugs. Urine testing is the most common method, and can help find traces of cocaine, marijuana, amphetamines, and opiates. There are 12 different drugs that are most commonly used in Edinburgh and other parts of the UK, and urine testing detects them all.

Testers have the option of using a single or multi-drug test kit. The former is used to screen for just a single drug, while the multi-drug kit can be used to detect anywhere from 5 to 12 different types of drugs. For the sake of convenience, clients in Edinburgh tend to adopt the multi-drug kits, as they make it easy to locate the presence of several different drugs without needing to use numerous single test kits.

Within the single urine drug test kit, you will find a sample dropper and a cassette. After the urine sample has been collected, 3 drops of urine are placed inside the cassette, with the results usually available within 5 minutes. For the multi-drug kits, a dip and read method is usually used. This means that the actual drug is dipped in the sample of urine, with those results also available in a matter of minutes.

Saliva Drug Tests

Sometimes referred to as drug swap tests, the saliva drug kits work by testing the saliva for traces of drugs. One of the benefits of the saliva tests is that they are fast and incredibly easy to use. Clients often prefer the saliva tests to the urine kits, as it is less intrusive to swab the mouth than ask for urine. While saliva tests deliver results quickly, they do tend to be a little more expensive than the urine drug test kits.
