Urine Drug Tests
Urine drug testing is one of the most reliable and cost-effective ways to screen for recent drug use. Also known as urinalysis or UA testing, urine tests can detect a wide range of substances and are used by employers, healthcare providers, schools, probation services, and families across the UK.
Zoom Testing supplies CE-marked urine drug test kits direct to the public, businesses, and public sector organisations including the NHS. All kits are easy to use, deliver results in around five minutes, and require no laboratory equipment.
