FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions about 12-panel saliva drug tests. If your question isn’t covered, feel free to contact us.

Q1. What substances are included in a 12-panel saliva drug test?
A typical 12-panel saliva test will detect substances such as:

• Cannabis (THC)
• Cocaine
• Amphetamines
• Methamphetamines
• Opiates (e.g. morphine, codeine)
• Benzodiazepines
• Methadone
• Buprenorphine
• Ecstasy / MDMA
• Ketamine
• Synthetic cannabinoids (K2 / K3)
• Oxycodone or other less common substances like PCP or barbiturates depending on the kit

(Some of our 12 panel saliva drug test kits also include alcohol + other specific drugs; always check the exact 12 panel for each product.)

Q2. How soon after drug use can the 12 panel saliva tests detect substances?
Saliva tests are generally good for detecting very recent drug use — often from a few minutes/hours after consumption up to around 24-48 hours, depending on the substance. Some drugs may be detectable longer, others shorter. They are less useful for detecting long-term or past drug use like urine or hair tests might capture.

Q3. How accurate are these 12 panel saliva drug tests? Can they give false positives or negatives?
They are very accurate when used properly, but no test is perfect. Factors that can affect results include: improper  sample collection, interfering substances (food, drink, tobacco), timing of the test, or sensitivity thresholds. Positive results (especially in workplace / legal contexts) should always be confirmed with more specific laboratory drug testing.

Q4. How do I use a 12-panel saliva drug test?

• The individual being tested should not eat, drink, smoke or chew gum for a short time before the test (as instructed) to avoid contamination.
• Use the swab to collect a large sample of saliva and oral fluid as per the test kit instructions (under tongue / inside cheek). A 12 panel oral drug test requires more saliva to run the tests than a smaller drug test panel. The more tests on the panel , the more saliva is required.
• Wait the specified time for the test result (often 5-10 minutes).
• Read control lines to ensure all the tests have worked worked; then read test lines.
• More saliva may be added to the test kit if not all the membranes have control lines.

Q5. How soon will the results be available?
Most 12 panel saliva drug tests produce results in 5-15 minutes. The exact time depends on the brand / product; always check the instructions included in the particular kit.

Q6. Can I use the test for legal / employment purposes?
Yes — many 12-panel saliva drug tests are designed for workplace / employer-led drug screening, especially when immediate or on-site detection is needed. However, if a test is going to influence legal decisions (dismissal, prosecution, etc.), confirmatory lab testing is highly recommended to avoid liability or disputes.

Q7. What are the limitations of a 12 panel saliva drug test vs urine or hair tests?

• Shorter detection window: saliva generally detects more recent use vs urine which can capture days, or hair which can capture weeks/months.
• Some substances may not appear in saliva in detectable levels depending on how and when they were used.
• Swabs may be influenced by something in the mouth (food, drink, etc.) if not properly used.

Q8. How should I store the test kits, and are they reusable?

• Store kits in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Check the expiration date before use; tests past their expiry may have reduced reliability.
• Kits are single-use only; once the collection and test are done, you cannot reuse them.

Q9. What do the lines mean on the 12 panel test?

The control line shows whether the test is valid (i.e. that it has functioned correctly).

The test lines correspond to each drug; presence/absence (or sometimes strength) is indicated. Usually:

• Line present = negative (no drug detected)
• Line absent = positive (drug detected)
  

What do faint lines on a 12 panel drug test kit mean?

Even faint lines are generally considered valid negatives (but check instructions). If you are unsure take a photo of the results as our customer support team are always happy to help with interpreting faint lines. Make sure you have read the test result at the correct time. You may find this information on interpreting faint lines on a drug test result helpful.
