A 6-panel saliva drug test kit is a screening tool that detects six different types of drugs from a saliva sample. These type of oral drug tests are widely used in workplace testing in the UK as they screen for 6 common drugs.

A 6-panel saliva test typically screens for:

  1. Cannabis (THC)
  2. Cocaine
  3. Opiates (such as heroin, morphine, codeine)
  4. Amphetamines
  5. Methamphetamines
  6. Benzodiazepines (e.g., Valium, Xanax)

if you also wish to screen for alcohol consider a 7 panel saliva drug test

Key Features of a 6 panel saliva drug test:

  • Non-invasive: The oral fluid sample (saliva0  is collected by swabbing the inside of the mouth.
  • Rapid detection: These saliva tests can detect recent drug use, often within the past few hours up to a couple of days.
  • Convenient and fast: Results are typically available in minutes, making them suitable for on-site testing.

Advantages of a 6 panel saliva drug test over a larger panel like a 12 panel or 13 panel test

  • Cost effectiveness-A 6-panel saliva drug test is generally more affordable than a 12-panel, making it a budget-friendly option for workplaces or personal use where only the most common drugs need to be screened
  • Simpler testing process-With fewer substances to test for than say a 12 panel saliva drug test, a 6-panel test is quicker and simpler to administer.
  • Smaller saliva sample required-Testing for fewer drugs requires a smaller sample volume and allows for a quicker swab, making the process less intrusive for participants.
  • Focus on common drugs-The 6-panel saliva test typically includes drugs that are most commonly misused (such as cannabis, cocaine, opiates, and amphetamines). This makes it ideal for environments where only high-risk substances need to be monitored.
  • Reduced false positives-with fewer substances screened, there’s a lower chance of cross-reactivity, which can sometimes lead to false positives. This makes the test more streamlined and reduces the need for additional confirmatory testing.
  • Ideal for routine or targeted testing-For employers or individuals who need regular testing but don’t need to screen for less common drugs, a 6-panel test covers the essentials without unnecessary complexity.

This makes 6-panel saliva drug test kits a practical option for quick, reliable screening for recent drug use.
