What is a 7 panel saliva drug test kit
A 7-panel saliva drug test kit is a drug screening tool that detects the presence of various drugs in a person’s saliva. This type of drug test is commonly used for workplace drug testing to check for recent drug use. The "7-panel" refers to the fact that it tests for seven different substances. We have a selection of 7 panel drug tests available in different drug test combinations and sensitivities.
Key features of a 7 panel saliva drug test kit:
- Non-invasive: Collection involves swabbing the inside of the mouth, usually from the cheek or under the tongue to collect a saliva sample
- Short detection window: Saliva drug tests typically detect recent drug use, often within a few hours to a few days.
- Rapid results: Results can be available within a few minutes, making it convenient for on-the-spot drug screening. This is particularly useful in a workplace or healthcare setting.
What drugs does a 7 panel drug test usually test for in the UK?
A 7-panel saliva drug test in the UK typically screens for recent use of the following substances:
- Cannabis (THC)
- Cocaine
- Opiates (such as heroin, morphine, and codeine)
- Amphetamines
- Methamphetamines
- Benzodiazepines (e.g., Valium, Xanax)
- Alcohol, Methadone or occasionally PCP
Saliva tests are especially suited for detecting recent drug use (usually within 24-48 hours) and are often used in workplace or roadside testing due to their quick, non-invasive nature.
Some 7 panel oral tests may vary, substituting methadone or PCP for other drugs like Ketamine depending on specific requirements or industry standards.
If you would like to test for more drugs using a saliva drug test we also have 10 panel, 12 panel and 13 panel saliva drug testing kits.
If you do not need to test for alcohol consider a 6 panel saliva drug test
Usage:
These type of drug tests are popular in settings that require a quick and easy way to monitor recent drug use. However, they are less effective at detecting long-term drug use compared to urine or hair follicle tests.
