How do I interpret the results?

Most test kits provide clear instructions and visual indicators to help you interpret results quickly. For workplace or legal testing, confirm positive results with a lab if needed.

Do I need a laboratory confirmation?

For workplace, legal, or disciplinary purposes, a laboratory confirmation drug test is always recommended following a positive drug screening result.

What is the shelf life of the test?

Each test kit has an expiry date clearly printed on the foil pouch. Do not use the test after this date, as the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

All of our full-priced drug test kits are supplied with a minimum of 12 months’ shelf life remaining when dispatched. If a product has a shorter shelf life than this, it will always be clearly stated on the product description before you buy, and the price will reflect this.

This ensures you can purchase with confidence, knowing your test kits will remain reliable for at least a year from the date of order, provided they are stored correctly.

Yes. The test kit is simple to use and requires no special equipment, making it suitable for home, workplace, and professional drug screening.

How quickly will I get the results?

Results appear within 3–5 minutes. Do not read results after 10 minutes, as this may give an inaccurate outcome.

Do I need any training to use the drug test kit?

No specialist training is needed. Each test comes with full instructions, and our customer support team is available if you have any questions. If you would like to have training, we do offer this service.

Is a positive saliva test result conclusive?

While saliva drug tests are very accurate, a positive result should ideally be confirmed with a laboratory analysis, especially for workplace or legal use.

Are saliva tests more convenient than urine tests?

Yes, saliva drug testing is less invasive, easier to supervise, and can be done without the need for private bathroom facilities.

How long after drug use can a saliva test detect drugs?

Saliva drug tests typically detect recent drug use, usually within the last 24–48 hours, depending on the substance. This makes them ideal for identifying current impairment.

What should be done if an onsite workplace drug test result is positive?

In the event of a positive result on a workplace drug test, it's advisable to send the sample to a certified UKAS accredited laboratory for confirmatory drug testing to rule out any potential false positives.

How should the drug test kits be stored?

Store the test kits in a cool, dry place between 2°C and 30°C. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, moisture, or excessive heat to maintain their effectiveness.

How should I interpret faint lines on the test?

A faint line in the test region indicates a negative result for that specific substance. The intensity of the line does not correlate with the concentration of the drug. More information on interpreting faint lines on a drug test here

How long does Cannabis (Weed) stay in saliva?

Cannabis (weed) can be detected in saliva for up to 8-12 hours after use in most cases. However, several factors can influence this timeframe and it may be longer in shorter than this:

  • Frequency of use: For occasional users, THC (the active compound in cannabis aka weed) may be detectable for up to 8-12 hours. For heavy or chronic users, it may linger in saliva for longer.
  • Amount consumed: Higher doses can take longer to clear from the system.
  • Metabolism: Individual metabolic rates and body fat percentage can affect how quickly THC is eliminated.
  • Hydration and Oral Hygiene: Drinking water and practicing good oral hygiene may slightly reduce detection time.
  • Sensitivity of the saliva drug test: an ultra sensitive saliva THC drug test kit will pick up lower levels of THC in saliva.

Saliva tests are often used for their convenience and short detection window, typically making them less effective for identifying long-term cannabis use compared to urine tests.
