Oral Drug Testing Improves Cost Efficiency

With urine-based testing, you are paying not only for test results, but also often for collection, scheduling, supervision, and training. Just think about about the downtime while your employee or candidate visits an off-site collection facility across town. Multiply your costs and hours by the number of employees you test each month and it adds up quickly. With Intercept^TM testing, you reduce or eliminate collection fees, minimize scheduling issues, and greatly reduce lost work time. The improvements to your company's bottom-line will be noticeable.

"Drug testing with the Intercept^TM system is very efficient. It not only saves our company valuable hiring time, but it also translates into cost savings that positively impacts my bottom-line."

You Control the Process

Unlike urine samples, oral fluid samples can be collected anywhere, anytime. No special facilities are needed. With the Intercept^TM system you have the option of collecting samples in-house, which means no scheduling hassles or collection fees. The collection process can take place in a specially designated area or a secure area, rather than in a restroom. The Intercept^TM system makes it easier for you to test employees at multiple plants and other facilities. A training program is available to all staff involved in the collection process.

With the Intercept^TM collection pad, the donor can easily provide a sample and seal it into our special shipping vial in about 2 minutes. The specimen vial, along with a chain-of-custody form, are then convenient shipper for overnight delivery to our central lab. The laboratory uses proven immunoassay processes and reports negative results within 24 hours of receipt. Positive results are confirmed using GC/MS/MS, the Gold Standard, and are reported within 48 to 72 hours.

"I am no longer waiting 2 to 3 days for drug test scheduling and lab reports. I find the perfect candidate, and within 24 hours I'm able to make them an offer. I like that kind of control."

Oral Testing is Less Embarrassing

"Asking an employee or potential hire to put a swab between his cheek and gum is much easier and far less embarrassing than asking him for a urine sample."

The act of urinating in a cup is at best demeaning and can be awkward for both the person being tested and the collector. The Intercept^TM system delivers a safer, more dignified and observable collection method. The dignity of the collection method is a real benefit. After all, these are your employees and potential hires being tested. We can help you make a good first impression.

Lower Chance of Adulteration

Drug users have many options to try to "beat" a urine test. Intercept^TM Oral Fluid Drug Testing nearly eliminates the risk of adulteration. It's virtually impossible for donors providing oral fluid samples to mask drugs in their system. Besides, Intercept^TM collections can always be directly observed. Beating the system just became more difficult!

"The problem with urine testing is that the person being tested has to be hidden away in a secure restroom. Now I'm able to observe the collection process firsthand."
