5-Panel Oral Drug Test
Our 5-Panel Oral Drug Test is a non-invasive, fast-turnaround solution for detecting five of the most commonly abused substances: THC (marijuana), cocaine, methamphetamine, opiates, and PCP. Unlike traditional urine tests, oral fluid testing uses a simple mouth swab, making it ideal for onsite, observed collection. Results are processed with Medical Review Officer (MRO) oversight to ensure accuracy and compliance with workplace drug screening standards.
This method is especially useful for positions requiring rapid hiring or where bathroom privacy logistics make urine collection inconvenient. Whether you’re screening new hires, conducting post-accident evaluations, or implementing random drug tests, our oral testing option delivers certified results you can trust—without disrupting your workflow.
