Category: Lab Base Drug Test

A lab-based drug test is a comprehensive screening method used to detect the presence of drugs in an individual’s system. Unlike rapid or point-of-care tests, lab-based tests are conducted in a certified laboratory, ensuring higher accuracy and reliability. These tests typically use samples of urine, blood, saliva, or hair to identify a range of substances, including marijuana, cocaine, opioids, amphetamines, and PCP. Lab-based drug tests are often employed by employers for pre-employment screening, random testing, post-accident investigations, and compliance with regulatory requirements. Results are usually available within a few days and are reviewed by medical professionals to confirm findings and rule out false positives.
