Drug - Alcohol testing &: screening accessories

Urine collection cups and temperature strips:

Our gender friendly sealable urine cups are designed to provide a cost effective and professional solution to sample collection. These can also be combined with temperature strips to help ensure that the urine sample collected has not been diluted or substituted by another sample. Body temperature is 37°C, so provided that the liquid crystal strip shows a green colouration, you can rest assured that the sample is within normal parameters.

Disposable gloves:

In the interests of hygiene, it is important that appropriate safety precautions are taken when handling urine samples - such as wearing protective gloves. Our vinyl gloves are an ideal solution and are available in boxes of 100 gloves.

Adulteration / dilution tests:

The Drug-Aware™ Adulteration tests are designed to detect the most common forms of adulteration and dilution. Simply dip the strip into the sample and compare the seven coloured pads with the colour chart on the bottle.

Due to the technology involved in Drug-Aware™ tests it is not possible to make a positive urine sample test negative by adding chemicals, but it is possible to contaminate the sample to create an invalid test. Consequently, if the test device gives an invalid result, if the sample is very clear or an unusual colour, or if the sample isn't body temperature you should consider testing for adulteration or dilution.

Many organisations have adjusted their procedures to make the consequences of providing an adulterated urine sample more severe than testing positive. This helps to discourage adulteration.

Drug-Aware™ Adulteration tests can detect the following:

		Creatinine and Specific Gravity - to detect dilution.
		pH - to detect if anything acidic or alkaline has been used to interfere with the test.
		Bleach (Hypochlorite) - interferes with immunoassay screen by raising pH and denaturing the antibodies.
		Nitrite - interferes with the GC/MS confirmation test when detecting Cannabis use.
		Glutaraldehyde - interferes with immunoassay screen by denaturing the antibodies.
		Pyridinium Chlorochromate - interferes with the GC/MS confirmation test when detecting Cannabis use.
