Saliva Drug Test Information
One type of drug test that is gaining in popularity is the saliva drug test. This is partly because this drug test does not require that the testers come in contact with other body fluids, like blood or urine. Another major advantage of this test is that it is quick and easy to do, since usually the sample is taken simply by swabbing the inside of your mouth.
Principle of the Test
The Multi Saliva Drug Test (Oral Fluid) is an immunoassay based on the principle of competitive binding. Drugs that may be present in the oral fluid specimen compete against their respective drug conjugate for binding sites on their specific antibody.
During testing, a portion of the oral fluid specimen migrates upward by capillary action. A drug, if present in the oral fluid specimen below its cut-off concentration, will not saturate the binding sites of its specific antibody. The antibody will then react with the drug-protein conjugate and a visible coloured line will show up in the test line region of the specific drug strip. The presence of drug above the cut-off concentration in the oral fluid specimen will saturate all the binding sites of the antibody. Therefore, the coloured line will not form in the test line region.
A drug-positive oral fluid specimen will not generate a coloured line in the specific test line region of the strip because of drug competition, while a drug-negative oral fluid specimen will generate a line in the test line region because of the absence of drug competition.
To serve as a procedural control, a coloured line will always appear at the control line region, indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
A saliva drug test can be passed through using mouth cleansing mouthwashes or other detoxifying agents. There are other products that you can use to make sure that you always get a negative result on a saliva drug test. For example, there are quick, detoxifying pills that you can take, which will help flush the drugs out of your system, and therefore make sure that you do not have any of the substances that the test will detect in your saliva on the day of the test.
