What is a 7 panel saliva drug test kit
A 7-panel saliva drug test kit is a drug screening tool that detects the presence of various drugs in a person’s saliva. This type of drug test is commonly used for workplace drug testing to check for recent drug use. The "7-panel" refers to the fact that it tests for seven different substances. We have a selection of 7 panel drug tests available in different drug test combinations and sensitivities.
Key features of a 7 panel saliva drug test kit:
- Non-invasive: Collection involves swabbing the inside of the mouth, usually from the cheek or under the tongue to collect a saliva sample
- Short detection window: Saliva drug tests typically detect recent drug use, often within a few hours to a few days.
- Rapid results: Results can be available within a few minutes, making it convenient for on-the-spot drug screening. This is particularly useful in a workplace or healthcare setting.
What drugs does a 7 panel drug test usually test for in the UK?
A 7-panel saliva drug test in the UK typically screens for recent use of the following substances:
- Cannabis (THC)
- Cocaine
- Opiates (such as heroin, morphine, and codeine)
- Amphetamines
- Methamphetamines
- Benzodiazepines (e.g., Valium, Xanax)
- Alcohol, Methadone or occasionally PCP
Saliva tests are especially suited for detecting recent drug use (usually within 24-48 hours) and are often used in workplace or roadside testing due to their quick, non-invasive nature.
Some 7 panel oral tests may vary, substituting methadone or PCP for other drugs like Ketamine depending on specific requirements or industry standards.
Usage:
These type of drug tests are popular in settings that require a quick and easy way to monitor recent drug use. However, they are less effective at detecting long-term drug use compared to urine or hair follicle tests.
