About Instant Drug Testing
An instant drug test is exactly what it sounds like; results are available right away, at the point where it’s collected, usually within a few minutes.
POCT = Point of Collection Test.
Also known as an immunoassay screening; its purpose is to detect any presence of that category of drugs in the specimen. The result is either negative (it’s not present) or non-negative (it is present). We never consider a non-negative instant drug as a “positive” result.
Also called rapid drug tests, instant drug tests typically use urine or oral fluid (saliva) for the test specimen.
Any non-negative specimens are sent to a lab for confirmation, and, if positive, review by an MRO.
Instant or rapid drug tests are an effective way to get quick negative results.
