THC Detox Shop / Saliva Drug Testing
Saliva Drug TestingThe FDA has recently given Epitope, Inc approval to begin manufacturing saliva drug test. In a study using RIA (Radioimmunoassay) test, cannabinoids were detected in saliva 4 to 10 hours after subjects smoked a single marijuana joint. Epitope has recently developed a drug test which detects drugs or their metabolites in saliva. However, this sort of test is limited to detecting very recent drug use. In one study, saliva drug test was only able to detect cannabinoids 4-10 hours after the subjects had been smoking. It is likely that this drug test will be confined to detecting current intoxication only.
In oral fluid, drugs will be detected within minutes after use.
