Drug test

Drug tests are designed to identify the presence of psychoactive substances in the body. They are typically used in work, sporting or legal situations where specific rules must be followed or a safe environment must be ensured.

Multi-drug testing

Multi-drug tests allow the simultaneous detection of multiple substances in a single sample. Specifically, it simultaneously detects up to 10 substances: marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines or opioids, among others. They stand out for their 99% reliability and because they offer results in 3-8 minutes.

Cocaine test

Cocaine tests are designed to detect the presence of cocaine or its metabolites in the body. These tests can be analysed through different samples: urine, saliva or hair. However, the most common are those performed on urine samples.

• Rapid urine tests: these are the most common, as they are able to detect cocaine metabolites when their concentration exceeds 300 ng/ml in urine, providing rapid results in a few minutes.
• Saliva tests: detect recent use, provided it has occurred within the last 24-48 hours.
• Hair tests: are able to detect use over a longer period of time.

Cannabis self-test

Marijuana tests are rapid tests that can detect the presence of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and its metabolites in urine or saliva. They are designed for home use without the need for a prescription, offering results with a high reliability of 99% and in just a few minutes. Among their features: they detect the presence of cannabis, marijuana and hashish, and are very easy to use.

It is important to note that a negative result does not guarantee the total absence of substances, as the concentration could be below the detectable level of the test (usually 50/ml for THC). In case of a positive result, it is recommended to confirm with a laboratory to confirm positive results.

Urine doping test

The urine doping test is a common method to detect recent drug use. This analysis consists of collecting a urine sample from the person concerned in a sterile container. It is frequently used in the field of sport.

It is important to mention that the results may be affected by the ingestion of large amounts of water, which may dilute the sample. In addition, although highly reliable, in some cases false positives may occur due to interference from certain foods or prescription drugs. In these cases, an additional test called gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) may be requested to confirm positive results.

What drugs can be detected in a urine test?

The main substances that can be detected in a urine test are:

• Cocaine
• Cannabis
• Opiates
• Amphetamines
• Alcohol
• Benzodiazepines
• Methadone

Detection times

The time during which drugs are detectable in urine varies according to the substance to be detected:

• Amphetamines and cocaine: up to 4 days.
• Cannabis: up to 30 days.
• Alcohol: 12 hours.
• Benzodiazepines: between 7 and 10 days.
• Heroin: up to 4 days.
• Methadone: 10 days.

However, it is important to note that times may vary depending on other factors such as age, individual metabolism and frequency of use.

What do I do if I test positive?

In case of a positive result, you can take a confirmatory test to avoid false positives.
