Urine Drug and Alcohol Screen
When an employer requests a drug test from an employee the employee is typically instructed to go to a collection site, such as Fifth Street Counseling Center. The employee’s urine is collected in a specially designed secure cup, sealed with a tamper resistant tape, and sent via express delivery service to a testing laboratory to be screened for drugs (typically SAMHSA 5 panel). Instant preliminary results are shared with the client.
The first step at the testing site is to split the urine into two aliquots. One aliquot is first screened for drugs using an analyzer that performs immunoassay as the initial screen. If the urine screen is positive then another aliquot of the sample is used to confirm the findings by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS) methodology. All test results are relayed to an MRO (Medical Review Office) where a medical physician reviews the results. If the result of the screen is negative, the MRO informs the employer that the employee has no detectable drug in the urine. However, if the test result of the immunoassay and GC-MS are non-negative and show a concentration level of parent drug or metabolite above the established limit, the MRO contacts the employee and to determine if there is any legitimate reason – such as a medical treatment or prescription.

Hair Follicle Drug Testing
Analysis of hair samples has many advantages as a preliminary screening method for the presence of drugs. The advantages of hair analysis include the non-invasiveness, low cost and the ability to measure a large number of, potentially interacting, toxic and biologically essential elements. Especially in the United States hair testing is increasingly being used by employers to test employees for potential illegal drug consumption. The Hair 12-Panel Drug Screen uses the only drug testing method available that will determine a drug usage history of up to 90-days.
- $304.50 – Full laboratory 12-panel analysis in five business days.
