Preferred drug testing lab services?
|
"Keystone Laboratories, a sister company of Wolfe Drug Testing, is a
forensic drug testing laboratory based out of Asheville, North Carolina. The
lab maintains College of American Pathologists (CAP) certification and
processes non-DOT urine and saliva drug test results. We have developed a
specialized chain of custody form that accommodates urine and saliva samples
which need traditional testing or confirmation services for instant kits.
At Keystone, each specimen is checked for appropriate pH, specific gravity,
and creatinine levels to further ensure the sample has not been diluted or
adulterated. Detection of hydromorphone and hydrocodone is included in
opiate screening protocols. Customized testing panels are also available to
detect commonly abused substances, such as ecstasy and oxycodone, that are
not picked up by standard screening protocols."

|
|
Medical review for positive drug test?
|
Tests confirmed positive at the laboratory should undergo the medical review process to rule out the possibility of a prescription medication or other legitimate reason for the positive result.
We will interview the donor to gather prescription information. If the donor is currently under a doctor's care with a valid prescription in their name, the test will most probably be reported back as a negative.
It is highly recommended that medical review be performed on any positive test involving a current employee, such as those who are part of a random selection program.
"The medical review officer is the balancing force, protecting employee rights, pursuing accurate information and watching out for the safety of all involved."
|
|
Drug test results turn-around time?
|
Times for each laboratory and collection site vary depending on geographic location and specimen delivery options. The collection site sends specimens
out for overnight delivery by DHL, UPS, FedEx, or lab courier.
Positives are typically available to begin medical review within 24 hours of lab receipt while opiate positives can take up to 36 hours. Medical
review requires the donor to be interviewed before the result is reported out as a positive.
Our cutting edge retrieval technology provides some of the best turn-around times in the testing industry for obtaining drug test results.

|
|
Instant vs. traditional drug testing?
|
Instant testing is a two-step process. Step 1 is the drug screen being performed at your location. Step 2 involves a confirmation test,
which is done at the laboratory, only if the instant drug screen shows a positive (non-negative) result.
|
|
Accuracy of drug testing kits?
|
Our products are very reliable. Most have passed the rigorous regulations of FDA approval. We will supply detailed performance statistics upon request.
It is always best to send any non-negative specimens to be confirmed at a laboratory.
|
|
GC/MS laboratory confirmation?
|
Non-negative instant test results are backed by GC/MS laboratory confirmation, the most specific of all confirmatory methods. When the product reveals
a non-negative result, best practice is confirmation by an alternative methodology (preferably GC/MS) on the same specimen. GC/MS is an extremely
accurate procedure that identifies each chemical compound on the basis of its unique molecular structure.
|
|
Why use a chain of custody (COC) form?
|
This form documents the transfer of the specimen from the time of collection through processing at the laboratory. Its use has proven effective in
preventing tampering or specimen switching. The COC is an important legal safeguard, since the specimen transfer process is most challenged aspect
of drug testing in court proceedings.
|
|
Legally defensible drug testing services?
|
Wolfe Drug Testing has designed a single four-part chain of custody form to accommodate both traditional testing and instant test
results for urine and saliva testing.
This form is accepted at several laboratories, including Keystone, to simplify the collection process.
|
|
Methods used to drug test?
|
Urine, saliva, hair, and blood are four of the most commonly used methods to detect drug use. Each method has advantages and disadvantages.
Generally speaking, urine is the most reliable established method of detection. Since the kidneys are the primary route by which drugs and their
metabolites are excreted from the body, drugs are easily detected in urine.
Saliva collection is less intrusive and does not require bathroom facilities. Hair testing provides a longer window of detection, but is
a more costly option that requires a more complicated collection process.
