Urine Drug Testing

Urine drug testing is a reliable, quick, and cost-effective method to detect both prescription and illegal drugs. The well-established testing method is widely used in pre-employment testing, health care centres and heavy industry such as mining and construction.

This simple test has a longer window of drug detection and can identify the presence of various substances. While the test is popular, accurate and painless, it certainly requires additional resources like bathroom facilities to conduct the test.
