Saliva Alcohol Testing

Providing Accurate, Non-Intrusive Alcohol Testing

When alcohol is consumed, it enters the bloodstream fairly quickly.

From there, it is carried throughout the body where it interacts with various systems and leaves behind traces in the form of metabolites.

These indicators of alcohol consumption are detectable in an individual’s saliva for about 12 to 24 hours after alcohol has been ingested.

After 24 hours, alcohol is typically sufficiently metabolized and is no longer detectable in the saliva. This makes saliva alcohol testing a highly accurate way to test for very recent alcohol use.

Enhanced Security: Swabbing for Accurate Test Results.

Swabbing occurs in the presence of a tester, making this a more secure sample collection method than urinalysis or other methods in which a tester is not present at the time that the test subject provides the sample.This can greatly help to eliminate false positives and ensure greater accuracy of the results.

Some of the advantages of our Saliva Alcohol Testing include...

Certified accurate results
Results available almost immediately
Easier to obtain than a blood sample
Non-intrusive sample collection
Tamper-resistant sampling
Secure chain of custody
Results are difficult to contest

Why Choose Saliva Alcohol Testing

There are many benefits to choosing this method of alcohol testing.

At TestFirst, we have assisted countless employers, parents, and others in need of “for cause” alcohol testing or random alcohol testing.

This is also an ideal option for post-accident testing when it becomes necessary to determine if alcohol consumption played a part in a recent accident.
