Read about at home drug testing kit.
While one is comparing home drug test kits with the laboratory testing methods, there are two main factors that are required to be taken under consideration. This includes the speed and accuracy of the drug testing results. Both the testing methods have their own merits and demerits. At home drug test kits provide quick results for a relatively low cost; however these kits are not without their disadvantages. The sensitivity levels of detecting a substance can vary greatly from one test to the other. Although, the test can read positive for a particular illegal drug, but it fails to provide the numerical result rather than the range. Generally, a drug testing lab would make use of the same king of drug screen as a home drug test kit called an immunoassay test. The labs can however use the best calibrated machines to attain a very accurate numerical result.
The labs have trained professionals to administer a test and can perform a test again for achieving greater accuracy. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry is a perfect method of screening the presence of an illegal substance and that is available only in toxicology labs. They can detect illicit drugs and prescription drugs that can mimic the illegal drugs in an immunoassay. This is the main advantage of laboratory testing over home drug tests. Whereas, the greatest advantage of home drug testing kits over the lab methods is the availability of instantaneous results. Many at home drug test kits provide results in few minutes, the labs, on the other hand provide results after 2 to 3 days.
The FDA approved drug test will allow the buyer send the urine specimens that tested positive to the labs for further analysis. This will help determine whether or not the tests registered false positives and they were clean urine drug test samples. The at home drug test kits will offer the most affordable options. A single drug test kit is available at the price of $4. The cost will increase with an increase in the additional drugs being tested up to the range of $30. Whereas, a single substance test in a lab might cost b$30 and $60 for multi-panel test.
