Detecting drug use with a saliva drug screen is a clean and easy drug screening technique. Saliva specimens are collected while the donor is under observation, which makes it harder for the donor to tamper with the results. The iScreen Oral Fluid Device 6 saliva drug screen collection process is much less invasive and embarrassing than urine drug screening. We offer quality saliva oral fluid drug screen kits. iScreen Oral Fluid 6 is an oral drug screen. iscreen OFD 6 saliva drug screen with results in minutes using oral fluid. iScreen oral fluid 6 detects drugs that may be present in the oral specimen. The iScreen Oral Drug Screen is a dynamic saliva drug screen kit detecting up to 6 drugs. Our saliva drug screen kit detects traces of drugs (or drug metabolites) in oral fluids from the donor. Since drugs and drug metabolites (residues) do not remain in oral fluids as long as they do in urine, this method shows more promise in determining current use and impairment. REAGENTSThe iScreen Oral Fluid saliva Drug Screen contains membrane strips coated with drug-protein conjugates on the test line, polyclonal antibody against gold-protein conjugate at the control line, and a dye pad which contains colloidal gold particles coated with antibody specific to the drugs being tested.SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND PREPARATIONThe iScreen Oral Fluid 6 saliva drug screen device specimen should be collected using the collector provided with the kit, following the detailed instructions under Directions for Use. No other collection devices should be used with this assay. Oral fluid collected at any time of the day may be used.
DIRECTIONS FOR USEAllow the iScreen Oral Fluid Drug saliva drug screen to come to room temperature [15-30c (59-86¨¬F)] prior to screening. Instruct the donor not to place anything in the mouth including food, drink, gum, or tobacco products for at least 10 minutes prior to collection.1. Bring the iScreen Oral Fluid Drug Screen pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test and Cap from the sealed pouch and use the test as soon as possible.2. Remove the iScreen Oral Fluid Device Sample Collector Protector from the collection Sponge. Instruct the donor to insert the Sponge end of the collector into the mouth and actively swab the inside of the mouth and the top of the tongue. As soon as the Sponge softens slightly, the donor should gently press the Sponge between the tongue and teeth to ensure complete saturation.3. The Sponge is saturated when no hard spots can be felt. Collect for a total of at least three (3) minutes before removing the Sponge. Remove the collector from the mouth4. Align the Red Arrow on the iScreen Oral Fluid Device with one of the White Marks on the Cap. Insert the collector vertically into the Cap and press down firmly. Twist the Cap clockwise 180¡Æ until the Red Arrow lines up with the other White Mark.5. Place the test device horizontally on a clean and level surface with facing up.6. Read results at 10 minutes. Do not read results after 1 hour.7. If positive results are observed, secure Cap with security seal and send the iScreen Oral Fluid Device to a laboratory for confirmation. The laboratory can access the reservoir through the Sample Port.8. For detailed operating instructions, please refer to the Procedure Card.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTSNEGATIVE: All test lines appear. One colored line should be in the control region (C), and other apparent colored line should be adjacent in the test region (Drug/T). This negative result indicates that the drug concentration is below the detectable level or drug free. *NOTE: The shade of color in the test region (Drug/T) will vary, but it should be considered negative whenever there is even a faint colored line.
POSITIVE: One colored line appears in the control region (C). Any test line not appears in the test region (Drug/T). This positive result indicates that the drug concentration is above the detectable level.
INVALID: Control line fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test using a new test panel. If the problem persists, discontinue using the lot immediately and contact the manufacturer.
Procedural control is included in the test. A colored line appearing in the control region (C) is considered an internal procedural control. It confirms sufficient specimen volume, adequate membrane wicking and correct procedural technique. Discover significant cost savings from iScreen Oral Fluid Device 6, the oral fluid drug screen that delivers results in minutes. iScreen Oral Fluid Device 6 provides a faster, easier saliva oral drug screen with dramatic cost savings over your current method. Save thousands of dollars in collection fees and lost labor time with iScreen Oral Fluid Device Screen. Unlike urine-based tests, iScreen Oral Fluid Device 6 is self contained and ready to use anytime, in any location and anyone can be trained to use the test in minutes. No Waiting For Lab Results. Results In (3) Minutes - Built In Confirmation Chamber. Bathrooms Not Required.LIMITATIONS1. The iScreen Oral provides only a qualitative, preliminary analytical result. A secondary analytical method must be used to obtain a confirmed result. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or gas chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (GC/MS/MS) are preferred confirmatory methods.2. A positive test result does not indicate the concentration of drug in the specimen or the route of administration.3. A negative result may not necessarily indicate a drug-free specimen. Drug may be present in the specimen below the cutoff level of the assay.Cross-ReactivityA study was conducted to determine the cross-reactivity of the test with compounds spiked into drug-free PBS stock. The compounds demonstrated no false positive results on the iScreen Oral Fluid Drug Screen when tested with concentrations up to 100 ¥ìg/mL.
