Short answer: An oral fluid (saliva) test uses a mouth swab collected under direct observation. It is a separate service with its own procedure and turnaround.

• Collection: the donor does not eat, drink, chew gum or use tobacco for a short time before the swab. The collector explains the steps on site.
• Oral Fluid / Saliva 10-Panel: screens for amphetamines, barbiturates, buprenorphine, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamine, opiates, oxycodone, PCP and marijuana (THC). Fentanyl is not included.
• Confirmation: all laboratory confirmation drug testing offered by Odosek Lab Solutions uses urine specimens. If an initial oral-fluid screening requires confirmation, a separate urine collection will be arranged.
• Common uses: post-accident, reasonable suspicion and random testing, where observed collection matters.
