What is the swab in the mouth?

The mouth of the mouth is a medicinal test that detects the presence of marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, phentivotin, amphetamine and morphine in saliva. This test, which uses immunochromatography of lateral flow, is performed by inserting a swab in the mouth for a few minutes to absorb the saliva and then develop it in the test tank for about ten minutes. The mouth swab is a relatively cheap and easy -to -use test. This type of drug test is good for the detection of recent drug use, which could affect work -related injuries, mistake, disturbance of transport or crime, although each set of swabs has its own limitations. The saliva on the tampon migrate along a special paper filled with colored agent. Antibodies against tested drugs are tied to the colored agent. If the tested medicines are present on saliva, it binds to specific antibodies and prevents the agent from expressing. If no medicines are present, the colored agent is not affected and relaxed, the paper will color.

The test is read by seeking the presence or absence of colored lines next to each drug label in the results window. Each test has a built -in control and if a control line appears in the results window, the test was properly performed. The color line next to the drug marks means that the tested person is negative for this drug or that the drug has not been used in the last few days. No color line next to the drug marks means that a medicine was used. The weak line still means that the result of the drug is negative and does not indicate a lower degree of drug use.
