Safer Drug Testing During The Pandemic

How to maintain social distancing and control drug screening costs, from the experts at Intelligent Fingerprinting…

Despite the pandemic, requirements for regular drug testing haven’t gone away. Across industries, organisations face the challenge of how to ensure hygiene and social distancing during drug testing to protect staff, while keeping a watchful eye on costs.

Unlike traditional drug testing methods – such as oral fluid tests that work by collecting an individual’s saliva, or urine tests which involve handling of messy samples – fingerprint drug testing from Intelligent Fingerprinting directly addresses social distancing concerns, enabling hygienic testing to be carried out while social distancing, and even while wearing a face mask. Fingerprint sweat drug testing is quick and easy, ensuring that:

• Users can self-administer their own fingerprint sample collection, keeping at least 2m away from the tester
• Sample collection takes seconds, with results in 10 minutes, removing the need for prolonged proximity during testing
• Fingerprint collection is non-invasive and hygienic – with no requirement for oral swabs or urine sample collection, removing the need for close face-to-face contact or handling of biohazardous body fluids
• There’s no need to collect an oral swab from the mouth, so the person being tested can wear a face mask throughout testing
• No special preparations are needed before testing. Organisations can run the testing themselves in a safe location, removing the need for external service providers to come on-site to carry out testing, and significantly reducing drug screening costs as a result.

How socially distant drug testing works
The person being tested removes the fingerprint drug screening cartridge from its wrapper, presses all ten fingerprints in succession onto the sample pad, and closes the cover to protect the sample. The user then steps away and the tester collects the cartridge and insert its into Intelligent Fingerprinting’s mobile reader. On-screen results are available in just 10 minutes.
