ToxScreen Drug Testing Cup

The ToxScreen Cup is a rapid, user-friendly, qualitative immunoassay test used to determine the presence of drugs. The FDA-registered cup allows for easy, single-step urine collection and testing while keeping the device tamper-proof. Each cup is self-contained for easy transfer to a laboratory for confirmatory testing and includes a temperature strip and identification label to ensure specimen integrity and documentation.

The device has built-in controls that monitor the testing process, and the foil-wrapped test device can be stored at room temperature for 18 months. The FDA 510(K) registered detection strips being integrated into the collection cup limit contact with the urine specimen and device tampering. The testing device draws urine from the bottom of the split specimen well, thereby eliminating the need to tip or shake the device. A large clear viewing window allows for easy, accurate reading of results within five minutes. An opaque sticker on the front of the device keeps results confidential until the authorized individual is ready to view them.

Alere Toxicology offers several configurations of the ToxScreen Drug Test Cup, including a combination of three to seven drugs and specimen validity testing.

• Collectors may record pertinent information regarding the specimen directly on the collection cup to aid in identification.
• Test devices are self-contained and portable and can be sent directly to the laboratory if confirmation is required.
• Test controls are built into the device.
• Easy-to-read results are available in 5 minutes.
• No refrigeration is required as the devices may be stored at room temperature for up to 18 months.
• Devices must be ordered in groups of 25.

These test devices utilize a similar technique for analyzing the concentration of drugs in the body as labs use, but any non-negative test results from a point of collection test should be considered preliminary. A more specific method should be used in order to obtain a confirmation. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has established Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) as the preferred confirmatory method. As users of Alere Toxicology’s products, you may elect to forward specimens that screen suspect positive to one of Alere Toxicology’s SAMHSA-certified laboratories for re-screen and confirmation.
