- + Provides a better recent-use indicator than urine (minutes versus hours)
- + Wide variety of drugs are available, including K2/Synthetic Marijuana
- + Oral fluid is more effective than urine in detecting 6-AM when morphine is present
Our collector has a volume adequacy indicator which ensures sufficient sample volume
for testing
(1mL +/- 10%).
When it turns blue
