TestCountry Enhances Drug Test Kit Product Line in Wake of Drug Testing Needs Survey
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) April 14, 2005
Increasing its already ample offering of drug testing kits, TestCountry has expanded its product offering for simple and practical test solutions for urine, saliva and hair drug testing. According to National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) employed drug abusers cost their employers about twice as much in medical and worker compensation claims as their drug-free coworkers. The better news is that monthly drug use rates among workers decreased from nearly 17 percent in 1985 to 7 percent in 1992 and have remained at that lower level since then. However drug use of the employed still constitutes a major problem for the employers. SAMHSA Office of Applied Studies, National Household Survey on Drug Abuse reports that past month use of any illicit drug of general population is over 6% (more than 4% in ages 26 and older where employment rate is higher). Keeping these facts in mind, TestCountry enhanced its drug testing offering aimed specifically at employee drug testing.
The variety of new products offered allow employers to choose the method of testing they prefer. They are also able to specify which drugs are to be tested for, and purchase the appropriate test kit (see: http://www.testcountry.com/Drug_test_kits_by_drug_name.asp). TestCountry has clearly presented the advantages and disadvantages of these different methods for drug-use detection, so that clients can choose the product that best addresses their needs. For example, urine analysis might be the best method for employers conducting frequent random tests, because they are affordable, accurate and easily administered. On the other hand, saliva testing is more donor friendly in that it is considered less invasive and samples can be obtained under direct supervision. These tests are therefore not as easily manipulated by the donor. Saliva testing, on the other hand, offers a relatively short detection window. Hair testing offers the longest detection window of the three, but unlike the previous two, hair testing must be conducted by a lab. In providing such information, TestCountry has ensured its clients are able to make well-informed decisions.
The new product line includes three specific categories of tests: the iscreen, icup, and icassette. The iscreen line of saliva and urine drug test kits range from simple saliva test kits showing usage of more common drugs to urine tests giving results for a larger range of drugs. The icup line of products offer urine testing that is affordable, fast and reliable. The icassette product line comes in single packages with cups and gloves for ease of use. Both icup and icassette can detect up to twelve different drugs.
