Choose your workplace testing option
Start with your testing purpose and collection setting. Check the selected kit’s instructions for the substances covered and detection window.
| Option | Detection-window purpose | Collection setting | Confirmation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oral fluid (saliva) | Screening focused on recent use; generally a shorter window than urine. | Mouth-swab collection at the workplace, following the kit instructions. | Initial screening, not laboratory confirmation. See laboratory options for follow-up analysis. |
| Urine | Screening over a generally longer window than oral fluid, depending on the substance and test. | Requires a private space for urine sample collection. | Initial screening, not laboratory confirmation. See laboratory options for follow-up analysis. |
| Laboratory confirmation | Follow-up analysis of an initial screening result; the window depends on the sample, substance and test. | Collect and package the sample for laboratory analysis using the service’s collection and chain-of-custody instructions. | Choose this route when laboratory confirmation is needed; check sample and service requirements before ordering. |
Detection windows vary. This selector does not establish impairment or legal sufficiency.

Workplace drug testing FAQs for employers
Can employers drug test staff in the UK?
Generally yes, with the employee's consent and a clear drug and alcohol policy, and testing should be proportionate. Take HR or legal advice for your situation. Our guide to workplace drug testing in the UK explains the basics.
Which test is best for random workplace testing?
Saliva tests are quick, observed and non-invasive, and show recent use, which makes them popular for random and for-cause testing. Urine tests cover a longer detection window and are often used for pre-employment screening.
Do you offer bulk or trade pricing?
Yes. We offer trade pricing on orders of 250+ tests. Request a trade quote.
Will I get a VAT invoice?
Yes, a VAT invoice is provided with every order.
How fast will my kits arrive?
Orders placed before 2pm, Monday to Friday, are dispatched the same day, with 24-hour express delivery across the UK.
What if a screening result isn't negative?
An initial screening result should be confirmed by a laboratory before any action is taken. Use one of our laboratory confirmation kits.
