If you’re 18 or older and are interested in understanding drugs that may have been consumed recently, this test may be right for you. However, there are certain situations in which you SHOULD NOT take this test, including for the purposes of:

• Legal or forensic testing
• Medical testing
• Military testing
• Monitoring therapeutic doses of medications
• Treatment adherence
• Monitoring for prescription drug misuse⁴

The result will provide either a negative or presumptive positive for each substance tested. If the initial result is positive (meaning traces of the drug are detected), a second confirmation test will be done automatically to confirm the positive results and provide the most accurate result. 

There can be many factors—such as drug half-life, hydration status and frequency of drug use—that can affect how long certain drugs remain detectable in urine. For instance, some drugs can be detected from 2 to 4 days; some drugs can remain for months (like marijuana). Drugs that have a long half-life may also remain in your systems for a longer amount of time.

Our test measures for 6 drugs via urine testing:

Amphetamines including methamphetamine. Typical detection time in urine is up to 2 days.

Cannabinoids (Marijuana/THC). For just a single use, typical detection time in urine is from 2 to 7 days. However, if use is chronic, detection time in urine may be extended.

Cocaine. Typical detection time in urine is up to 4 days.

Opiates/Opioids. Typical detection time in urine is up to 4 days.

Oxycodone. Typical detection time in urine is up to 4 days.

Phencyclidine. Typical detection time in urine is 2-3 days but can be more than a week in chronic users.⁶
