Over 70% of illicit drug users are employed. Drug testing is highly recommended for the construction, transportation, manufacturing, and hospitality industries. Businesses can benefit from regular random drug testing.

Specimens are initially tested by enzyme immunoassay. Unexpected results are followed up with quantitative confirmation testing by utilizing test methods with greater sensitivity and specificity such as Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy (GC/MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). This high complexity testing is considered a “Gold Standard” with high accuracy and low cut-off points.

PacTox can help companies to set up new drug testing program, provide recommendations on drugs to be tested, and work with established programs to provide abstinence monitoring. Additionally, we provide quality control validation for pharmaceutical manufacturers and testing for professional sports teams and sporting events.
