Quest Diagnostics believes in the value of drug testing. Effective
drug testing solutions can help to improve productivity, reduce workplace
accidents, decrease absenteeism, and job turnover. Because every workforce is
unique, an employer should make a careful determination about the program
elements that are most valuable for their employees.
From a robust collection site network with nearly 10,000 locations
across the US to an intuitive drug testing results portal, our suite of
services is vast and helps to make the drug testing process easier from order
to results.
Drug testing solutions for every size business.
Whether your company employs 2,000 people or a tight crew of
50, our drug test products and solutions can cover the full range thanks to our
laboratory footprint, our scientific expertise, and a name brand synonymous
with quality and reliability.
Employers can choose the best drug test type to build an effective program.
Urine drug testing – Urine is the most common and trusted test method. It detects recent drug use, typically in the previous 1 to 3 days, and can be performed for a wide range of illicit and prescription drugs.
Oral fluid testing – The Oral-Eze® oral fluid collection system is one of the most utilized collection/testing system for workforce oral fluid testing and is second to urine testing in workforce testing volume. This screening method and detects recent drug use in the previous 24-36 hours. Data also shows that Oral-Eze is very effective in detecting marijuana use.
Hair testing – Hair drug testing continues to gain broader appeal as it yields a longer detection window, providing a drug-use history that shows up to a 90-day pattern of repetitive use.
Instant urine drug testing – Instant urine drug testing can provide a result on-site, allowing the option to have drug test collections take place outside of a collection site so employees are able to go back to work the same day.
Alcohol testing – Our implementation of electronic breath alcohol testing (eBAT) helps make the process more seamless and effective.

There are reasons beyond pre-employment that employers choose to drug test
employees. Some workforce scenarios include:
Random – Using a random selection process, the
employer selects one or more individuals from all the employees included in the
employer’s workplace drug testing program. Random testing is a strong deterrent
to drug users because it is conducted on an unannounced basis.
Reasonable suspicion – Sometimes referred to as
“probable-cause” or “for-cause” testing, this testing type is usually
unscheduled or short notice and is conducted when a supervisor has evidence or
objective reasons to suspect drug use by an employee. Since this type of drug
testing is discretionary, it requires supervisor training to ensure consistent
application of the program across the workforce.
Post-accident – Testing following an accident—sometimes
referred to as “post incident” testing—can help determine whether drugs were a
factor. Post-accident testing should be done within 12 hours of the incident
since different drugs may have different windows of detection.

Our technology, collections, and logistics network helps define quality and
reliability.
Collection network – Although the majority of all drug test collections take place in our collection site network, employers can count on the versatility of our mobile services to help maximize their drug testing program with 24/7 on-site collections.
Drug testing portal – Our Employer Solutions Portal (ESP) is a comprehensive, easy-to-use solution that connects your drug testing program directly to Quest Diagnostics.
Electronic custody and control forms – An electronic
Custody and Control Form (eCCF) is the digital version of the 5-part paper
custody and control form, designed to improve the process and make collections
faster and more efficient. eCCF is available for all US Department of
Transportation (DOT) urine, non-DOT urine, Express Results™ Online, oral
fluid, and hair drug tests.
Drug testing savings calculator – Employers can determine the return on investment (ROI) of their workforce drug testing program using the latest data.
Web services, electronic integrations, and Applicant Tracking System (ATS ) – Drug test results are electronically downloaded 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, through a secure interface with your company.
