It can be confusing to decide which drug test is the "right" one to purchase and what types of drugs are tested for since there are so many on the market. Typically, 6-panel drug test kits test for three to five drugs, but some are even able to test up to twelve different drugs. There are some who have the additional ability to test for alcohol or tobacco use.
Home test kits usually contain a few drugs, like these ones, which are considered staples. A few of them are:
· Cannabis - Marijuana: Yes, a home test will detect good old Mary Jane, too.
· Opiates: A major concern in modern society is the misuse and abuse of opiates, whether they are prescription drugs or illegal street drugs. Unfortunately, even heroin and codeine can be detected by home drug tests, alongside oxycodone, morphine, and even morphine.
· Amphetamines: Students, parents, and professionals worldwide are increasingly taking amphetamines. These drugs are mostly taken at a time when the level of stress is quite a lot high. Hence, these stimulants can be a lot perfectly safe if prescribed and thus used properly, but the potential for abuse is rather a bit higher.
· Cocaine/Crack: Considering that new substances are always emerging and causing concern, drugs such as cocaine and crack are perhaps less talked about now than they were several years ago. Although both of them are still used, it makes sense to test them with a home kit since people don't stop using them.
Home drug tests: How to use them
A home 6-panel drug test is one of the easiest things you can do in life. A fresh urine sample, a test card, and a test subject are all you need to start. It's so easy to use a home test once you see how easy it is, but be careful not to become overwhelmed by all the steps:
1. You get the chance to collect the sample yourself or have someone else do it for you. You can collect your samples in the new plastic or the paper cup. Any clean cup will do, but if you're feeling adventurous, use a Dixie cup or party cup instead. You'll also find specimen cups in some test kits.
2. The urine must be allowed to cool to room temperature before being tested in order to yield the best results. However, most test instructions suggest that the sample be used within 24 hours. Additionally, if you kept the test card in a refrigerator, let it reach room temperature.
3. Take the card out of the packaging and open the kit. You also have to remove the plastic. After that, submerge the whole test card in the urine sample for a maximum of 10 seconds with the arrows which are pointing down.
4. Place a paper towel on a flat surface and place the newly saturated test card there. You should be able to see your 8-panel drug test results on the card pretty quickly, so keep an eye on it.
