Why Quantisal
Quantisal™ is the leading laboratory-based oral fluid drug test that combines the most advanced laboratory procedures with the efficiency of a simple, dignified specimen collection. With Quantisal™, samples can be collected anytime, anywhere. No restrooms are needed, gender issues are eliminated and the possibility of tampering and adulteration are significantly reduced because the specimen collection is directly observed. Quantisal™ offers the broadest menu of testing for illicit and prescription drugs to include:
Amphetamine/MDA Cannabinoids (Marijuana) Cocaine Opiates Oxycodone Propoxyphene |
Benzodiazepines Barbiturates Buprenorphine Carisoprodol PCP |
Fentanyl Meperidine Methadone Naltrexone Ethanol |
Tramadol Tricyclic Antidepressants Zolpidem Cotinine Fentanyl |
Key Advantages: Specimen Volume: Quantisal™ has a unique volume adequacy indicator that ensures enough specimen for screening, confirmation and repeat testing. When the tip of the Quantisal collection wand turns blue 1mL (+/-10%) of oral fluid has been collected. This avoids the possibility of not enough specimen for testing or “Quantity Not Sufficient” (QNS) results.
No Artificial Stimulants: Quantisal does not use artificial stimulants to increase saliva production. One study showed that oral fluid drug levels were 3.6 times HIGHER in specimens that were not stimulated compared to those collected after acid stimulation. 1
Drug Recovery: The amount of drug recovered from the Quantisal™ collection device provides confidence that even low levels of drug are detected. For most drugs, especially Marijuana (THC) , the amount of drug recovered from Quantisal™ is significantly higher than in other devices.
PERCENT DRUG RECOVERY FROM QUANTISAL AND OTHER DEVICES:
Stability: The buffer from the transport tube stabilizes the specimen once it has been collected. Research shows that most drugs are very stable in oral fluid with the exception of Marijuana (THC). THC may degrade rapidly in oral fluid in uncontrolled temperatures. The stability of THC in Quantisal™ at room temperature, refrigerated and frozen is far superior to other devices.
