DrugPatch explained
Innovative and non-invasive, DrugPatch continually collects sweat to monitor for the use of drugs.
The method has been used for over 30 years in the USA and is court approved, so the results can play a key role in supporting your case.
The analysis is undertaken in a partner laboratory who have been assessed against ISO 17025 standards; accredited testing laboratory No. 29862
The process:
The DrugPatch is applied to the donor’s upper arm.
The patch continually collects sweat from the skin, only allowing small molecules like oxygen and water vapour to pass through.
Drug molecules pass through the film and collect on the absorbent pad.
The pad is removed and sent to the laboratory for testing. Results are reported as either positive or negative.
How it works
The donor wears the patch continuously for up to 10 days as a one-off exercise or as part of a 30/60/90 day abstinence programme. The patch is applied to the upper arm, ensuring comfort for the donor, and doesn’t interfere with everyday activities such as exercising or showering.
What substances does DrugPatch detect?
DrugPatch detects use of the most commonly used drugs as well as other substance groups.
