A drug screen kit is a collection tool used to obtain biological samples such as [urine](https://amhnationwide.com/urine-drug-testing/), saliva, or hair for laboratory analysis of drug use. These kits are designed to be used at authorized collection sites and are processed by one of five national lab networks: [Quest Diagnostics](https://www.questdiagnostics.com/), [LabCorp](https://www.labcorp.com/), Omega Labs, United States Drug Testing Labs, and ExperTox. The kit itself does not perform testing but ensures proper sample collection, chain of custody, and shipment to the lab. AMH Nationwide provides the lab order and directs individuals to a collection site; samples are never self-submitted directly to the lab. TYPES ## What types of drug screen kits are available? Drug screen kits vary by sample type and testing purpose. The most common kits include: Urine drug screen kits: Standard for workplace and DOT-regulated testing, using federally certified urine protocols under [49 CFR Part 40](https://www.transportation.gov/odapc/part40). Hair drug screen kits: Used for non-DOT roles to detect long-term drug use, usually up to 90 days [detection window](https://amhnationwide.com/hair-follicle-drug-test-detection-window/). Saliva (oral fluid) drug screen kits: Provide quick detection for recent drug use, typically within 24-48 hours. Each kit includes collection materials tailored to the sample type and instructions for certified collection personnel. DETECTION WINDOWS ## How do detection windows differ among drug screen kits? Detection windows depend on the specimen type collected by the drug screen kit: Urine tests detect recent drug use, generally within 1 to 4 days depending on the substance. Hair tests can detect drug use up to 90 days prior but do not detect very recent use. Saliva tests detect very recent use, usually within 24 to 48 hours. Choosing the correct drug screen kit depends on the testing objective, whether to identify recent or long-term drug use. PURCHASE OPTIONS ## Can I buy drug test kits for sale directly? AMH Nationwide does not sell drug test kits directly to individuals or employers for self-collection. Instead, we provide lab orders and direct the requester to one of 20,000+ certified collection sites nationwide. This process ensures chain of custody, proper collection protocols, and accurate lab analysis reviewed by a certified Medical Review Officer.

Quick drug test kits often refer to rapid immunoassay screening tools, usually used on-site for preliminary results. While these may provide immediate indications, confirmatory testing through certified labs is necessary for legal or employment decisions. AMH Nationwide routes samples collected via drug screen kits to national labs for confirmatory testing with full quality controls and Medical Review Officer oversight. DOT REQUIREMENTS ## What drug screen kits comply with DOT regulations? DOT-regulated safety-sensitive employee testing requires the urine drug screen kit utilizing federally certified collection protocols under 49 CFR Part 40. Hair drug screen kits are not accepted for DOT testing due to regulatory requirements. AMH Nationwide ensures all DOT tests are processed through authorized labs with certified protocols and MRO review.
