Administering the 10 Panel Drug Test for Alcohol
For administering the 10 Panel Drug Test for Alcohol using the alcohol strip, the human saliva is taken as the sample. This saliva test does not require the assistance of any medical professional and can be carried out by any individual. The 10 Panel Drug Test for Alcohol using saliva test strip can be performed by carrying out simple step by step instruction given in the kit.
To start with the 10 Panel Drug Test for Alcohol, one should not eat or drink anything at least 10 minutes before starting the test. Collect the saliva specimen in the sponge or absorption pad given in the kit. Otherwise directly collect the saliva in the clean container given in the kit. Open the package and take the alcohol test strip and make sure that the strip is intact and not damaged. Then dip the test strip which is the reaction pad into the saliva specimen until the pad is saturated. After 10 minutes take out the reaction pad out of the saliva and shake off the excess saliva from the reaction pad. After 2 minutes the results will be ready and compare the colour chart provided along with the kit, with the reaction pad. Do not check the result after 2 minutes because it would not be valid.
Interpretation of Result
The result of 10 Panel Drug Test for Alcohol using alcohol test strip and saliva is well analysed with the colour chart given in the kit. It is compared with the colour change in the reaction pad.
When there is no colour change in the reaction pad in comparison with the colour chart then the result is negative and the BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) would be less than 0.02%.
When a distinctive colour is fully developed in the reaction pad compared with colour chart then it is a positive result and the BAC is higher than 0.02%.
When the edge of the reaction pad alone has changed colour then the result is invalid and the reason behind this is the saliva specimen is not adequate for the reaction to take place.
