Introducing a workplace drug testing programme requires confidence in the method behind it. This white paper explains the science behind fingerprint drug testing, showing how the body processes drugs, how sweat carries detectable substances, and why fingerprint sweat provides a valid sample for identifying recent drug use.
This free resource breaks down the biological mechanisms and screening technologies that underpin fingerprint drug testing and compares them with traditional methods such as urine and saliva testing. It gives organisations the clarity needed to decide whether this approach aligns with their workplace, policy, and safety objectives.
In this white paper, you will learn:
- How the body absorbs, metabolises, and excretes drugs, including detection through sweat
- How fingerprint drug testing works, including immunoassay and fluorescent detection technology
- How screening and confirmatory testing differ, and how results are interpreted
- How fingerprint testing compares with urine and saliva, including detection windows and reliability
Gain a clear understanding of the science behind fingerprint drug testing and how it supports accurate, reliable identification of recent drug use in workplace environments.
