Finally, lab-quality

oral fluid rapid testS for THC and other drugs.

The world of drug testing is undergoing a major transformation, and nform is leading the charge. Urine tests are invasive, prone to adulteration and specimen substitution, and unsuitable for specifically detecting recent marijuana use. Back-to-lab tests can take 24-96 hours to deliver results, creating stress and uncertainty for individuals and organizations alike. Faster and more accurate alternatives are needed, and we are proud to offer the solution. The nform rapid oral fluid tests offer an observed specimen collection process, which can be administered by anyone, anywhere. In minutes, our tests deliver unmatched lab-like accuracy, meeting the strict SAMHSA laboratory screening standards for both sensitivity and specificity. With nform, we are revolutionizing drug testing as we know it.

Michael Vincent, CEO

A diagnostics veteran with over 30 years of experience in toxicology, Michael's background spans entrepreneurship and senior corporate executive roles. During his ownership of Immunalysis and subsequent acquisition by Alere (NYSE:ALR), he steered the development of the world's largest opioid laboratory urine drug screening panel and advanced oral fluid specimens as an alternate biological matrix to urine in toxicology laboratory testing. His team obtained FDA clearance for 20 toxicology products, including 2 oral fluid collection devices. After Abbott’s (NYSE:ABT) acquisition of Alere in 2017, Michael headed R&D for the Toxicology Business Unit and was a member of the Abbott Scientific Governing Board.

What are the advantages of Oral Fluid Testing vs. Urine Drug Testing for THC?

THC (delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive component in marijuana. THC can be detected in oral fluid immediately after marijuana use and is detectable for a matter of hours (at the SAMHSA screening cutoff of 4ng/mL). Oral fluid marijuana tests are designed to specifically test for this targeted chemical.

THC is metabolized by the body and converted into the non-psychoactive metabolite carboxy-THC (11-nor-9 carboxy-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). Carboxy THC is eliminated from the body in urine, and can be detected in urine for weeks following marijuana use. Urine marijuana tests are specifically designed to detect this marijuana metabolite.

Oral fluid marijuana testing provides significant advantages by detecting only recent drug use, as compared to urine testing.

What are some of the advantages of Oral Fluid Testing?

Collected under direct observation, significantly reducing the risk of specimen tampering or substitution.
Commonly viewed as less intrusive and more hygienic when compared to urine testing, providing for an improved overall user experience.
Collected on location, reducing collection time and cost, and eliminating the need to maintain dedicated collection facilities.
Provides significant advantages in detecting recent drug use, making it uniquely suitable for reasonable suspicion and post-accident testing.

Are the detection rates for drugs in Oral Fluid lower than that of Urine?

As per data from the Quest Diagnostics Drug Testing Index the urine drug testing positivity rates for the General US Workforce (more than 6 million tests) was 5.6% in 2021. The oral fluid drug testing positivity rates for General US Workforce (almost 2 million tests) was 7.3%.

What differentiates the nform product line from other rapid oral fluid drug tests?

nform’s oral fluid rapid tests are the first to meet the SAMHSA Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing screening cutoffs. Until now, these stringent drug screening cutoffs were only met by using laboratory drug tests.

nform THC is 10 times more sensitive than other on-market visual read oral fluid rapid tests, making it comparable to laboratory drug tests.

All tests on the nform 7 meet the cutoff requirements mandated by SAMHSA, including the requisite specificity to Cocaine, Hydrocodone, Hydromorphone, MDA, MDMA and Oxymorphone.

How does the nform product line ensure adequate specimen volume for initial screening and laboratory confirmations?

nform’s untreated cotton collection pad, with a volume adequacy indicator, collects 1 mL of oral fluid (minimum recommended volume as per the SAMHSA guidelines) which is then added to 3 mL of nform’s stabilizing buffer in a collection tube. This ensures adequate specimen volume to perform the screening test and to perform laboratory confirmation for multiple drug classes without the need to collect a second specimen. The collection tube is processed in the laboratory without the need for special tools to break the test housing apart to access the specimen.

When will the nform product line be available?

Coming soon in early 2024.
