ProScreen Urine Drug Testing Cup2019-08-23T02:54:24+00:00

ProScreen Cup Urine Drug Test

The Most Reliable and Accurate Drug Testing Device

ProScreen’s Cup is the most accurate all-in-one urine test drug cup in Australia. It guarantees results in one to two minutes and verified to the Australian Standard AS 4308:2008. The ProScreen Cup tests the urine of the donor to detect any illicit drugs in their system. The ProScreen Cup is the best testing method in detecting the use of illicit drugs within the workplace or even at home.

The ProScreen Urine Testing Cup is commonly used by laboratories, government agencies, and corporations across Australia. It has been at the forefront of urine testing in Australia and the US for many years.

ProScreen Cup has been specifically designed to detect an array of illicit drugs such as cocaine and amphetamines. With the rising use of illicit drugs in the workplace and the repercussions, it has on the businesses, more and more employers are creating their “no tolerance to drug policies within the workforce” and will often pre-screen new employees. By implementing such practices it protects the business from liability.

The ProScreen Urine Testing Cup comes with built-in validity features to ensure that the specimen provided is, in fact, a valid specimen. One of these features includes temperature. When urine is eliminated from the body it is usually at the same temperature as the body. The average adult body temperature is between 36.1°C to 37.2°C. There is a temperature strip bar on the device to measure the specimen sample. If the specimen is not within this range (or in close proximity) then the specimen is fake.

Likewise, the other built-in specimen-validity tests to defeat specimen adulteration include pH, creatinine, Nitrite, bleach, and specific gravity test. These elements, if are incorrect, will also indicate if the sample provided is a valid specimen. If the sample provided passes these tests then you can be confident that you have a valid specimen.

The drugs that can be detected by the ProScreen Cup include marijuana (THC), cocaine (COC), amphetamines (AMP), methamphetamines (METH), opiates (OPI), and benzodiazepine (BZO). By detecting an illicit drug it enables the employer to be proactive and prevent any possible harm to their employees or the public.

  • The ProScreen is accurate and verified to the Australian Standards AS 4308:2008.

  • Results are fast and can typically be ready within 1-2 minutes.

  • The device has a built in Specimen Validity test to ensure the sample has not been altered in any way.

  • Collector Activated Cup – this simply means that the collector controls the process, not the donor.

  • Test for six drugs: Tetrahydrocannabinol THC / Cocaine COC / Amphetamines AMP / Methamphetamines METH / Opiates OPI / Benzodiazepine BZO.

  • Complete the appropriate paperwork;

  • Donor provides specimen in the cup;

  • Collector places the lid on the cup;

  • Verify the temperature of the specimen;

  • Tilt the cup to activate the test and read the results;

  • Negative result indicated by a line in the test area; and

  • Positive result indicated by the absence of a line in the test area.

Test Cut Off Levels – this level is determined by the Australian Standards (what is considered an unaccpetable level).

  • Tetrahydrocannabinol THC : 50ng/ml

  • Cocaine COC : 300ng/ml

  • Amphetamines AMP : 300ng/ml

  • Methamphetamines METH : 300ng/ml

  • Opiates OPI : 300ng/ml

  • Benzodiazepine BZO : 200mg/ml

Tetrahydrocannabinol THC – is a chemical found in the plant marijuana. THC stimulates the cells in the brain to release dopamine which in turn creates euphoria. It can induce hallucinations, change thinking and cause delusions. The effect can last about two hours and will start affecting a person within 10 to 30 minutes of ingestion. However, psychomotor impairment may continue after the perceived high has stopped. A few side effects include elation, anxiety, tachycardia, short-term memory recall issues, sedation, relaxation, pain relief and more. Marijuana has many “street names” such as pot, weed, grass, and dope (plus much more).

Cocaine COC – is derived from the plant Coca and is a powerfully addictive stimulant drug. It was widely used in the early 1900’s as an ingredient of their many tonics and elixirs. Over time, research showed that cocaine was not only highly addictive but it was also altering the brain structure of repeat user. The user can feel euphoria, invincibility, wellbeing, paranoia, and aggression to name just a few side effects. Long-term effects can include insomnia, exhaustion, depression, weight loss, and sexual dysfunction to name a few. Cocaine is also known as coke, powder, snow, and blow.

Amphetamines AMP – is a synthetic drug which is an addictive stimulant drug. A combination of chemicals are combined to create amphetamines. Some types of amphetamines are legally prescribed to treat ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and narcolepsy (uncontrollable urge to sleep). Effects include staying awake, lessen inhibitions, anxiety, paranoia, aggression, and depression to name a few. Amphetamines go by a number of names such as ICE, speed, crystal meth, upper, and meth to name a few.

Methamphetamines METH – similar to amphetamines, methamphetamines are a synthetic drug which is an addictive stimulant drug. Methamphetamine increases the amount of the natural chemical dopamine in the brain which is involved in the body movement, motivation, and reinforcement of rewarding behaviours. The effects methamphetamines include increased wakefulness, decreased appetite, increased blood pressure, dental problems, and intense itching and skin sores to name a few. Methamphetamine also is known as chalk, crank, crystal, ice, and speed.

Opiates OPI – are highly addictive depressants which means they slow down your central nervous system. There are synthetic opiates such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, and fentanyl and plant based opiates derived from the poppy plant called heroine. Opiates are used as a pain relief and induce sleep. The effects of prolonged opiate use includes, respiratory depression, lethargy, depression, anxiety, itching, insomnia, and much more. Opiates are also known as H, hammer, gear, smack, and horse, to name a few.

Benzodiazepine BZO – are an addictive depressant that slows down your central nervous system. Benzodiazepine are a group of drugs called tranquillizers. Tranquilizers are known to make a person feel relaxed, drowsy, no energy, dizzy, and even affect their memory. Commonly known benzodiazepines include Valium, Rohypnol, and Rivotril. Long-term effects include no energy, headaches, skin rashes, weight gain, and depression to include a few. Benzodiazepines are also known as benzos, rowies, vals, downers, and sleepers.

Specific Gravity Test – Urine specific gravity test compares the density of urine to the density of water. This is a quick test to test to determine if your kidneys are diluting your urine correctly. If your urine is either too concentrated or too weak, this can be an indication that there might be an underlying cause. In these circumstances, it can also indicate an invalid specimen.

What happens if the test is Non Negative (positive)?2018-10-11T15:04:19+00:00

If a test is positive (non negative) this is an indication that one or more of the illicit drugs were detected in the specimen. The donor is informed that they have failed the drug test. If the test has been requested by the employer, they too are notified of the failed drug test. It is at this time that the specimen is sent to an accredited laboratory for confirmation of the failed test if the employer wishes to do so.

With regards to a positive test for alcohol, under the Australian Standards when the first test is conducted you must wait 15 minutes and then conduct another test. Most think this is to see if the level has gone up or down but waiting 15 minutes is actually to allow the breathalyser to reset itself ready for the next test. Please note that all results should be recorded and we can supply the correct paperwork for this to be done.

Will I lose my job if my test is positive?2018-10-11T13:55:04+00:00

This is up to the employer and they will refer back to their own policies. Each company may have their own policies in relation to workplace drug and alcohol usage and you should ensure that you are familiar with these policies. At the end of the day, we do not dictate what happens to your employment and this is an issue you will have to address employer.

Are my employee’s privacy rights being violated?2018-10-11T15:07:48+00:00

Privacy is something that we take very seriously and everyone involved can be assured that their privacy will be protected. If an employee fails a test, this information will only be provided to the employee and the employer.

Are there any safety concerns using this test?2020-09-02T23:03:43+00:00

There are no safety concerns for the donor or the collector. The ProScreen Cup (the urine drug test) is easy to do and cause no discomfort at all. Specimen cups are handed out by the collector who wears gloves. Those being tested must provide the designated amount of urine, which is less than a typical trip to the bathroom. The donor returns the sample to the collector for evaluation.

For the First Sign Saliva Drug Test, there are no safety concerns. The collector hands the donor a swap to gently chew to provide their specimen. The collector wears gloves to protect the integrity of the swap.

Each time the Alcolizer Breatherlyser is used for the purpose of a test a new disposable mouthpiece is used.

Can I use any drug testing device?2020-09-02T23:00:26+00:00

It is always best to use an Australian Standards device such as the ProScreen Urine Test Cup and the First Sign Saliva Drug Test. When not using an Australian Standard device you run the risk of producing false positive results. A false positive can damage the employee’s reputation as they have “failed” a drug test. You may have to stand them down whilst their results are being analysed by an authorised laboratory (depending on your company policy), they may be treated “differently” in the workplace, and they have to endure the stress of not knowing what will happen to their job if the test comes back positive. As an employer, you may be exposing yourself to civil proceedings by performing a drug test with a device that is not compliant to Australian Standards.

What happens if I refuse to supply a specimen for the purposes of testing?2020-09-02T22:57:07+00:00

Refusal is often treated as a failure. Employers take a very dim view of any employee refusing to supply a specimen. Although you can not be forced to provide a specimen you need to check your what consequences you will face with your current employment. If you have any lawful or medical reason to not supply a specimen, you are best to discuss this with your employer prior to the test so alternative arrangments can be made if necessary.

What are the Australian Standards2020-09-02T22:56:40+00:00

Australian Standards are published documents setting out specifications and procedures designed to ensure products, services and systems are safe, reliable and consistently perform the way they are intended to. They establish a minimum set of requirements which define quality and safety criteria.
Can we have someone, in house, to administer the test?2018-10-11T13:51:13+00:00

The simple answer is yes as long as that person holds National Accreditation. We are here to support you in your testing needs. When you are testing a large group it may be beneficial to bring in an extra set of hands. We can also supply the devices to you and organise delivery.

What accreditation is required to administer a drug or alcohol test?2018-10-11T14:44:10+00:00

Any person administering a drug or alcohol test must be nationally accredited. You must successfully complete the Course in Workplace Drug Testing (breath alcohol) (oral fluid – saliva) (urine) 10275NAT. This is a Nationally Accredited specialist drug test training course developed by the Drug and Alcohol Testing Institute designed to train prospective drug and alcohol testing collectors. Your collector should have a copy of their accreditation for you to view.

How do you know the sample is in fact urine?2020-09-02T23:08:17+00:00

There are several indicators on the device that we use to check the validity of the specimen.

The ProScreen Urine Testing Cup comes with built-in validity features to ensure that the specimen provided is, in fact, a valid specimen. One of these features includes temperature. When urine is eliminated from the body it is usually at the same temperature as the body. The average adult body temperature is between 36.1°C to 37.2°C. There is a temperature strip bar on the device to measure the specimen sample. If the specimen is not within this range (or in close proximity) then the specimen is fake.

Likewise, the other built-in specimen-validity tests to defeat specimen adulteration include pH, creatinine, Nitrite, bleach, and specific gravity test. These elements, if are incorrect, will also indicate if the sample provided is a valid specimen. If the sample provided passes these tests then you can be confident that you have a valid specimen.

Why is this the best test to use?2018-10-10T13:21:43+00:00

Urine drug tests are considered more accurate over salvia drug tests for a number of reasons. Urines drug tests have well studied and documented for 30 years whereas the saliva drug test is relatively new and thus less studied and documented. Whilst saliva testing definitely has its advantages, such as ease of collection, it’s reliability, accuracy, and drug testing variety are limited.

Avoiding detection with a saliva drug test can be as simple as brushing your teeth or using a mouthwash prior to testing can produce a false positive. So too by consuming food that can alter the pH levels can produce a false positive. There are few accredited laboratories that are authorised to perform a confirmatory test on oral fluids. The target drugs are present in oral fluids only by accident and in very low concentration levels compared to the concentration levels of the target drugs in urine as the body expels the drugs as waste.

Can you beat a drug test?2020-09-02T23:07:00+00:00

There are many things on the internet that mislead people into thinking that tests can be beaten, but in reality, if the device is to Australian Standards then fooling the device is almost impossible.

The ProScreen Urine Testing Cup comes with built-in validity features to ensure that the specimen provided is, in fact, a valid specimen. One of these features includes temperature. When urine is eliminated from the body it is usually at the same temperature as the body. The average adult body temperature is between 36.1°C to 37.2°C. There is a temperature strip bar on the device to measure the specimen sample. If the specimen is not within this range (or in close proximity) then the specimen is fake.

Likewise, the other built-in specimen-validity tests to defeat specimen adulteration include pH, creatinine, Nitrite, bleach, and specific gravity test. These elements, if are incorrect, will also indicate if the sample provided is a valid specimen. If the sample provided passes these tests then you can be confident that you have a valid specimen.

The First Sign Saliva Test would be quite difficult to supply a fake specimen as they perform the test in front of a Nationally Accredited collector.

Why is important to use a device that has Australian Standards approval?2018-10-11T13:46:41+00:00

Australian Standards ensure that the device is of high quality and performs in a manner that the manufacturer claims. Ultimately, this means that you are using a device that is highly accurate which will avoid any issues such as providing false positives.

What workplace industry can use this test?2018-10-11T13:50:05+00:00

At the moment Drug and Alcohol Testing is being pushed into many wide and varied industries. Traditionally, it used to be with those employees that work in an industrial area or around heavy machinery. But now, the industries we are performing Drug and Alcohol Tests are broadening to include delivery drivers, employees that deal with the public, use tools and appliances (such as air compressors and deep fryers) or even in areas with sharp tools and equipment (such as automatic cutting devices). In short, any workplace industry can request an employee to submit to a drug test to ensure the safety of the public and your staff.
