Types of Testing
We Are Certified With:
Drug & Alcohol Testing
Urine
From a single panel to a 10-panel, our urine drug tests expose a wide variety of illegal and prescription drugs. This method is very simple, quick, and affordable, and used for federally-mandated drug testing. At Valley Testing, we can modify our panels to fit your testing needs for any type of circumstance.
Breath Alcohol
Our breath alcohol test displays recent abuse of alcohol in one's system. This test measures how much alcohol is in a person's breath, which is linked to the toxins in the blood stream. This test is suitable for personal uses, legalities, employment, and DOT-regulated business.
Hair
Traces of drugs can be detected through a collection of hair strands. For an accurate analysis, the collector will obtain, under direct observation, a 100-milligram sample of hair (approximately 90 to 120 strands) cut with scissors, from the top of one's head. This test is impossible to cheat and can detect drugs dating back up to three months.
Saliva
Saliva testing is done through a swab collection from the inside of the cheek. This oral test can determine metabolites of drugs-chemicals traced after the body has processed a particular substance. To ensure results, a participant must fast from food or drinks for at least 10 minutes prior to testing.
DNA
Our DNA Test consists of a collection of saliva and the completion of a "Chain of Custody" form. We then send the collection to Universal Genetics / Advanced Genetics, an AABB-Accredited laboratory, for DNA results.
E-Screen
E-Screen helps efficiently manage any drug test and donor-screening operations. Through the eCCF® paperless process, you'll have a cutting-edge process to handle all events including instant and lab-based drug testing, Department of Transportation (DOT) screening, occupational health services, and many more.
Instant Testing
Instant Tests are rapid urine screening tests that can be performed without the use of an instrument. The test utilizes monoclonal antibodies to selectively detect elevated levels of specific drugs in urine.
Drug & Alcohol Testing
Why Test for Alcohol?
Employers request breath alcohol testing to ensure safety in work environments and to declare that alcohol abuse will not be tolerated in their operations. Not only does alcohol damage the brain and liver, but it also disables your natural reflexes, impacts your memory, and creates impulsive behavior - none of which is tolerated by any employer when working. When you take a breath alcohol test, our professional equipment detects, ethyl glucuronide, the chemical that causes intoxication to prove or deny suspicious activity on the job.
Why Test for Drugs?
Testing your employees or new hires can ensure security in your workplace and expose drug abuse. The most common drugs found in our tests are marijuana, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, opioids, and methamphetamine. However, our drug screenings can detect any type of drug in one's system. Each drug has its own type of side effects - this can include but is not limited to impaired body movements, blockade of common senses, mental delusions and hallucinations, obscure judgment, and more.
