LabOne, Inc. — Substance Abuse Testing Services

In partnership with OraSure technologies, Inc., LabOne announced the introduction of the Intercept^TM drug testing service in February 2000. Intercept is a laboratory-based service that identifies commonly used drugs of abuse in oral fluid samples. The Intercept test menu is used to detect THC, cocaine, opiates, PCP and amphetamines.

By eliminating the urine collection process, Intercept^TM provides an efficient, dignified and directly observable collection, which significantly reduces the possibility of sample tampering and adulteration.

To collect a sample with the Intercept^TM service, a test administrator asks the donor to place a treated collection pad between the lower cheek and gum for two to five minutes. The collection pad is then placed in a collection vial containing a preservative fluid to protect the sample. The vial is sealed and sent to LabOne, Inc. for analysis. Negative results can be reported within 24 hours from receipt at LabOne, Inc. and positive results are available within 72 hours.
