The urine drug test is the oldest and most commonly used method of drug testing. Urine drug testing is an inexpensive and quick method of screening for drug use.

Other benefits of urine drug tests are that they are safe and minimally invasive. Results are usually returned within 24 to 48 hours, and employers appreciate the quick turnaround time.

There are dozens of convenient testing labs in every city. Convenience is a main factor in choosing urine tests. Testing centers are usually located near the company and the visits are short. The prospective employee simply signs in, fills out a few releases, and urinates in a cup. The employee is generally allowed to partially close the restroom door for privacy. Since many urine tests are designed to detect masking agents, the need to urinate in full company has been virtually eliminated. The entire process lasts about 20 minutes and employers receive the results within hours.

Although urine drug testing is the most common method of pre-employment drug screening, some creative individuals have developed tools to beat this test. Online and in specialty shops, you’ll find a wide array of easily obtainable products for this purpose. For example, a person may purchase urine from a “clean” person, store it in a thin plastic bag strapped to their leg, and use it in their own drug test.

In the process of laboratory testing for masking agents, synthetic urine was created. It comes in a powder or liquid ready-to-use form. The powder is mixed with water and comes with a container and attached thermometer. The temperature is guaranteed to remain stable and keep the synthetic urine fresh for up to several hours. It contains all of the properties tested for in a urine sample. The body temperature and chemicals normally present in human urine are detected and it is very convincing.

Although urine drug testing is easy to do, minimally invasive, and inexpensive, employers know that it is also the easiest method to evade. Because a variety of methods can be used to cheat on urine tests, many employers choose drug testing methods that use sweat, saliva, or hair samples. These other methods may not be as convenient or inexpensive, but they are more reliable.
