This method is very fast and produces results within a few minutes. Moreover, the kits are portable and are available in wide ranges depending on accuracy, type of drug testing required and the cost of the kits. These devices are accurate and have a quick turn around time at affordable prices. Again, these are very convenient due to the kit’s portability. There are integrated rapid drug screen kits that come even with specimen collecting cups, which make it easy to collect the specimen anywhere and conduct the test. However, many times after this first screening, there should be a complete and advanced drug test to exactly trace the drug type and volume which is called a quantitative analysis. This is usually performed by Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectroscopy.
