Drug test. For other uses, see Drug testing (disambiguation). A drug test is a technical analysis of a biological specimen, for example urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or oral fluid/salivaâto determine the presence or absence of specified parent drugs or their metabolites.
This test requires a urine sample. The sample is taken by placing a thin rubber tube (called a catheter) through the urethra into the bladder. A nurse or a trained technician may do this. First, the area around the opening of the urethra is thoroughly washed with a germ-killing (antiseptic) solution. The tube is inserted into the urethra. The urine drains into a sterile container, and the catheter is removed.
