Toxicology Reporting

A toxicology test (drug tests or “drug screening”) look for traces of drugs in blood, urine, hair, sweat, and saliva. In simple words, a toxicology report can be referred as a document detailing the detection, isolation, and identification of chemicals, poisons, and toxins in a particular sample. Sometimes, toxicology report is required depending on the work policy of a particular company or institution. Doctors in some cases also need toxicology report for drug abuse or to carry out a healthy treatment.

Why Toxicology Test Is Needed?

There are certain cases where toxicology testing is required these include:

Lab Results

Once the test is complete, the toxins or chemicals found are listed in the report with positive and negative results.

Positive

Positive means the drug samples are detected in the given sample or at least few traces are found. In that case, check the result with another test. This second test is more accurate and can determine the type of toxin/chemical.

Negative

No drug was detected in your body or any given sample. This may be because you haven’t taken the type of drug that can be tested, or if you do, your body has already processed it.
