Oral Fluid Science & Technology Podcast, Part 1
In Current Consulting Group’s 25th Annual Drug Testing Industry Survey conducted in 2023, 46% of survey participants predicted that oral fluid will be the most used drug testing method in the future, the same percentage that predicted it will still be urine.
In a recent conversation with a client, Brian Feeley, Current Consulting Group’s Vice President, predicted that between lab-based and rapid-result tests, 50-60% of all drug tests will be oral fluid in the not-too-distant future. Brian spent 26 years leading sales for OraSure Technologies, the number-one recognized brand name in lab-based oral fluid testing according to Current’s survey. He has devoted a large portion of his career to presenting oral fluid testing as an alternative to other drug testing methods. He has seen interest in oral fluid testing increase slowly but steadily during career… until 2019 when SAMHSA approved it, 2022 when DOT issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for oral fluid testing, 2023 when DOT issued its final regulations, and finally 2023 when 86% of drug testing providers in Current’s annual survey indicated they now offer oral fluid testing, up from 35% just five years ago.
In this episode of Currently Speaking, Bill Current and Brian Feeley discuss the state of oral fluid drug testing and what you need to know to implement this methodology today. This is the first in a series on oral fluid testing.
