Transparency and precision

Our threshold values

Threshold values for the most common substances in saliva and urine. Our threshold values are the lowest on the market, giving you the best results.

What is a threshold value?

A threshold value (cut-off) is the level that determines whether a drug test is assessed as negative or positive. If the concentration of a substance (or its metabolites) is below the threshold, the sample is normally reported as negative, and if it is at or above the threshold, it is reported as positive. The threshold itself counts as a positive result.

Threshold values are used to make results more comparable and reduce the risk of trace amounts being misinterpreted. The threshold value is affected by sample type (blood, hair, saliva or urine), test method (rapid test or laboratory analysis) and the purpose of testing. Lower threshold values often mean higher sensitivity.

What is half-life?

Half-life is the time it takes for the amount of a substance in the body to decrease by half. The concept is used in pharmacology and toxicology to describe how quickly a substance is broken down and eliminated.

Half-life is affected by several factors, such as metabolism, dose, age, body composition and liver and kidney function. A longer half-life means the substance stays in the body longer, but it doesn't always mean it can be detected for the same duration in a drug test. Detection time also depends on sample type and test method.

Laboratory analysis

Why are low threshold values important?

Threshold values determine which concentrations of substances can be detected in a test. Lower threshold values mean longer detection time and higher precision.

  • Longer detection time – Low threshold values make it possible to trace substances longer after intake
  • Higher sensitivity – Detects even small amounts of substances that other tests miss
  • Better safety – Reduces the risk of false negative results in the workplace
