Buying Guide: How to Choose a Reliable THC Saliva Test
When it comes to screening, whether for road safety, the workplace or personal prevention, it is essential to choose reliable and compliant tests. However, the market is full of offers that may seem attractive but sometimes hide compromises on quality.
At AMA Prevention, located in the premises of Toda Pharma laboratories, official distributor of Drugdiag screening tests, we are committed to informing you and protecting you against the pitfalls of cheap products and false promises.
The myth of French manufacturing: Be careful!
Many companies present themselves as French, but this does not necessarily mean that their products are made in France. It is crucial to distinguish a company registered in France from a product that is actually manufactured locally.
Why does this matter?
- Controlled quality : Tests manufactured in France comply with strict standards (CE, ISO 13485), guaranteeing reliable and secure results.
- Traceability and transparency : You know where and how the product is designed.
- Environmental impact : Local manufacturing reduces the carbon footprint.
Negative reviews of some manufacturers show that consumers were disappointed to discover that tests advertised as "French" were in fact made in China, raising doubts about the quality and reliability of the results obtained.
For example, one user reported that the tests ordered on Amazon did not meet the expected standards, leading to great disappointment after inconsistent results during a workplace screening. Yet this company does not hesitate to highlight "French Company" even though their products are manufactured abroad.
Detection Threshold: The Importance of the 15 ng/ml Detection Threshold
Some tests display a detection threshold of 50 ng/ml, higher than the legal requirements in France, set at 15 ng/ml.
Beware of those who don't even display the detection threshold of their tests!
The risks of a threshold that is too high:
- A 50ng/ml test may miss traces of THC, providing a false sense of security.
- This can compromise effective prevention, particularly for drivers or in the workplace.
With the Toda Pharma Drugdiag test:
- Calibrated at 15 ng/ml, it scrupulously complies with French legislation.
- It guarantees precise detection even at low concentrations, essential for enhanced security.
Users have reported that tests from some brands, such as those available online from French sites, with their high threshold, have not detected traces of THC, leading to embarrassing situations and unforeseen risks, particularly in road safety contexts where zero tolerance is required.
The True Cost of a Quality Saliva Test
Producing a highly accurate medical saliva test requires quality materials and rigorous processes.
Why are some tests so cheap?
- Reduced quality : Less precise materials or minimal control processes.
- Manufacturing overseas : Often in countries with more lax standards.
- Lack of legal compliance : Tests not calibrated for the French market, such as thresholds at 50 ng/ml.
Several online reviews warn against cheap saliva tests from some manufacturers, citing inferior quality and inconsistent results, particularly due to their manufacturing outside the European Union. One customer mentioned that uncertified tests he purchased failed to provide reliable detection, putting his business at risk.
How to avoid scams and make the right choice?
Here are some tips for buying with confidence:
- Check compliance : Make sure the test is CE certified and ISO 13485 compliant, which can guarantee you European manufacturing quality that meets strict medical requirements.
- Ask for the origin : A test actually made in France offers additional guarantees.
- Inspect the detection threshold : Favor tests calibrated at 15 ng/ml, adapted to French regulations. (decree n° 2016-1152 of August 24, 2016, supplemented by the order of December 13, 2016)
- Beware of low prices : A medical-grade test cannot be low-cost without compromising the quality and reliability of the results obtained.
