SYSTEM FOR TESTING ABUSE DRUGS AND PROCESS TO DETERMINE THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF AN ABUSE DRUG

摘要

"apparatus and method of extraction for high sensitivity body fluid testing device". the present invention relates to an extraction apparatus and method for obtaining a fast, safe and highly sensitive test of any of the varieties of body fluids including saliva, blood, urine and other fluids for drugs of abuse or other analytes. the apparatus includes a lockable extraction rod to obtain body fluid samples from a subject that is adapted to maximize the portion of the body fluid sample that will go into a graduated flask containing a buffer solution, and a test device where the sample will be received and into which test strips can be inserted to determine levels of drugs of abuse or other analytes in the sample. in one of the methods of the invention, energy is transmitted to the sample and the buffer solution, such as through agitation, and this facilitates the reduction of viscosity of the sample, as well as promoting the decrease of mucins when the sample is saliva.
