DrugCheck 3000, the latest drug testing device from safety technology supplier 8299 Drager, has been developed for the transport and logistics sector and has been designed to test for impairment, as opposed to historical drug use, in up to five banned substances. This ensures a clear focus on making sure workers are fit and safe to work.

The disposable kit employs the testing principle of the company’s Type Approved DrugTest 5000 system, which is used by many police forces and workplaces around the country.

DrugCheck 3000 consists of two easy-to-use components – a swab for obtaining a saliva sample and a test cassette for the analysis. It can test for cocaine, opiates, amphetamine, methamphetamine and cannabis.

The compact saliva-based test yields reliable results and is easy to use and shows within minutes if a person has drugs in his or her system. It doesn’t require mains power and can be used anywhere, making on-the-go testing quick and convenient.
