  • What is a drug screening test?

    A drug screening test is used to detect the presence of drugs in bodily samples. These tests may be qualitative, such as rapid urinalysis testing that provides quick results, or quantitative, which deliver numerical results through more advanced laboratory analysis. At our drug testing center in Austin, TX, we offer both types of testing to meet employment, legal, and compliance requirements while providing accurate and reliable results.
  • Are the rapid drug tests as accurate as GC/MS?

    Urine drug tests are qualitative screening tools that detect the presence of drugs at levels comparable to SAMHSA cut-off concentrations. GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry), on the other hand, is a laboratory method that measures the exact concentration of drugs in a sample. Although GC/MS testing is more time-consuming and costly, it provides precise and reliable results. At our drug testing center in Austin, TX, ProResults Drug & DNA Testing offers GC/MS confirmation testing for clients who require exact quantification. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, workplace drug use costs employers approximately $81 billion annually in lost productivity, making accurate testing essential for maintaining a safe and stable work environment.
  • What should I know before completing a DNA paternity test?

    DNA collection is a simple, noninvasive process that involves obtaining two cheek swab samples from each participant. To help maintain accurate results, participants should avoid eating, drinking, smoking, or chewing gum for at least 30 minutes before their appointment. At our DNA testing center in Austin, TX, valid government-issued photo identification is required at the time of collection for all legal DNA testing to verify each participant’s identity.
