Our Drug Testing Services
Urine Testing
Urine testing is the preferred drug testing method for most companies. With its reliability in legal defense, cost-effectiveness, and capacity to test for a wide variety of drugs, it makes sense why. Federally-mandated companies are only allowed to use the most up-to-date panel for the Department of Transportation (DOT) Urine Drug Test. Non-DOT companies seeking urine drug testing commonly use our non-DOT 5-panel or non-DOT 10-panel urine drug tests.
Hair Follicle Testing
When a person uses a substance, the substance absorbs and metabolizes in the bloodstream. Blood flow feeds hair growth. Therefore, any used substances and their metabolites embed in the hair. Our hair follicle drug and alcohol testing differentiates between the metabolites and the actual drug. Because of this, the possibilities of a false positive are minimal.
Oral Fluid Testing
Saliva or oral fluid-based drug testing detects drug use minutes to hours after the event. Donors can collect their own oral fluid samples on-site while someone monitors. Direct supervision reduces the risk of tampering.
Breath Alcohol Testing
A Breath Alcohol Test (BAT) estimates blood alcohol concentration (BAC). Specifically, the test measures the amount of alcohol in the air exhaled by the subject. The testing procedures for DOT breath alcohol testing are outlined in 49 Code of Federal Regulations Part 40. The procedures are very specific and must be followed whenever the employer requests a DOT-required alcohol test.
Random Testing
Random testing is conducted on an unannounced, unpredictable basis. In random testing, employees place their employee number or social security number in a testing pool. Employers utilize a computer-generated scientifically arbitrary selection. Therefore, each employee has an equal chance of qualifying for testing. This is true regardless of whether that person recently took a test or not. Soteria’s software platform manages random drug and alcohol testing programs for both non-DOT and DOT employers alike.

Physical Exams
Soteria Screening Laboratories is a part of eScreen Occupational Health Network (EOHN). Moreover, we provide DOT and Non-DOT physical exams through a technology-enabled screening system accessible online.
DOT Physicals
Commercial vehicle operators must go through Department of Transportation (DOT) medical exams at least once a year. To clarify, they must go through exams conducted only by certified Medical Examiners. At Soteria, we offer DOT physical exams nationwide through the EOHN. Our medical examiners have appropriate licensure to perform DOT physicals in adherence to DOT regulations.
Non-DOT Physicals
We also offer non-DOT physical exams for employment, sports, camps, schools, or general health. As a result, we help employers ensure that employees are in good health.
