Faster decisions with a cleaner chain-of-custody story
Traditional drug DUI processes can require transport, waiting for additional resources, and delayed collection.
Oral fluid testing helps agencies screen closer to the time of the stop and maintain documentation from observed collection through confirmation.
OraTek is designed for observed collection, rapid screening, and defensible confirmation workflows.
EZ Saliva-II™
A roadside DUI workflow built for speed and defensibility
Use split-sample oral fluid collection to support immediate screening decisions and preserve a lab-ready specimen from the same stop.
Designed to reduce delays and disputes at the roadside
Breath testing can address alcohol quickly. When drug impairment is suspected, agencies often rely on transport-first workflows for confirmation.
OraTek is designed to support on-scene screening and preserve a lab-ready specimen from the same stop when confirmation is required.
Breath Testing
Measures alcohol only, not drugs
No specimen for lab confirmation of drug impairment
Drug suspicion still requires a separate workflow
Transport-First Blood Draw
No on-scene drug result
Confirmable specimen, but collected later than the stop
Transport plus medical collection and more handoffs

FAQ
What agencies ask first
Is this a replacement for lab confirmation?
Oral-fluid screening provides rapid preliminary information. When evidentiary confirmation is required, OraTek supports workflows that preserve a lab-ready specimen and maintain documentation.
How does this help with chain-of-custody?
OraTek devices are designed for observed collection with tamper controls and documentation, helping agencies maintain a clear chain-of-custody narrative from collection to confirmation.
How many substances can be screened?
OraTek supports configurable screening panels, allowing agencies to align field screening with their operational needs and confirmation policies.
Does this require special facilities or medical staff?
Oral-fluid collection is non-invasive and designed for field use. Agencies can implement standardized training for consistent collection and documentation.
