Defensibility Framework
Clear steps, controlled handling, and documented outcomes
Defensibility is less about a single claim and more about a consistent, repeatable process: observed collection, secured sample handling, documented custody, and quantitative laboratory results when required.
Built for Scrutiny
What makes a drug testing workflow defensible
OraPlex™ helps agencies build confidence through observed collection, secured sample handling, and a quantitative confirmation pathway.
Chain-of-Custody
Observed Collection and Documented Handling
A defensible process begins with collection designed for observation and custody documentation from the first touchpoint.
Split-Sample Logic
Preliminary and Confirmatory Path
With OraPlex™, screening and a quantitative confirmation pathway come from one observed collection.
Confirmation
Break-Off Vial for Laboratory Follow-Through
When confirmation is required, OraPlex™ preserves a split sample in a break-off Eppendorf vial for documented transfer.
OraPlex™
One device that supports chain-of-custody and confirmation
Build a repeatable process for observed collection, secured handling, and quantitative confirmation using OraPlex™.
FAQ
Questions about defensible oral fluid testing
What does split-sample mean?
OraPlex™ is designed so one observed collection supports preliminary screening plus a preserved split sample for quantitative confirmation when required.
How is chain-of-custody supported?
OraPlex™ emphasizes observed collection, secured sample handling, and standardized documentation so agencies can maintain a clear custody narrative from collection through lab receipt.
Can confirmation be performed at certified laboratories?
When confirmation is required, OraTek supports workflows built for certified labs and documented transfer. Policies vary, so we tailor the pathway to your agency and lab partners.
What does rollout and training look like?
OraTek provides a repeatable collection workflow that supports consistent procedure across officers, shifts, and units.
