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, tamper controls, documented custody, and confirmatory laboratory results when required.
Built for Scrutiny
What makes a drug testing workflow defensible
OraTek helps agencies build confidence with process clarity: controlled collection, tamper resistance, and confirmation pathways.
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 EZ Saliva-II™, screening and a preserved lab-ready specimen come from one observed collection.
Confirmation
Certified Laboratory Follow-Through
When confirmation is required, EZ Saliva Quickswab™ supports collection designed for documented transfer and lab workflows.
Devices
Tools that support chain-of-custody and confirmation
Build a repeatable process for observed collection, secure handling, and lab confirmation using OraTek devices designed for documentation and review.
FAQ
Questions about defensible oral fluid testing
What does split-sample mean?
EZ Saliva-II™ is designed so one observed collection supports preliminary screening plus a preserved lab-ready specimen for confirmation workflows when required.
How is chain-of-custody supported?
OraTek emphasizes observed collection, tamper controls, 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.
