Extraction of THC from oral fluid using SLE after collection with the Quantisal, Intercept & Oral-Eze collection devices

Oral fluid testing is gaining approval in the forensic toxicology community as a suitable tool to supplement urine and blood testing where misuse of drugs is suspected. A quick, dignified specimen can be obtained from a person relatively easily in workplace applications, drug driving incidents and other applications. Cannabis misuse continues widely all over the world, and this has led to the necessity for rapid and reliable methods for the analysis and quantitation of THC and its main metabolite 11-nor-9-carboxy-THC (THC-COOH). In addition, THCA is a marker which can show a distinction between Cannabis Sativa use and synthetic medicinal Dronabinol.
