Roche Introduces On-Site Drug Test

OPEN MINDS The Behavioral Health & Social Service Industry Analyst Industry News Roche Diagnostic Systems, Inc. has just introduced ONTRAK, an on-site drug test. The test involves a slide encased in plastic, in which a urine specimen is placed along with drops of three reagents, according to a report in the February issue of ‘Drugs In The Workplace’. The mixture is “read” by observing its appearance. The ONTRAK kit tests for amphetamines, barbiturates, cocaine, morphine and tetrahydrocannabinol. More information on the ONTRAK test is available from Gerald A. Marini, Roche Diagnostic Systems, Inc., One Sunset Avenue, Montclair NJ 07042 . . .
