Oral fluid analysis is growing in popularity as an alternative to blood and urine analysis for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) detection. Oral fluid can be analyzed without the embarrassment of urine sample analysis or the pain incurred by blood analysis. Similarly, oral fluid analysis necessitates much less training in comparison with the extensive training required for blood analysis. Due to the low concentration of THC normally found in oral fluid and the low volume of oral fluid readily available for this type of analysis, oral fluid analysis is not, however, without its challenges. This article is located in the Core Database, document #614039.
