Home Drug test kits are now available from specialist suppliers over the internet and in some shops. The choice of home drug tests can be confusing, but it can be simple if you first choose which drugs you need to test for and look for these on the test you are purchasing.
Most home drug tests use urine to test for the drugs being excreted. while messy and embarasing to collect, this form of home drug test does offer the longest detecting times for any home test kit. If you choose to test saliva, it will be easier to collect, but the detection times will be a lot less (14-24 hrs for most Drugs)
These codes are commonly used
Urine tests come in simple dip strip formats, cassette tests with pipettes, or panel or multi-panel combinations which simultaneously screen a single sample for a pre-determined group of drugs with individual results for each drug group. some panels come in collection cup systems which contain and retain the sample if needed for confirmation testing.

Many people consider purchasing a personal breathalyser at this time of year for self testing the morning after the night before.
The choice for consumers in the sub £60 market is quite large and the options and features offered by breathalysers can be confusing.
For personal testing we recommend breathalysers which have the follwing features.
1) Choose a unit with mouth tubes you put your lips round. Saving on mouth pieces may seem a good money saving idea, but blowing at a hole reduces the accuracy of the tests considerably
2) Choose a unit which samples for at least 5 seconds
3) Look for simple flow checking or error checking technology, so that only good samples are reported by the unit
4) Manufacturers accuracy should be at least +/- 0.01% BAC Anything less avoid.
5) Check the unit can be re-calibrated or that the sensor module is exchangeable.
The last feature is critcal if you expect the unit to last more than 6 months as it will require calibration service or sensor exchange to keep it accurate. Calibration setting is a consumable, like petrol in a car, the warrantee doesn’t cover the car stoping working because of an empty tank. Expect each sensor setting to last for 300 to 700 tests, but this is very variable.
Our personal recommendation for a good accurate personal breathalyser which wont disappoint the DA5000 breathalyser from ValueBreathalysers

Breathalysers are widely available for retail sale here in the UK. However, as a specialist item they are not yet sold alongside other electrical goods on the high street. The best place to reasearch breathalyser choice remains the internet.
Our advice is to only buy from a specialist breathalyser dealer, with a long history of selling consumer breathalysers and professional breathalysers, and whom are offering UK based customer support and breathalyser service facilities. Make sure they are offering a good range of products from multiple breathalyser manufacturers. Check out the service or calibration requirements of the breathalyser you are considering, and ensure that the breathalyser supplier offers these services.
Digital hand held breathalysers need not be expensive. A good quality and accurate breathalyser costs around the same as a tank full of diesel
