Catalog No. S40778

Description

Drug testing comes in two forms: Presumptive and Confirmatory. Because of the cost associated with confirmatory testing, a presumptive test is often employed first. While there are various forms of presumptive drug testing, two of the most common techniques are immunoassay testing and thin-layer chromatography.
