There’s Only One Gold Standard
Given the medical, legal, ethical and social implications of decisions based on drug screens, accuracy of results is critical. Syva® EMIT® DAT® technology has been the gold standard for over 40 years, unmatched by any other drugs-of-abuse technology.
“ADAM uses an immunoassay (EMIT® assays), to screen for the presence of drugs in urine. EMIT® tests have been shown to be one of the most consistently accurate drug testing methods, with greater than 95 percent accuracy and specificity for most drugs.”
National Institute of Justice. 2000 Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring: Annual Report. Available at: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/nij/adam/welcome.html. Accessed October 20, 2004.
As the most widely used and scientifically documented drug diagnostic technology, EMIT® is the only DAT screen recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court for accuracy and reliability, and to be held as defensible evidence in numerous published court decisions.
