Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 04/24/2019 --Drug test is referred as analysis of biological samples such as urine, blood plasma, breath, and sweat. Specimen validity test (SVT) is defined as analysis of specimen to evaluate consistency with normal human urine. It is performed on specimen to detect dilution, substitution, or adulteration. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has provided guidelines that laboratories must follow while performing specimen validity testing. According to the SAMHSA guidelines, specimen validity testing consists of measurement of physical characteristics, creatinine level, specific gravity, pH, oxidizing adulterants, and interfering substances. SVT is an integral part of every urine drug screening and used routinely in several applications such as drug screening, pain management studies, and abuse testing.
Usage of illicit drugs is rising across the world. According to data published by the National Institute of Drug Abuse, illicit drug usage in the U.S. has been increasing. In 2013, an estimated 24.6 million people in the country aged 12 or older (9.4% of the population) had used an illicit drug. Rise in usage of illicit drugs is a key driver of the global specimen validity testing market. Moreover, strict laws mandating drug screening and government funding to control drug abuse are projected to fuel the growth of the global market during the forecast period. However, lack of awareness and emergence of alternative techniques are anticipated to hamper the growth of the global specimen validity testing market during the forecast period.
