Who We Test
Employers
Businesses of all sizes use urine drug testing for pre-employment screening, random testing programs, post-accident testing, for-cause testing, and return-to-duty situations. Urine testing is a widely accepted method for workplace drug screening and is used for federally mandated programs, including DOT-regulated positions.
Individuals
People come in for personal verification, court-mandated requirements, probation compliance, and self-initiated testing. No referral is needed.
Legal Professionals and Courts
Attorneys, courts, and legal representatives in Austin and Travis County rely on our chain-of-custody protocols for results that support civil and criminal proceedings.
Schools and Athletic Programs
Students and athletes who must meet eligibility or program requirements can walk in without an appointment and receive results quickly.

Urine Test Panels and Options
We offer both instant screening and lab-confirmed urine drug testing, with customizable panels to match your specific requirements. Standard panel sizes in the industry include 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel configurations, each checking for a different set of substances. Common detectable substances include THC metabolites, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, methamphetamine, and phencyclidine (PCP), among others.
Urine tests detect drugs and their metabolites excreted in urine, typically capturing use within the past few days, though detection windows vary by substance and frequency of use. For DOT-regulated employers in Austin and Travis County, including CDL holders and transportation companies, we provide federally compliant urine drug testing that follows the requirements of 49 CFR Part 40.
What to Expect When You Come In
The process is straightforward. When you arrive, a certified collector verifies your ID and any required paperwork, then guides you to a private collection area for specimen submission. Bring a valid photo ID. If your employer or a legal representative provided a requisition form, bring that too. It speeds check-in.
After collection, we follow documented chain-of-custody procedures from specimen handling through result delivery. Negative results from instant screens are available in as little as 5 minutes. Non-negative screens are forwarded to a laboratory for confirmation, with results typically returned within one to two business days. Results are delivered securely to authorized parties, and our staff are available to answer any questions along the way.

Urine Drug Testing Compliance for Austin Employers
Texas gives employers broad authority to establish and enforce their own drug and alcohol testing policies. There are limited state-level restrictions on private employer testing, but policies should be clearly written and communicated to employees before testing begins.
Common testing scenarios for Austin businesses include pre-employment screening, random selection programs, post-accident testing, and reasonable-suspicion testing. For employers in safety-sensitive industries under DOT oversight, federal rules under 49 CFR Part 40 dictate which panel must be used, how specimens are collected, and which collectors are authorized to conduct the test.
At Fastest Labs of Downtown Austin, we help Austin employers navigate both Texas and federal requirements. Our advisory services cover policy creation, implementation, and ongoing program management so your drug-free workplace policy is clearly documented and consistently applied. DOT-regulated businesses in Travis County, including commercial trucking operations, charter and shuttle bus providers, and government vehicle fleets, can rely on us for compliant urine drug testing.
How Urine Testing Compares to Other Methods
Urine testing has long been the standard for federally mandated and DOT drug testing, valued for its validated detection windows, cost-effectiveness, and broad regulatory acceptance. For many employment and legal purposes in Austin, it’s a common choice.
Other specimen types serve different needs. Hair testing detects drug use over up to 90 days, making it an option when a broader history matters. Results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours. Saliva testing captures very recent use and is useful when direct observation of collection is required. Nail testing offers an extended detection window of approximately three to six months.
Fastest Labs of Downtown Austin offers urine, hair, saliva, nail, and sweat/skin drug testing at our Downtown Austin location. Our team can help you identify which method fits your situation before you come in. Call us at (512) 886-6977 to talk through your options.
