Specialty Drug Testing in Tacoma

Beyond Standard Panels: Identifying Unknown Substances for Tacoma Clients

Fastest Labs of Tacoma provides Specialty Drug Testing for situations that fall outside a standard drug panel. We serve individuals concerned about possible drugging, employers addressing workplace safety, and anyone who needs unknown pill identification, syringe identification, or analysis of a suspicious substance.

With more than a decade of industry experience, FastestLabs provides drug, alcohol, DNA, and background testing for individuals and businesses. Our certified collectors conduct every collection with precision and confidentiality in a clean, comfortable facility.

Call (253) 201-3223 to discuss what needs to be tested and find out whether Specialty Drug Testing fits your situation.

What Specialty Testing Can Identify

Specialty Testing analyzes unidentified substances and screens for drugs, heavy metals, poisons, and toxins. It can also be used for testing liquid or food products for traces of harmful toxins, drugs, or chemicals. Results are confirmed in an industry-leading laboratory.

Available laboratory analysis can include:

  • Heavy Metals, Drugs, Poisons and Toxins
  • GHB and Novel Psychoactive Substances
  • Nicotine and Alcohol (ETOH or ETG)
  • Synthetic Cannabinoids
  • CBD vs THC (with or without Delta 8 and Delta 9 breakdown)
  • Tricyclic Antidepressants
  • Methamphetamine Isomers (D/L)
  • Hallucinogens
  • Antihistamines and Antifungal
  • Muscle Relaxants, NSAIDS, and Diuretics
  • Ketamine
  • Hypnotic/Sedatives

GHB is short for gamma-hydroxybutyrate. Novel Psychoactive Substances are emerging compounds designed to mimic established drugs. In alcohol analysis, ETOH refers to ethanol and ETG to an alcohol metabolite, while D/L distinguishes between different forms of methamphetamine.

Certified Collections & Clear Pricing

Our certified collectors follow established procedures and protect the confidentiality of every test. We strive to keep wait times under five minutes, though testing and individual collection requirements can affect the length of a visit.

Pricing varies by test type, so contact us for specifics. Most testing isn’t covered by insurance. We accept major credit cards, debit cards, and cash, and we currently offer a 10% military discount.

Preparing for Your Specialty Drug Test

Preparation depends on the specimen or item being analyzed. When you call, we can let you know whether an appointment or specific preparation is required.

Before your visit, remember to:

  • Bring identification: Carry a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport.
  • Bring authorization documents: If an employer is sending you, bring all paperwork or authorization forms they provided.
  • Plan for testing a minor: A legal guardian must be present with proper identification.
  • Limit excess fluids: Don’t drink excessive amounts before a urine test, as this can dilute the sample.
  • Confirm preparation: Most tests don’t require fasting, but we’ll advise you in advance if yours does.

Hear From Our Customers

  • “I needed a last minute drug test for my schooling. These guys were the only ones that even answered my call plus came in on the weekend and were super understanding.”
    - Erica M.
  • “Fast, professional. Highly recommend”
    - James C
  • “Fast, friendly and very efficient is how I would describe them. I would say I was in and out of there in 10 maybe 12 minutes maximum. It was absolutely spotless and better organized than any doctor's office I've ever been to. And the manager even helped me decide which future work location would be best as far as drive time from my residence as she knew the area well. The only thing is the street sign going into their complex says "Fletcher Dr." and not "Industrial Dr." so you might pass it up and have to circle back like I did.”

Specialty Testing vs. Standard Employment Drug Panels

Standard employment panels target a defined group of commonly screened drugs. Specialty Drug Testing extends the analysis to less common or unidentified substances, including Heavy Metals, GHB, Synthetic Cannabinoids, Novel Psychoactive Substances, and unknown pills or syringes.

The purpose of the test should guide the choice. Routine pre-employment or workplace screening may call for a standard panel, while an unexplained substance or a concern outside that panel may require specialty laboratory analysis. Beyond in-lab testing, we offer on-site mobile testing, policy creation, and ongoing program management. These services can support an employer’s broader testing program, while specialty analysis addresses unusual substance identification and workplace safety needs.
