Sweat Patch Drug Test
The Sweat Patch drug test is designed to be worn for seven days and tests for THC, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, methamphetamines, PCP, Hydrocodone, Hydromorphone. An optional Fentanyl panel can be added to the Standard Panel. The sweat patch drug test consists of a collector pad held in place by a strong adhesive film. If the subject uses drugs while wearing the patch, a small portion of the drug and/or drug metabolite is excreted in the sweat and absorbed into the collector pad. The sweat patch drug test provides continuous monitoring for the entire time the subject wears the patch. The sweat patch is water-resistant so it stays on during showers and swimming. A sweat patch with extended opiate panel is also available.
Resists Tampering and Adulteration
None of the common methods used to defeat urine drug testing are effective with the sweat patch. Drinking fluids and ingesting cleansers have no effect on the sweat patch. High Times magazine gave the sweat patch an unintentional endorsement when it advised readers to avoid wearing the patch if possible.
Includes Laboratory LC/MS/MS Confirmation Testing
All sweat patch drug tests are analyzed by a certified laboratory. Cutoff levels correspond to levels of detection in urine. Non-negative screening results are confirmed using the platinum-standard LC/MS/MS methodology to produce evidential-quality results. The sweat patch has a long history of successful defenses against court challenges.

The sweat patch absorbes the sweat that contains the metabolite for cocaine. Refer to our drug detection window to see how long that drug may be detected through sweat. https://alcopro.com/resources/window-of-detection-tool/

It does not differ in terms of being able to catch the drug metabolites. We do recommend using the sweat patch overlay for people who excersize a lot to ensure the patch stays on during riggorous workouts. https://alcopro.com/product/pharmchek-sweat-patch-overlay/

Hi Wendy.
These are only for professional use and not for sale to the general public. The sweat patch can only be purchased by a substance abuse treatment professional or probation or drug court officer. We check all orders to make sure these are only being sold to drug testing professionals.

There could be a couple of reasons. You should avoid wearing lotions in advance of the patch being applied so the skin is clean and free of oils and residues. We also recommend the overlay for individuals who do heavy workouts.
