“…The sweat samples may be collected as skin swabs or through patches similar to bandages attached to the skin (Kacinko et al, 2005;Kidwell et al, 2003). These patches can be worn comfortably for several days (usually one week).…”

“…Sweat pads or wipes are simple adsorptive pads that are moistened with ethanol or isopropanol and used to wipe over the forehead or any other skin to collect moisture and sebum from the skin (89). Sweat patches, similar to small bandages, consist of an adhesive layer on a thin transparent film of surgical dressing to which an adsorbent cotton or cellulose pad is attached (90).…”

“…Fast patches (91,92) are designed to be applied for up to 30 minutes and rely on heating to induce sweating for specimen collection. Other types are designed for collecting sweat for up to 14 days (89,93,94), thus, the cumulative drug exposure may be studied. The latter type is not suitable for general population studies, but may be used to study relapse among drug addicts during treatment.…”

Blood, oral fluid (saliva), urine and hair are the most commonly used biological matrices for drug testing in epidemiological drug research. Other biological matrices may also be used for selected purposes. Blood reflects recent drug intake and may be used to assess impairment. Oral fluid reflects drug presence in blood and thereby also recent intake, but drug concentrations in this matrix cannot be used to accurately estimate concentrations in blood. Urine reflects drug use during the last few days and in some cases for a longer period, but does not indicate the dose size or frequency of use. Hair reflects drug use during several months, but is a poor matrix for detecting use of cannabis. If using a single drug dose, this can be detected in blood and urine if the sample is taken within the detection timeframes, in most cases also in oral fluid. Single drug use is most often insufficient for producing a positive test result in a sample of hair. For cocaine and amphetamine, weekly use may be needed, while for cannabis a positive result is not guaranteed even after daily use. Refusal rates are lowest for oral fluid and highest for blood and hair samples. The analytical costs are lowest for urine and highest for hair. Combined use of questionnaires/interviews and drug testing detects more drug use than when using only one of those methods and is therefore expected to give more accurate data.
