Detailed explanation-1: -A toxicology screen often requires a urine sample. The urine is collected in a small cup. In some cases, law enforcement or medical personnel are present to prevent tampering.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most commonly used type of blood for testing is venous blood. This type of blood carries deoxygenated blood to the heart. A specialist performs venipuncture to collect blood samples for toxicology, usually from a vein in the arm.
