Introduction
The SwabTek Cannabis Test Kit is a simple, single-use test kit that is
designed for cannabis detection. The test can be used to detect cannabis in
any kind of sample, including vape pens, edibles, plant material, surfaces,
etc. The test will detect any cannabis compound (cannabinoid) present in a
sample, including THC, CBD, and others.
The test consists of two separate pieces — a test swab and a test card — that
come sealed in air- and water-proof packaging. In original packaging, the test
kit components should last a minimum of five years from the date of delivery.
The test swab is used to collect your sample, and the test card contains the
reagent that is used to conduct your test. The entire testing process takes
less than 20 seconds to produce a result.
The solvent and reagents used in SwabTek’s products are non-toxic and non-
hazardous. Although you do not risk exposure to any chemicals from the SwabTek
test, users may opt to use gloves to protect themselves from the sample they
are testing.
SwabTek’s Cannabis Test Kit is an updated format of a previous version that
delivered the test reagent in a strip format. The previous version is referred
to as the “Generation 1 Cannabis Test Kit” or the “Marijuana/THC Test Kit.”
The Cannabis Test Kit is a part of SwabTek’s line of law enforcement
presumptive tests that are deployed by departments at the local, state, and
federal level around the world.
Cannabis Testing for Educators
The SwabTek Cannabis Test Kit enables schools and communities to protect their
youth against the use of cannabis and cannabis extracts. The test kit has
already been deployed in more than 1,200 schools across the United States, and
by dozens of Drug-Free Communities groups. The tests are the perfect solution
for schools that face issues with vape pens or food and beverages suspected of
containing cannabis.
The tests are free of any toxins or hazardous materials, meaning they are safe
to carry and deploy in schools without putting any students or staff at risk.
The sample swab uses a non-toxic and non-corrosive solvent for collection
which allows samples to be extracted from student belongings and school
property safely, and without causing any damage.
The tests are simple to use, and training is available for free online,
meaning any school resource officers, administrators, principals, and teachers
can become certified users of SwabTek’s Cannabis Test Kit.
The tests can be effectively deployed to screen confiscated vape pens, in
tandem with vape detection devices, or with SROs and dog teams that may be
present on school campuses.
Administrators who choose to deploy the test kits themselves can avoid
involving police in everyday enforcement of campus drug policy and can limit
offending students’ involvement with the criminal justice system at their own
discretion.
How the Test Works
SwabTek’s test is designed to detect cannabinoids, meaning any compound
derived from cannabis, including Δ-9 THC (the major psychoactive component of
marijuana), Δ-8 THC, Δ-10 THC, CBD, CBC, and CBN. The test will presumptively
check if these cannabinoids are present in the portion of the sample that is
tested. This means that a positive test result indicates that it is
presumptively likely that at least one cannabinoid is present in the sample,
in a detectable quantity.
This test cannot be used to discern which cannabinoid is present in the
sample, or how many different cannabinoids may be present. The test will not
show how much of the test target is present, how it is distributed across the
sample, or how strong the sample is. Presumptive tests are not designed to
give certain results and cannot replace a full lab analysis of your sample. A
presumptive test cannot be used to assert that substances are safe and cannot
be used to assert that substances are legal or illegal.
If you get a:
- Positive Result – It can be presumed that a cannabinoid is present in a detectable volume in the test sample.
- No Result – A cannabinoid cannot be identified in a detectable volume, so it cannot be presumed to be present. In the case of a negative, it is possible that the test target may not be present, may be present in an undetectable volume, or that it may be present and may be undetectable for another reason (a false negative result).
What the Test Detects
SwabTek’s Cannabis Test is designed to screen for cannabis by testing for
cannabinoids, which are the chemical components of cannabis plant. Since the
test screens for cannabinoids, it can be used on both plant material, or on
any derivative product that contains cannabis oil. Common derivatives that
this test can detect include extracts, tinctures, oils, creams, and gels that
contain cannabis, as well as any food product that uses cannabis oil —
cookies, brownies, gummies, candies, etc.
The test can also detect cannabis oil in vape pens, including residual oil
that remains even after the oil cartridge appears empty.
A list of common cannabinoids that the test will detect is as follows:
Cannabinoids
- Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) Δ-9, Δ-8, Δ-10
- Cannabidiol (CBD)
- Cannabichromene (CBC)
- Cannabinol (CBN)
Test Kit Packaging
The new SwabTek Fentanyl+ Test Kit is sold in boxes of 25.
Each carton is labelled with the variety of test, and the number of total
tests found in the carton.
In addition, each box is marked with information about the manufacturing lot,
including the lot number. This information is found on the side of the box,
and on the label.
Cannabis Test Sachet
The test consists of two pieces delivered in a single, air-tight sachet. Each
sachet is equivalent to one, single-use test.
The front of the sachet is labelled with the SwabTek logo, and the name of the
kit in the top right corner.
The sachet is also marked with basic information that is standard to all
SwabTek Test Kit products, including the URL to the products’ terms of service
(www.swabtek.com/terms).
The sachet measures 4.25” x 4.50”, and is divided into two compartments. The
narrower compartment on the left side of the sachet houses the Test Swab, and
the right side houses the Test Card.
To open the sachet and access the components of the test, the user must tear
open the sachet along the dotted line at top.
The top of the sachet must be removed completely to access the two separate
compartments.
Contents
The SwabTek Cannabis Test Kit consists of two pieces, delivered in a single,
sealed sachet.
1 x pre-treated SwabTek Test Swab
1 x reagent-treated dry paper SwabTek Test Card
Dual-Compartment Sachet
Test Card
Test Swab
The SwabTek Cannabis Test Card is a 3.5” x 2” paper card that consists of three separate sections. The top right corner of the test card is printed with the name of the test.
- Instruction Panels: These six images illustrate the steps in the testing process, and are available here for the user to reference. A complete description of the stages is available in the later sections of this manual.
- Test Zone: This is the site of the reagent that will be used in conducting the test. When combined with the sample from a test swab, this reagent will be responsible for the color change that will indicate the presumed presence of cannabis. Since the reagent is printed onto the test zone in a powder form, it may be inadvertently removed from the paper strip by physical abrasion or rubbing or contaminated by contact with another object. To avoid abrasion or contamination, the user should avoid holding the card by the test zone.
- Color Reference Panel: This color panel provides a quick reference guide for the colors that are indicative of a positive test for the presumed presence of the narcotic in question. Though the user should be familiar with the full color reference materials available in the manual, this panel can provide a quick reference for field-use of the test kits.
Test Swab
The test swab is provided to help isolate and collect suspect residues and
transfer the samples to the test card’s test zone for analysis. Each test swab
is prewetted with a solvent to assist in the collection of the sample.
To avoid contamination of the test swab, the user must hold the swab by the
shaft only, and must not set the swab down on any surface prior to testing.
To aid in this, SwabTek recommends leaving the swab within its compartment of
the sachet until the user is ready to start sample collection.
If the tip of the test swab is dry, it may be an indication that the test’s
sachet has been compromised. A dried swab may hinder the ability of the user
to collect an appropriate sample. In this case, it is recommended that the
tester use a new swab.
General Procedure When residue containing cannabis or a cannabis derivative is
combined with the dry reagent zone on the test card, the reagent will produce
a dark red color change. Depending on the nature of the sample, this color
change may occur on the test swab, on the test card, or on both surfaces. For
this reason, it is essential that you check both the swab and card for
indication of color change. The color development for a positive result should
be rapid and will often be permanent. Depending on how much residue is
collected, the intensity of the red color could range from weak to very
strong. If you are unsure of whether the color you are seeing is considered a
positive result, consult the color reference panel on the test card.
After a few minutes, the color on the test may fade or change, so it is
important to collect results as soon as possible.
Since SwabTek’s tests rely on a color change, there are a number of factors to
consider about the use of the test. The following can result in mistaken
readings that are based on human or procedural error, rather than an error
with the color chemistry:
- Improper/non-white lighting used in the test procedure
- Partial to full color blindness of the operator
- Highly colored/colorproducing samples used in testing (wet or dry paints, dyes, tea leaves, etc.)
- Highly viscous or thick samples used in testing (candle wax, silicone oil, engineering grease, etc.)
Cannabis Test Zone
The reagent responsible for the color change reaction in this test is printed
in the test zone on the card. The reagent in the test zone for the Cannabis
Test is indicated by a rectangle of reagent that is white/grey in color. If
the test zone on your card does not contain the rectangle of reagent, or the
reagent rectangle is not as expected, try using a different test. If the issue
persists, contact a member of the SwabTek team and be prepared to submit
pictures.
The presence of the white/grey color of the reagent, or a water-diluted hue
of this color, does not indicate a positive result during testing. The color
development indicative of a positive result will be distinct and separate from
the color present in the reagent before the test. It is recommended that users
trial a negative result using a blank swab and card in order to assess the
color effects of the reagent during testing.
The Cannabis Test produces the following results, based on third-party testing
of the tests to the standards established by the National Institute of Justice
(NIJ):
Test Target| Level of Detection| NIJ False Positive Rate|
Known False Positives
---|---|---|---
Cannabichromene| 7 μg| 0.00%| None
CBD| 12 μg
THC| 6 μg
Sample Collection
The test swab will be used to collect your sample. During collection, you should use the tip of the swab to dab, swab, or rub the surface that you are testing, depending on the nature of the sample. This process should take up to 10 seconds.
You are aiming to collect as much potential residue as possible, and concentrate it on the tip of your swab. If you are testing a visible residue like oil, plant matter, or crumbs, you should be able to see the residue picked up on the swab’s tip.
For testing vape pens, if possible, you should dab the tip of the swab into the oil well of the cartridge. If you are unable to access the cartridge, you should aim to swab the surfaces with the most potential residue, the mouthpiece and oil cartridge. For testing edibles, it is advised to swab firmly and in the same spot to ensure you can collect a sample through any external coating (paraffin wax, sugar, etc.)
Conducting the Test
Once you have collected your sample, you will combine it with the reagent
printed in the reagent zone of the SwabTek Test Card. This is done by dabbing
the tip of the swab across the card’s reagent zone. This process should take
no more than 10 seconds.
If a detectable cannabis compound was picked up in your sample, the reagent
should produce a vibrant, dark red color. This could happen immediately, or
take up to 30 seconds. Be sure to check both the reagent zone and test swab
tip for any signs of color development.
If any dark red develops within 30 seconds, the result of the test is positive
for cannabis.
If no dark red color develops within 30 seconds, the result of the test is
negative for cannabis.
Analyzing Color Results
When analogizing the results of the test, the user can refer to the color
reference panel on the test cards, as well as the corresponding color
indication table in this manual as a reference guide for the color analysis.
Following the sample testing phase, the user should immediately look for
evidence of a color change that would indicate a positive test result. The
color development may occur on either or both of the test card and test swab,
and the user should carefully inspect both for evidence of this result. An
absence of color on either the test card or test swab does not in itself
constitute a negative result, as the color change could be present on the
other
The color
change of a positive result should be very rapid and permanent, and though the
color may vary in intensity and hue due to the potential varied nature of
sample compounds, it should contain the color red. The development of this
color indicates a positive result for the presumed presence of cannabis.
The absence of any color change, or a color change that is not red is
classified as a negative result for the presumed presence of cannabis.

After the Test Following the testing procedure, it is recommended that users
take a picture of the test result for reference, both the test card and test
swab, as well as the sample itself.
Following the completion of this procedure, the test card, test swab, and
sample in question can be disposed of in the garbage if not required for
evidence. The test card and test swab do not contain any dangerous or
hazardous materials, and do not require any special disposal procedures.
If the test was used to collect a sample from a consumable good — i.e. pills,
powder, needles, etc. — said item should NOT be consumed, regardless of
outcome of the test. If the test was used to collect a sample from a reusable
product that users come into direct contact with — i.e. vape pens, pipes, etc.
— said items should be cleaned thoroughly with soap and wiped dry prior to
use.
If the user is ever unsure about the procedure or result of a test, the test
should be re-done. If the user is uncertain about an element of conducting or
analogizing the test, and cannot find answers in the reference materials, they
should contact a member of SwabTek’s team with relevant support (photographs,
descriptions, test information) if applicable.
