using D-TEKTš Kits, including to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the
individual(s) being tested and others around them.
Q6: I contact my doctor, Dr. Smith, for everything, including drug and
alcohol testing. Why would I not contact my doctor for personal or
familial drug and alcohol testing needs?
A6: Many times, medical doctors or
family physicians are consulted first for personal or familial drug and alcohol
testing needs without considering several important factors, including the
purpose of testing, frequency of testing, cost of testing, and various
alternatives for testing. An individual seeking drug and/or alcohol
testing or treatment should first answer several questions: (1) What is the
purpose of the drug and/or alcohol testing? (2) How frequently will drug and/or
alcohol testing be required? (3) How much will the drug and/or alcohol
testing cost me and my family? (4) What other alternatives are available for
drug and/or alcohol testing besides visiting a medical doctor or family
physician that will yield similar outcomes?
Individual circumstances differ, thus answers to questions (1), (2), (3), and
(4) differ, and testing needs differ. Many times, individuals DO NOT need
to consult or visit a medical doctor or family physician for drug and/or
alcohol testing needs. In fact, other, comparable, more cost effective
alternatives for drug and/or alcohol testing are available, including (a) self
drug testing with DTEKTš Kits in the privacy of the home or office and (b)
visiting a toxicologist, a specialist in drug and alcohol testing and the
effects of drugs and alcohol on the human system.**
Q7:
How do the costs of drug and/or alcohol testing at a medical doctor or family
physician office compare to the costs of drug and/or alcohol testing through
D-TEKT USA * 1985?
A7: Consider the following information
provided by a small family physician practice in Fremont, Nebraska on May 1,
2008. Visiting a medical doctor or family physician will cost at least
$94.00 per office visit, urine chemical or complete testing will cost between
$12.00 and $15.00, clinical laboratory urine testing for drugs and/or alcohol
will cost an additional $180.00, and reporting each positive drug will cost
$30.00. The total cost for drug or alcohol testing at a medical doctor or
family physician office will cost between $316.00 and $319.00, assuming only
one positive drug is reported. The medical doctor or family physician
possesses "little knowledge on drug and/or alcohol testing results,"
including interaction effects between illegal drugs and/or prescription drugs,
and the effects of drugs and alcohol on the human system.
Purchasing a D-TEKTš Kit will cost between $7.50 and $15.00, depending on the
D-TEKTš Kit purchased, plus $3.00 for shipping and handling. The total
cost for drug or alcohol testing through D-TEKT USA * 1985 will cost between
$10.50 and $18.00. Results are completely confidential, and reporting
each positive drug will cost nothing.** In addition, with the D-TEKTš
Kit, you have the option and convenience of speaking telephonically or via
email correspondence with a board certified forensic toxicologist about
collecting, administering, and interpreting the drug and/or alcohol test for no
additional cost.** The D-TEKTš Kit is an exceptional value
purchase.
Q8: Why does D-TEKT USA * 1985 have a limited product line unlike other
internet retailers selling drug, alcohol, and other medical testing devices?
A8: D-TEKT USA * 1985 carries a limited
product line of eight (8) drug and alcohol testing products to create value for
our customers. Our experience shows that when providing our customers
with a limited but focused and quality product line, the end results for our
customers are low pricing, better service, and faster delivery.
Q9: Why do D-TEKT Kits cost more than similar products available through
internet retailers selling drug, alcohol, and other medical testing devices?
A9: D-TEKTš Kits are different from other
drug, alcohol, and other medical testing devices available through internet
retailers. D-TEKTš Kits are the original home and office drug testing
kits since 1985, and include all required materials for testing: (a) testing
cup, (b) label, (c) requisition form, (d) pipette, and (e) testing
strip.** In addition, customers receive five (5) minutes of
consultation from a board certified toxicologist to assist the customer in
collecting, administering, and interpreting the drug and/or alcohol test for no
additional cost.** In other words, "you get more for what you pay
for" with the additional bonus of professional consultation free of
charge.
Most internet retailers focus on a low cost, high volume strategy for selling
drug, alcohol, and other medical testing devices. Most internet retailers
have an incentive to sell as much product as possible as cheaply as possible as
quickly as possible without paying attention to product quality and the
customer experience. The result for customers is an inferior product that
is defective, fails to perform adequately, and receives no customer support.
D-TEKT USA * 1985 focuses on a higher quality, low volume selling strategy for
D-TEKTš Kits. D-TEKT USA * 1985 has an incentive to sell a superior
product at a reasonable price, while emphasizing product quality and the
customer experience. While always attempting to cut costs for our
customers when possible, our primary and overriding objective is to provide
exceptional drug and alcohol testing products that are superior than
competitors. Our experience shows that when providing our customers with
a limited but focused and quality product line, the end results for our
customers are low pricing, better service, and faster delivery. Our
business philosophy has satisfied thousands of customers.
Q10: How can I order and pay for D-TEKT Kits?
A10: D-TEKTš Kits may be ordered
through our online e-shopping cart "Order Online" or via telephone by
calling (402) 935-0401, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, CST.

payment if residing within the State of Nebraska.
Q11: After I place my order, when will I receive my D-TEKT Kits?
A11: Most orders ship from our
warehouse within two (2) hours. Generally, normal shipping through the
United States Postal Service requires between two (2) and three (3) business
days. You should receive your D-TEKTš Kits within three (3) business
days. Also, overnight shipping is available through carrier Federal
Express.
Q12: Can D-TEKT testing results be used in court proceedings for child
custody, divorce, or other civil or criminal matters?
A12: No. To ensure drug and/or alcohol
test results are legally binding the individual requires a proper, authorized
professional to ensure the specimen collection is witnessed, validated, and
reported correctly. To avoid the high costs associated with drug and/or
alcohol testing through a medical doctor or family physician, you should
schedule a drug and/or alcohol test with your neighborhood toxicologist, who
can witness, validate, and report drug and/or alcohol test results for your
specific legal needs.
Q13: What other alternatives do I have for testing myself, friends, or loved
ones?
A13: Use a D-TEKTš Kit first. The
test is very accurate, if administered correctly, and an inexpensive
alternative to testing with a toxicologist. Use a toxicologist
second. A toxicologist possesses significant knowledge and expertise on
drug and/or alcohol testing results, including interaction effects between
illegal drugs and/or prescription drugs, and the effects of drugs and alcohol
on the human system. In addition, toxicologists are more affordable than
medical doctors or family physicians.
Q14: Can you recommend a good toxicologist?
A14: Yes. Dr. John Vasiliades, PhD, is a toxicologist
possessing over thirty eight (38) years of practical toxicology experience. Dr. Vasiliades has testified or provided expert consultation
and litigation support in many cases both nationally and internationally.
Contact Dr. Vasiliades via telephone, (402) 935-0401,
