Toda Pharma: French rapid test laboratory in Strasbourg

Toda Pharma is a French laboratory based in Strasbourg specializing in rapid diagnostic tests. Its activity covers several fields, including the screening of psychoactive substances with the Drugdiag® range.

A laboratory based in Strasbourg

Founded in 2007, Toda Pharma develops and markets rapid diagnostic devices intended for various professional or individual uses depending on the references. This local presence facilitates proximity between the manufacturer, distributors, and field users.

AMA Prévention distributes Toda Pharma solutions and supports individuals, companies, healthcare professionals, communities, and organizations in choosing the device that fits their needs.

What do the CE marking and ISO 13485 standard mean?

The CE marking indicates that a device is placed on the market under the regulatory framework applicable to its category. The ISO 13485 certification concerns the quality management system applied to medical devices.

These mentions do not make all tests interchangeable. Each reference has a specific intended use, sample type, targeted substances, thresholds, reading time, and limits.

A range of rapid tests for different needs

The Toda Pharma catalog includes several families of rapid tests. In the field of drug screening, the Drugdiag® range notably offers saliva and urine devices, with variable panels depending on the references.

  • Saliva tests: detection of recent consumption according to the specified substances;
  • Urine tests: simple panels, multi-drug, or targeted on certain new substances;
  • Professional formats: devices designed to facilitate campaigns, controls, or prevention actions;
  • Other rapid diagnostics: distinct ranges meeting other health needs.

How to choose a Drugdiag® reference?

The choice should not be based solely on the number of drugs displayed. It must start from the real context: suspected substance, detection window, saliva or urine, personal or professional setting, and possible need for confirmation.

Always check:

  • the exact list of analytes and their abbreviations;
  • the detection thresholds indicated by the manufacturer;
  • the sampling conditions and reading time;
  • the duration and storage conditions;
  • the cross-reactions and limits mentioned in the instructions.
A positive rapid test provides a presumptive result. When an important medical, judicial, or professional decision depends on it, toxicological confirmation and an appropriate procedure may be necessary.

The mention "Used by the French Armed Forces"

Some references may bear the mention "Used by the French Armed Forces." This information must be verified product by product and should not be automatically extended to the entire catalog.

Support beyond the product

AMA Prévention helps compare panels, prepare screening campaigns, train teams in device use, and clarify interpretation limits.

To remember: the quality of a device does not replace choosing the right panel, following the instructions, and interpreting results appropriately in context.
