Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Panels indicate the number of drugs screened in a test, with common options being 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel assays. Customized panels are also offered for specific needs.

Understanding Drug Testing

Drug testing involves analyzing a biological specimen (such as urine, hair, or blood) to detect the presence of particular drugs or their metabolites. It's widely used to screen for performance-enhancing drugs in sports, unlawful substances for employment, parole, or probation, and alcohol (ethanol) levels for law enforcement. Many tests, especially BAC tests, are conducted using breathalyzers, although urinalysis is predominant in sports and work environments. Numerous methods exist, varying in accuracy and detection duration, and tests may also assess quantitative drug levels.

Does Passive Smoke Inhalation Affect Marijuana Test Results?

Passive smoke inhalation, such as being in an environment where marijuana is smoked, typically does not result in a false positive because laboratory thresholds are set significantly higher than what would occur with passive exposure.

Some factors like urine abnormalities might suggest a false negative or deliberate sample manipulation. These include:

• Low creatinine levels indicating dilution from excessive water consumption or water added to the sample.
• Creatinine and specific gravity comparison helps check for dilution. Labs often color toilet water blue to prevent adding it to samples.
• Attempts to alter pH with enzymes also raise flags, as pH levels are evaluated during routine tests.

Duration Drugs Remain Detectable

The detection window of a drug test depends on several elements, such as:

• The quantity and frequency of drug use
• The type of substance used
• Individual metabolic rates and health
• Fluid intake post-drug use
• Physical activity levels post-drug use
• Genetic factors influencing drug metabolism
