Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel

'Drug testing panel' refers to the groups of drugs tested, commonly 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests are used (indicating the number of drugs screened). Custom screenings are also available.

Understanding Drug Tests

Drug tests analyze biological samples like urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva to detect the presence of specific drugs or metabolites. Used widely in sports, employment, probation, or DUI screening, tests like BAC measure alcohol content in blood via breathalyzer. Various tests exist with different accuracy, sensitivity, and detection periods. Drugs tests may also quantitatively analyze illegal substances, aiding responsible usage.

Does Passive Smoke Inhalation Affect Marijuana Test Results?

Exposure to second-hand marijuana smoke ("passive" inhalation) generally does not lead to positive test results, as lab cut-off levels are considerably higher than passive exposure could cause.

Irregularities in urine samples may indicate false negatives or deliberate tampering. For instance:

• Low creatinine levels in a test might suggest dilution, either through excessive water consumption before the test or adding water to the sample.
• Creatinine and specific gravity are used together to confirm sample dilution. Labs may dye toilet water blue to prevent dilution from this source.
• Attempts to alter sample stability by adding enzymes often change pH levels, which are also verified in testing.

Drug Detection Duration in the Body

The detection window of drugs varies based on multiple factors. Factors influencing drug retention include:

• Drug quantity consumed
• Drug use frequency
• Type of drug
• Individual's metabolic rate and health
• Fluids consumed post-ingestion
• Exercise engaged in post-ingestion
• Genetic variants affecting personal drug response
