Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Panels specify the number of substances screened. Common panels are 5, 10, and 12, with custom screenings available.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test analyzes a sample, like urine, hair, or saliva, for specific drugs or their metabolites. Usage includes detecting performance enhancers, employer screening, probation checks, and alcohol content tests (BAC) via breathalyzer. Urinalysis dominates sports and workplace testing, but alternatives exist offering varied accuracy and detection periods.

Does Passive Smoke Inhalation Cause a False Positive for Marijuana?

"Passive" smoke inhalation, being in a smoky room, isn't valid for positives. Lab thresholds surpass possible passive exposure levels.

Urine inconsistencies may indicate false negatives or deliberate tampering. For example:

  • Low creatinine values may show a tampered sample via excessive water intake or added water.
  • Creatinine and specific gravity help determine dilution attempts. Labs color toilet water to deter dilution with toilet water.
  • Attempts to alter the sample with enzymes can affect pH, also tested.

Drug Retention in the System

Detection or look-back windows vary based on several factors:

  • Quantity of drug ingestion
  • Frequency of drug use
  • Type of drug
  • Individual metabolism and overall health
  • Fluid intake post-ingestion
  • Physical activity post-ingestion
  • Genetic factors affecting drug response
