Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug tests are categorized into panels, which determine the number of drugs screened. Common options include 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, though custom screenings are also available.

What is a Drug Test?

A drug test involves the technical analysis of a biological specimen—such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or oral fluid/saliva—to detect specified parent drugs or their metabolites. Key uses include detecting performance-enhancing substances in sports, screening prohibited drugs for employers and parole officers, and measuring blood alcohol content (BAC) with breathalyzers in law enforcement. Advanced methods vary in accuracy, sensitivity, and detection period.

Can Passive Smoke Inhalation Lead to a False Positive for Marijuana?

Laboratory cut-off levels are sufficiently high to rule out positive results from passive smoke inhalation.

Irregularities in urine screens may indicate false negatives or sample tampering. Examples include:

• Low creatinine levels, possibly from diluted samples due to excessive water consumption or sample dilution.
• Combining creatinine levels with specific gravity tests to check for diluted samples. Labs may use blue dye in toilet water to prevent toilet water use.
• Certain enzymes added to a sample may alter pH, identifying tampering attempts during testing.

How Long Do Drugs Remain Detectable in Your System?

The detection window of a drug test can vary based on numerous factors, including:

• The drug dosage—amount consumed
• The frequency of use
• The type of drug
• A person's metabolic rate and overall health
• Fluid intake after drug use
• Exercise levels after drug use
• Genetic variations affecting drug response
