Selecting the Appropriate Screening Panel

The number of substances screened in a drug test panel varies, with common panels including 5, 10, or 12 options. Custom tests are also available based on specific needs.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test assesses a biological sample, such as urine, hair, blood, or saliva, for the presence or absence of drugs or metabolites. Primarily, it detects sports performance enhancers, substances prohibited by employers, and measures alcohol content in blood via breath analysis. Though urinalysis is predominant in workplace testing, various methods with different accuracy and detection capacities are used. Some tests also quantitatively assess illegal substances for responsible usage guidance.

Clarifying Passive Smoke and Result Validity

Exposure to secondhand marijuana smoke resulting in a false positive is generally unlikely, as labs set cut-off levels above those possible through passive inhalation.

Unusual urine test outcomes may suggest false negatives or intentional tampering, such as:

• Low creatinine indicating possible dilution through excessive water intake or sample contamination.
• Creatinine levels paired with specific gravity checks are used to detect dilution. Some labs use blue dye in toilets to prevent water addition.
• Using enzymes to alter urine stability changes pH, which is monitored during testing.

Drug Detection Duration

The detection or look-back period of drugs in one's system varies based on multiple elements like:

• Quantity administered
• Usage frequency
• Type of drug
• Metabolic rate and general health
• Fluid intake post-consumption
• Exercise levels post-consumption
• Genetic differences impacting drug processing
