Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug screening panels indicate the number of drugs screened. Common choices include 5, 10, and 12-panel tests, yet customized screenings can be arranged.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test involves the technical analysis of a biological sample—like urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or oral fluid—to identify specified drugs or metabolites. Drug testing is implemented in various fields, such as sports for performance-enhancing substances, legal settings for compliance, and police investigations for blood alcohol content (BAC), typically measured via a breathalyzer. While various methods exist, urinalysis dominates in sports and workplaces due to accuracy and reliability.

Does Passive Marijuana Smoke Inhalation Cause False Positives?

Exposure to marijuana smoke in a public setting does not typically cause a false positive. Lab cut-off levels are set substantially higher than what would result from passive inhalation.

Issues like abnormalities in a urine test could suggest a potential false negative or deliberate tampering:

• Low creatinine levels may indicate sample dilution, either through overconsumption of water or adding water to the sample.
• Combining creatinine measurement with specific gravity helps detect dilution. To prevent tampering, toilets at testing facilities may be altered to discourage water usage.
• Enzyme addition attempts to alter the stability of the sample frequently alter the pH, which is also measured during testing.

Drug Detection Periods

The detection timeframe varies based on multiple factors, such as:

• Quantity Consumed
• Frequency of Use
• Type of Substance
• Metabolic Rate and Overall Health
• Fluid Intake
• Exercise Levels
• Genetic Differences Influencing Drug Response
