Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

"Panel" refers to the substances screened during testing. Common options include 5, 10, and 12-panel tests, with custom screenings available as needed.

Understanding Drug Tests

Drug testing involves analyzing biological samples like urine, hair, or saliva to identify parent drugs or metabolites. Applications include checking for steroids in sports or drugs in legal and employment contexts. Techniques vary in accuracy and detection periods. Blood alcohol content (BAC) tests are typically done with a breathalyzer, while urinalysis is common in sports and workplaces.

Passive Smoke Inhalation and Marijuana Detection

Passive exposure to marijuana smoke isn't significant enough to affect drug test results, given the set lab cut-off values.

Other abnormalities in test samples can suggest tampering. For instance:

• Low creatinine could imply sample dilution, either from excessive water intake or adulteration.
• Creatinine levels and specific gravity help identify dilution attempts. Some labs color the water in toilets to detect sample tampering.
• Introducing enzymes to a sample can alter the pH, also tested to indicate potential tampering.

Duration of Drug Presence in the System

Factors influencing detection windows include:

• Quantity of the drug used
• Frequency of usage
• Drug type
• Individual's metabolic rate and health
• Fluid intake post-ingestion
• Exercise after drug use
• Genetic factors affecting drug response
