Selecting the Right Drug Test Panel

Panels indicate the quantity of drugs examined. Popular choices include the 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, with the option for custom panels.

Understanding Drug Tests

Drug testing involves analyzing biological samples, like urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva, to identify specific drugs or their metabolites. Applications involve detecting performance-enhancing drugs in sports, law enforcement, and more. Different methods vary in accuracy and detection times. A drug test also refers to a quantitative analysis of illegal substances.

Can Secondhand Smoke Lead to a Positive Marijuana Test?

Passive exposure, like being in a space with marijuana smokers, generally won't cause a positive test, as lab cut-off levels are higher than what passive inhalation might cause.

Abnormalities in a urine sample may indicate false negatives or sample tampering:

• Low creatinine levels can signal dilution, either from consuming excessive water or adding water to the sample.
• Combining creatinine levels with specific gravity helps detect dilution attempts. Labs might color toilet water blue to prevent dilution with that water.
• Altering a sample, such as adding enzymes, might change the pH level, aiding in the detection of tampering.

Drug Detection Periods

Detection windows, or look-back periods, depend on various factors, like:

• Drug quantity taken
• Frequency of use
• Type of drug
• Individual's metabolism and health
• Fluid and exercise levels post-consumption
• Genetic factors affecting drug response
