Selecting the Appropriate Drug Testing Panel

Panels specify the number of drugs screened in a test, commonly available as 5, 10, or 12-panel drug tests. Customized screenings are also offered.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test involves the analysis of a biological specimen—like urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva—to determine the presence of specified parent drugs or their metabolites. Drug tests serve various purposes, including detecting performance-enhancing steroids in sports, ensuring compliance for employers and parole/probation officers, checking blood alcohol content (BAC) for police purposes, among others. BAC tests generally involve breathalyzers, while urinalysis remains widespread in sports and workplace testing. Various methods exist, each with innate accuracy, sensitivity, and detection timeframes. Quantitative chemical analysis of illicit drugs is also possible through drug testing.

Can Passive Smoke Inhalation Result in a False Positive for Marijuana?

"Passive" inhalation from marijuana in an enclosed space typically doesn't cause a positive result, as labs set thresholds beyond what's achieved through passive exposure.

Abnormal urine results could suggest false negatives or deliberate sample adulteration. For example:

• A low creatinine level can indicate tampering, either through excessive water intake before testing or by adding water to the sample.
• Creatinine levels and specific gravity often help identify sample dilution. To prevent sample dilution with toilet water, testing facilities might color toilet water blue.
• Some may attempt to alter urine stability with enzymes, although this often impacts pH changes, which are also monitored.

Duration of Drug Presence in the Body

The detection window of a drug test is influenced by several factors, including:

• Amount of the drug consumed
• Frequency of consumption
• Type of drug
• An individual's metabolic rate and overall health
• Fluid intake following drug consumption
• Level of physical activity post-consumption
• Genetic variations affecting drug metabolism
