Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel for You

Drug screening groups or panels typically define the number of drugs checked in a test. Common panels include 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, with bespoke screenings also available.

Defining a Drug Test

A drug test examines a biological sample—such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva—to identify specific drugs or their metabolites. These tests serve various purposes, including detecting performance enhancers in sports or drugs banned by law for employers and probation officers. Alcohol levels, determined using a breathalyzer, are another common test. Other methods exist, varying in accuracy, sensitivity, and detection windows.

Can Passive Smoke Inhalation Yield a False Positive for Marijuana?

Passive inhalation of marijuana smoke is unlikely to result in a false positive due to lab cut-off values being too high for such cases.

Urine screen anomalies suggesting potential false negatives or tampering include:

• Low creatinine levels, indicating sample dilution from excessive water intake or added water.
• The use of creatinine levels and specific gravity to detect dilution.
• Blue toilet water to hinder sample dilution.
• Stability-altering enzymes changing sample pH, also checked during testing.

Factors Affecting Drug Detection in the System

Various factors influence a drug's detection window, including:

• Dose and frequency of drug intake
• Type of drug consumed
• Individual metabolism and general health
• Fluid and exercise levels post-ingestion
• Genetic differences affecting drug response
