Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel

Known as a drug testing panel, these screening groups range in common types such as 5, 10, and 12-panel tests, based on the drugs they screen; custom options are also available.

Defining a Drug Test

A drug test analyzes a biological specimen, like urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva, for drug components or metabolites. Key uses include monitoring steroid use in sports, compliance checks for employers and legal officers, and alcohol levels as common by police (BAC tests). Urinalysis dominates in sports and work settings, while other precise methods vary in accuracy, sensitivity, and detection breadth. Drug tests might also convey quantitive chemical data of illegal substances for responsible use evaluation.

Impact of Passive Smoke on False Positives for Marijuana

"Passive" inhalation of marijuana smoke isn’t considered valid for positive results due to high cut-off limits set to preempt passive exposure.

Urine tests might return false negatives or indicate sample meddling through peculiarities like:

  • Low creatinine levels suggest tampering, either by excessive fluid intake or sample water addition before testing.
  • Creatinine, together with specific gravity measures, help verify sample dilution. To prevent sample contamination with toilet water, labs tint the toilet water blue.
  • Enzyme additions to stabilize urine frequently alter pH, a parameter also tested.

Drug Persistence in Your System

Detection windows vary, impacted by factors such as:

  • Quantity of drug ingested
  • Frequency of use
  • Specific drug type
  • Individual metabolic and health status
  • Fluid intake post-ingestion
  • Physical activity post-ingestion
  • Genetic variations affecting drug response

Local Area Info: Grand Prairie, Texas

Grand Prairie is a city in Dallas County, Tarrant County, and Ellis County, Texas, in the United States. It is part of the Mid-Cities region in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. It has a population of 175,396 according to the 2010 census, making it the fifteenth most populous city in the state.

The city of Grand Prairie was first established as Dechman by Alexander McRae Dechman in 1863. Prior to then, he resided in Young County near Fort Belknap. The 1860 U.S. Federal Census - Slave Schedules shows an A McR Dechman as having 4 slaves, ages 50, 25, 37 and 10. Dechman, learned that he could trade his oxen and wagons for land in Dallas County. In 1863, Dechman bought 239.5 acres (96.9 ha) of land on the eastern side of the Trinity River and 100 acres (40 ha) of timber land on the west side of the river for a broken-down wagon, oxen team and US$200 in Confederate money. He tried to establish a home on the property, but ran into difficulties, so he returned to his family in Birdville before joining in the Civil War. In 1867 he filed a town plat consisting of 50 acres (20 ha) with Dallas County.

After the war, he returned to Birdville for two years before selling that farm in 1867 and moving to Houston, where yellow fever broke out, causing the family to settle in Bryan. In 1876, Dechman traded half his "prairie" property to the T&P Railroad to ensure the railroad came through the town. The railroad named the depot "Dechman", prompting its namesake to relocate his home from Bryan to Dechman. His son Alexander had been living in Dechman and operating a trading post and farm. The first church in the area was the Good Hope Cumberland Sabbath School, established in 1870 by Rev. Andrew Hayter. The church was later renamed West Fork United Presbyterian Church and remains an active church.
