What is the Most Common Urine/Hair Drug Test?

Drug testing panels, defined by how many drugs they screen for, are commonly grouped into 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests. We also offer customized panels based on specific needs.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test involves the analysis of biological samples—like urine, hair, blood, or saliva—to detect the presence of drugs or their metabolites. Drug tests are commonly used to detect steroids in sports, monitor unlawful drug use for employers or parole officers, and measure blood alcohol content using devices like breathalyzers. Although urine analysis is prevalent in sports and work environments, other methods with various degrees of precision and sensitivity are available. Quantitative analysis tests also exist to aid responsible drug use.

Do False Positives for Marijuana Occur from Passive Smoke?

"Passive" inhalation from nearby smoking is not considered valid in drug tests as lab cut-off values are set above levels achievable through passive exposure.

Other irregularities may lead to false negatives or indicate sample tampering. For example:

• A low creatinine result might suggest sample dilution, either through excessive fluid intake or added water.
• Creatinine levels, combined with specific gravity, assist in detecting dilution, and laboratories may blue-color their toilet water to prevent sample tampering.
• The use of enzymes to affect urine stability often alters pH, which is tested.

Drug Presence Duration in the System

Detection periods for drugs vary depending on numerous factors, including:

• Dosage consumed
• Frequency of use
• Drug type
• Individual metabolic rate and overall health
• Fluid intake since drug use
• Exercise frequency after ingestion
• Genetic factors affecting drug response
