Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel for Your Needs

Drug testing panels specify the number of substances for screening, with the most common being the 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests. Customized screening options are also available.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test analyzes a biological specimen such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or oral fluid/saliva to detect specific drugs or their metabolites. Drug testing is commonly used to identify steroid use in sports, monitor drug prohibition compliance by employers and parole officers, and assess blood alcohol content (BAC) for law enforcement purposes. BAC tests often involve breathalyzers, while urinalysis is preferred for most workplace and sports-related testing. There are various methods with differing accuracy, sensitivity, and detection periods. Drug tests also include quantitative analysis of illegal drugs, aiding responsible use.

Does Passive Marijuana Smoke Inhalation Cause a False Positive?

Being in a room with others smoking marijuana is not sufficient to cause a positive test, as laboratory settings establish cut-off concentrations beyond passive inhalation levels.

Occasionally, urine screen irregularities may indicate false negatives or deliberate sample manipulation. For instance:

  • Low creatinine levels may suggest tampering, possibly through intentional dilution by excessive water intake before testing or sample dilution with added water.
  • By evaluating creatinine with specific gravity, dilution attempts can be detected. To prevent tampering, labs may color toilet water blue to discourage sample water dilution.
  • Some individuals might add enzymes to alter urine stability, yet this frequently changes pH, also monitored in tests.

Drug Retention in the Body

The detection window, or look-back period, of a drug test relies on various factors determining the presence duration of a drug in an individual's system, including:

  • Drug dosage
  • Usage frequency
  • Drug type
  • Personal metabolic rate and health status
  • Fluid intake post-ingestion
  • Exercise level since ingestion
  • Other genetic factors affecting response

Lynchburg is an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. As of the 2010 census, the population was 75,568. The 2017 census estimates an increase to 81,000. Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains along the banks of the James River, Lynchburg is known as the "City of Seven Hills" or the "Hill City". In the 1860s, Lynchburg was the only major city in Virginia that was not recaptured by the Union before the end of the American Civil War.

Lynchburg lies at the center of a wider metropolitan area close to the geographic center of Virginia. It is the fifth-largest MSA in Virginia, with a population of 260,320. It is the site of several institutions of higher education, including the University of Lynchburg, Randolph College, and Liberty University.
