Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug screening groups or panels determine the number of drugs tested. Common choices include 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, and customized options are available.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test is a technical examination of a biological sample—such as urine, hair, or blood—to ascertain the presence of specific drugs or their byproducts. Drug testing is widely used in sports, employment, law enforcement, and other fields. Common methods include breathalyzers for alcohol or urinalysis for workplace testing. Numerous other testing methods, each with varying precision and detection periods, are used.

Impact of Passive Smoke Inhalation on Marijuana Tests

"Passive" exposure to marijuana smoke is unlikely to cause a false positive due to testing threshold levels considerably above those expected from passive inhalation.

Irregularities in urine samples may suggest false negatives or tampering. For instance:

  • Low creatinine may imply sample tampering through overhydration or dilution.
  • Creatinine and specific gravity combined can highlight dilutions. Labs may tint toilet water as a preventive measure.
  • Adding enzymes may alter sample stability, affecting pH levels, which are monitored.

Duration of Drug Presence in the System

The detection window of a drug test, or look-back period, is influenced by several factors:

  • Quantity of drug taken
  • Frequency of drug use
  • Type of drug
  • Individual metabolic rate and general health
  • Fluid intake since drug consumption
  • Exercise after drug intake
  • Genetic factors affecting drug response
