Selecting the Appropriate Drug Testing Panel

What is a Drug Test?

A drug test is a scientific assessment of a biological sample—such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva—to identify the presence or absence of specified drugs or their metabolites. Drug testing plays a crucial role in detecting performance-enhancing steroids in sports, ensuring workplace safety, and complying with legal standards for parole and probation. Breathalyzer tests for blood alcohol content (BAC) are commonly used by law enforcement, while urinalysis predominates in workplace and sports settings. Different methods, with varying accuracy, sensitivity, and detection timelines, exist. A drug test may also involve the chemical analysis of illegal drugs, often aiding in responsible legal compliance.

Can Passive Marijuana Smoke Inhalation Cause a Positive Test?

"Passive" marijuana smoke inhalation is not considered a valid cause for a positive drug test, as cutoff concentrations for lab analysis are set sufficiently high to rule out passive exposure.

Other abnormalities in urine tests may point to a false negative or deliberate sample tampering. For instance:

• A low creatinine level might suggest urine tampering, such as excessive water intake before testing or added water to the sample.
• Creatinine levels, along with specific gravity, indicate if samples were diluted. Testing labs may use blue water to prevent contamination with toilet water.
• Attempting to alter urine sample stability with enzymes often changes the pH, which is also assessed.

Drug Metabolism and Detection Duration

Several factors influence how long drugs remain detectable in the system. These include:

• The quantity of drug consumed
• The consumption frequency
• The type of drug used
• Individual metabolic rates and health conditions
• Fluid intake since the drug was ingested
• Physical activity following drug consumption
• Genetic differences affecting individual drug responses
