Selecting Your Drug Testing Panel

Drug testing groups, or panels, are designated by how many substances they screen. Common panels are 5, 10, or 12-panel tests, though customized options are available.

Understanding Drug Testing

A drug test involves the technical evaluation of biological samples, such as urine, hair, blood, or saliva, to identify the presence of specific drugs or their byproducts. Key uses include steroid detection in sports, illegal drug monitoring by employers and probation officers, and alcohol concentration assessment by police using breathalyzers. While urinalysis is the predominant method for workplace drug testing, other methods differ in accuracy, sensitivity, and detection span.

Impact of Passive Smoke Inhalation on Marijuana Test Results

"Passive" smoke inhalation from marijuana is not credible due to lab thresholds set well above levels resultant from passive exposure.

Other potential urine screen abnormalities could suggest false negatives or sample tampering. Examples include:

• Low creatinine might indicate a tampered sample, achieved by excessive water intake by the subject or adding water to the sample.
• Creatinine levels often pair with specific gravity tests to confirm sample dilution. Laboratories might color toilet water blue to deter adding it to samples.
• Using enzymes to stabilize urine might alter pH levels, something routinely tested.

Drug Lifespan in the Body

Different factors impact a drug's detection window. Factors determining drug retention include:

• Drug quantity consumed
• Frequency of drug intake
• Drug type
• Metabolic rate and health status
• Fluid intake post-consumption
• Physical activity post-consumption
• Genetic variables affecting drug response
