Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

The panel indicates the number of drugs screened during a test, with common options including 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests. Customized screenings are also an option.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test involves analyzing a biological sample, such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or oral fluid/saliva, to identify parent drugs or metabolites. The test is utilized for such purposes as detecting performance-enhancing drugs in sports, screening prohibited drugs for employers and parole officers, and assessing blood alcohol content (BAC) by law enforcement through breathalyzers or urinalysis.

Will Passive Smoke Inhalation Test Positive for Marijuana?

Exposure to passive smoke in a room with marijuana smokers is unlikely to cause a positive result as laboratory cut-off levels are higher than those affected by passive exposure.

In rare cases, abnormal urine screen results may suggest a false negative or sample tampering. These are instances to consider:

• Low creatinine levels could imply sample dilution, possibly from the subject over-consuming water before the test or adding water to the sample.
• Creatinine and specific gravity measurements help determine sample dilution. Testing facilities may add blue dye to toilet water to prevent tampering.
• Attempting to alter sample stability with enzymes may change pH levels, which are also tested.

Duration of Drugs in Your System

The detection window of a drug test varies based on numerous factors, including dosage, frequency of use, type of drug, metabolic rate, overall health, fluid intake, exertion levels, and genetic factors affecting the body's reaction to a drug.
