Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel

Panels represent grouped drug screenings, with common options including 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel drug tests, indicating the number of substances screened. Custom screenings are also an option.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test involves analyzing a biological specimen, such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva, to confirm the presence or absence of particular drugs or their byproducts. Drug testing is crucial for detecting performance-enhancing drugs in sports, ensuring compliance for employers and parole officers, and enforcing the law. BAC tests, used to measure alcohol levels, typically use breathalyzers, while urinalysis covers most sports and workplace tests. Other methods vary in accuracy and detection duration. Drug tests can also involve chemical analysis of illegal substances to guide responsible drug use.

Effect of Passive Marijuana Smoke on Testing Results

"Passive" exposure to marijuana smoke is not usually enough to trigger a false positive, as testing cut-offs are considerably higher than levels produced by passive inhalation.

Abnormalities in urine tests might indicate false negatives or sample tampering. For instance:

• Low creatinine levels may suggest sample tampering, either due to excessive water intake before testing or adulteration with water.
• Creatinine levels, along with specific gravity, assess the possibility of dilution. To prevent this, some labs color toilet water blue to deter sample dilution from toilet water.
• Adding enzymes to alter sample stability might affect pH, a parameter that is also tested.

Drug Retention in the Body

The detection window of a drug test is influenced by various factors, including:

• Quantity of drug ingested
• Frequency of drug use
• Drug type
• Individual's metabolic rate and general health
• Fluid intake following drug use
• Physical activity post-drug use
• Genetic differences in drug metabolism
