Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug test panels specify how many drugs are screened and come in 5, 10, or 12-panel options, with customizable screenings available.

Understanding Drug Testing

Drug testing involves the technical analysis of specimens—like urine, hair, blood, or oral fluids—to detect drugs or metabolites. Drug testing regularly serves to check for illegal substances in sports, workplaces, and legal settings. Blood alcohol content (BAC) tests, such as breathalyzers, are another common form. Testing accuracy, sensitivity, and detection periods vary, with some tests quantitatively analyzing illegal drugs to aid responsible use.

Can Passive Smoke Inhalation Cause a False Positive for Marijuana?

Passive smoke inhalation is not sufficient for positive marijuana test results as lab analysis cutoff levels are higher than what passive inhalation would yield.

Irregularities in urine tests can indicate false negatives or sample tampering. For example:

• Low creatinine levels may suggest the urine was diluted intentionally by drinking fluids or by adding water to the sample.
• Specific gravity tests alongside creatinine levels can confirm dilution attempts, prevented by using colored toilet water.
• Adding substances to sample urine may change the pH, which is also screened during testing.

Drug Detection Periods

The detection window, or look-back period, depends on multiple factors, including:

• Quantity of drug consumed
• Frequency of drug use
• Type of drug used
• An individual's metabolic rate and overall health
• Fluids taken post-drug consumption
• Amount of physical activity after drug use
• Genetic variations affecting drug metabolism
