Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug test screening groups are termed as panels, with the most common being 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests. Each panel specifies the range of drugs screened, with customization options available.

Understanding Drug Testing

Drug tests use biological specimens—urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva—to ascertain the presence or absence of specific parent drugs or metabolites. They are widely used to detect performance-enhancement drugs in sports, by employers, parole/probation officers, and law enforcement for alcohol levels, known as BAC (Blood Alcohol Content). BAC is usually assessed through breathalyzers, while urinalysis prevails for workplace and sports testing.

Could Passive Smoke Exposure Cause a Marijuana False Positive?

Passive inhalation in areas with marijuana smoke is generally not valid due to higher lab analysis cut-off levels compared to passive exposure.

Abnormalities in urine screens might suggest a false negative or sample tampering. Examples include:

• Low creatinine levels, indicating dilution either by excessive water consumption just before testing or by adding water to the sample.
• Combining creatinine levels with specific gravity helps identify diluted samples. To prevent this, testing labs might color toilet water blue to stop sample dilution via the toilet source.
• Sample alteration attempts by adding enzymes could change pH levels, which are tested.

Drug Detection Periods

The detection window for a drug test varies based on factors like:

• Amount and frequency of drug consumption
• Drug type
• Individual's metabolic rate and general health
• Fluid intake after use
• Exercise levels since drug use
• Genetic factors affecting drug processing
