Selecting the Appropriate Drug Testing Panel

Testing groups, commonly referred to as panels, vary by the number of drugs screened: 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests are common. Custom screenings are available as needed.

Defining a Drug Test

A drug test involves examining a biological specimen — such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva — to identify the presence or absence of specific drugs and their metabolites. Applications include detecting performance-enhancing drugs in sports, testing for illegal substances by employers, and monitoring parole or probation compliance. Blood alcohol content (BAC) testing is prevalent for measuring alcohol levels and is usually performed using a breathalyzer. Urinalysis predominates in workplace and sports settings. Numerous testing methods differ regarding accuracy, sensitivity, and detection windows. Drug tests can also analyze illegal drugs for responsible use education.

Can Passive Smoke Inhalation Lead to a Marijuana Test False Positive?

Exposure to marijuana smoke in an enclosed space isn't typically accepted as causing a false positive. Laboratory cut-off levels are set to exclude passive inhalation cases.

Abnormalities in urine samples can suggest tampering or inadvertent sample contamination. Potential issues include:

• Low creatinine levels, implying urine tampering or excessive water intake before testing.
• Creatinine and specific gravity checks help determine sample dilution. Testing labs may dye toilet water blue to prevent tampering with urine samples.
• Adding enzymes to alter sample stability can influence pH levels, which are analyzed during testing.

Drug Detection Duration in the System

The detection period for drugs varies based on factors such as:

• The dosage;
• The frequency of use;
• The specific drug;
• Individual metabolic rate and health;
• Fluid intake post-consumption;
• Physical activity levels post-consumption;
• Genetic variations affecting drug response.
