Determining the Right Drug Testing Panel for You

Drug testing panel options typically include the 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, identifying the number of drugs being screened. Custom screening solutions can also be arranged.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test analyzes a biological specimen—such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva—to detect the presence of specific drug compounds or metabolites. Drug tests are often used in sports to detect performance enhancers, by employers for legal compliance, and by law enforcement for blood alcohol content (BAC), often determined by breathalyzers. Although urinalysis is commonplace for workplace testing, alternative methods also exist, offering various levels of sensitivity and detection windows.

Passive Smoke Inhalation and False Positives

Passive inhalation of marijuana smoke in a room with smokers doesn't lead to a false positive since laboratory thresholds for detection are far above levels potentially encountered through passive exposure.

Urine screen abnormalities may suggest false negatives or sample tampering. For example:

• Low creatinine often implies possible tampering, such as sample dilution by excess water intake before testing or direct addition of water to the sample.
• Creatinine levels, together with specific gravity, help verify if samples have been diluted. Labs may dye toilet water to prevent tampering by dilution.
• Attempts to stabilize samples with enzymes may alter pH levels, which are also checked during testing.

Duration of Drug Presence in Your System

The detection period—or the look-back window—of a drug test is influenced by numerous factors, including:

• Quantity of drug consumed
• Frequency of use
• Type of drug
• Individual metabolic rate and health
• Fluid intake since consumption
• Physical activity after consumption
• Genetic factors affecting drug response
