Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug test panels commonly assess a range of substances, with standard options including 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests. Customized screenings are also possible.

Understanding Drug Testing

A drug test analyzes biological samples such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva to detect specific drugs or their metabolites. These tests serve various purposes, such as detecting performance-enhancing drugs in sports or identifying illegal substances for employers, courts, and law enforcement.

Typically, BAC (blood alcohol content) is measured using breathalyzers, while urinalysis is prevalent in sports and workplaces. Numerous methods exist, with varying degrees of accuracy, sensitivity, and detection periods. Drug tests can also provide a quantitative analysis of illegal substances to support responsible consumption.

Impact of Passive Smoke Inhalation on Marijuana Tests

The possibility of testing positive for marijuana due to "passive" smoke exposure is low, as lab analysis thresholds exceed levels associated with secondary exposure.

Other abnormalities in urine samples might indicate tampering or false results, such as:

• Low creatinine levels can suggest sample dilution, whether through excessive water intake or the addition of water to the sample.
• Creatinine and specific gravity measurements can assess sample dilution. Labs may color the toilet water blue to deter sample dilution with toilet water.
• Enzymes might be added to alter sample stability, affecting pH levels which are also tested.

Factors Influencing Drug Detection Periods

Detection windows, or look-back periods, vary based on several factors, including:

• The dosage consumed
• Frequency of use
• Type of substance used
• An individual's metabolism and health
• Fluid intake following drug use
• Exercise levels post-consumption
• Genetic factors influencing drug metabolism
