Choosing a Drug Testing Panel

Drug screening groups are typically identified by the panel name. Common options include the 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel drug tests, each defining how many substances are screened. Custom testing options are also available.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test involves the technical analysis of biological specimens like urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva to identify the presence of drugs or their metabolites. It serves multiple purposes, from detecting steroids in athletics to ensuring legal compliance for employers and law enforcement. Most work-related and sports tests rely on urinalysis, while BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) is measured using breath tests.

Does Passive Smoke Inhalation Trigger a False Positive for Marijuana?

Passive inhalation from being around marijuana smoke is not enough to cause a false positive, as lab cut-off concentrations are set higher than levels achieved through indirect exposure.

Irregularities in test results, like a false negative, could point to tampering. Examples include:

  • A low creatinine level may suggest dilution, either through excessive fluid intake or water added to the sample.
  • Combining creatinine levels with specific gravity exposes diluted samples. Some testing centers dye their toilet water to deter sample tampering.
  • Enzyme addition attempts might affect stability, but often alter pH, which is also tested.

Drug Retention Periods in Your System

The detection duration for drugs varies based on several factors, including:

  • Dosage amount
  • Frequency of use
  • Type of drug
  • Metabolic rate and overall health of the individual
  • Fluid intake post-consumption
  • Physical activity following consumption
  • Genetic variables influencing drug response
