Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug screening levels or panels dictate the range of substances tested. Common configurations include 5, 10, or 12-panel tests, though bespoke testing can be arranged.

Overview of Drug Testing

Drug testing involves the scientific examination of biological samples, such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva, to detect specific drugs or their metabolites. It's widely used for performance-enhancing substance detection in sports, by employers and parole officers for illegal drugs, and by police to measure alcohol levels (BAC). Urinalysis is prevalent in workplaces and sports, though various accurate and sensitive methods with different detection timings exist.

Does Passive Marijuana Smoke Lead to False Positives?

Inhaling secondhand marijuana smoke does not typically result in detectable levels in drug testing, as laboratory thresholds are set to levels much higher than would result from passive exposure.

Some urinalysis anomalies may indicate false negatives or sample tampering:

• Low creatinine levels may suggest sample dilution; subjects often consume excess water, or water is added to the sample.
• Testing often combines creatinine levels and specific gravity to check for dilution, with labs sometimes coloring toilet water to prevent contamination.
• Attempting to modify samples with enzymes can destabilize them and alter pH levels, which are also tested.

Drug Retention in the System

The detection period, or look-back window, of drugs varies. Factors influencing retention include:

• Drug quantity and frequency of use
• Specific drug type
• Individual metabolic rate and health
• Hydration levels post-consumption
• Exercise post-consumption
• Genetic factors affecting drug metabolism
