Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel for Your Needs

A "drug testing panel" refers to the specific group of drugs screened in a test. Common options include 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, with custom screenings available.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test involves analyzing a biological specimen, such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva, to detect specific parent drugs or their metabolites. Key uses include identifying performance-enhancing drugs and screening for legally banned substances in employment or parole settings. Police often utilize BAC (blood alcohol content) tests using a breathalyzer. While urinalysis is predominant in workplaces and sports, other methods vary in accuracy and detection periods. Drug tests may also include quantitative analysis of illegal substances to assist with responsible usage.

Effect of Passive Marijuana Smoke Inhalation on Test Results

"Passive" exposure to marijuana smoke is unlikely to result in a false positive, as laboratory detection thresholds are set above levels that passive inhalation could produce.

Urine test anomalies might point to false negatives or sample tampering. For instance:

• Low creatinine levels may indicate tampering, possibly by water dilution shortly before testing.
• Creatinine levels are often evaluated alongside specific gravity to assess sample dilution. Some laboratories dye toilet water to discourage sample dilution.
• Attempts to alter pH using enzymes in the sample can affect results and are also tested for.

Drug Retention Duration in the Body

Detection windows for drug tests, also known as look-back periods, vary based on several factors, including:

• The quantity of the drug consumed
• The frequency of use
• The type of substance
• Individual metabolic rate and health status
• Fluid intake post-consumption
• Activity level after drug use
• Genetic differences affecting drug response
