Selecting the Suitable Drug Testing Panel

Drug testing panels, which specify drug screening numbers, include the common 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, along with customizable options.

Understanding Drug Testing

A drug test is a technical analysis of a biological sample—such as urine, hair, blood, or saliva—to detect specific drugs or their metabolites. Applications include detection of performance-enhancing steroids in sports and screening for legally prohibited drugs by employers and legal authorities. BAC tests, primarily conducted using breathalyzers, measure blood alcohol content, while urinalysis remains prevalent in workplace and sports testing. Other methods vary in accuracy, sensitivity, and detection periods. Drug tests might also involve quantitative analysis of illicit drugs to promote responsible use.

Passive Smoke Inhalation and Marijuana Testing

"Passive" smoke inhalation from being near marijuana smokers is unlikely to cause a false positive as lab cut-off concentrations exceed levels that such exposure would cause.

Irregularities in urine screens may indicate false negatives or sample tampering. Indicators include:

• Low creatinine values may suggest sample dilution, achieved by subjects consuming excess water or adding water to the sample.
• Combining creatinine levels with specific gravity helps detect diluted samples. Testing centers often dye toilet water blue to prevent dilution.
• Attempting to alter the sample with enzymes can change the pH, which is also tested.

Drug Detection Duration

The detection period for drugs varies, influenced by various factors such as:

• Drug dosage
• Frequency of use
• Type of drug
• Individual metabolism and health
• Hydration levels post-drug consumption
• Exercise since drug intake
• Genetic factors affecting drug response
