Choosing the Right Drug Test Panel

A drug testing panel refers to the specified group of drugs to be screened and is commonly a 5, 10, or 12-panel test. Custom screenings are also available.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test analyzes a biological sample—such as urine, hair, blood, or saliva—to identify specified drugs or their metabolites. It’s used to detect performance-enhancing steroids in sports, drugs prohibited by law for employment or parole/probation, and alcohol concentration in blood (BAC) through breathalyzers. Several testing methods vary in accuracy, sensitivity, and detection duration. A drug test might include a chemical analysis of illicit drugs.

Can Passive Smoke Inhalation Cause a Marijuana Test False Positive?

“Passive” inhalation in a room where marijuana is smoked is unlikely to cause a false positive, as lab thresholds are set above levels attributed to passive exposure.

Irregularities in urine tests might suggest a false negative or intentional tampering. For example:

  • Low creatinine levels could indicate dilution, either through drinking excessive water or adding water to a sample.
  • Combining creatinine levels with specific gravity helps identify diluted samples. Labs often dye toilet water blue to deter sample dilution.
  • Some attempts to alter urine stability using enzymes change the pH, which is also monitored.

Drug Detection Timeframes

The detection window for drug tests—also known as the look-back period—depends on various factors. Influences include:

  • The amount of drug used
  • Frequency of use
  • Type of substance
  • An individual's metabolic rate and health status
  • The quantity of fluids consumed after ingestion
  • Exercise levels post-ingestion
  • Individual genetic factors influencing drug response

Local Area Info: Scranton, Pennsylvania

Scranton is the sixth-largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It is the county seat and largest city of Lackawanna County in Northeastern Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley and hosts a federal court building for the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. With a population of 77,291, it is the largest city in the Scranton–Wilkes-Barre–Hazleton, PA Metropolitan Statistical Area, which has a population of about 570,000. The city is conventionally divided into 7 districts: North Scranton, Southside, Westside, East Scranton (Hill Section), Central City, Minooka, and Green Ridge, though these areas do not have legal status.

Scranton is the geographic and cultural center of the Lackawanna River valley, and the largest of the former anthracite coal mining communities in a contiguous quilt-work that also includes Wilkes-Barre, Nanticoke, Pittston, and Carbondale. Scranton was incorporated on February 14, 1856, as a borough in Luzerne County and as a city on April 23, 1866. It became a major industrial city, a center of mining and railroads, and attracted thousands of new immigrants. It was the site of the Scranton General Strike in 1877.

People in northern Luzerne County sought a new county in 1839 but the Wilkes-Barre area resisted losing its assets. Lackawanna County did not gain independent status until 1878. Under legislation allowing the issue to be voted by residents of the proposed territory, voters favored the new county by a proportion of 6 to 1, with Scranton residents providing the major support. The city was designated as the county seat when Lackawanna County was established in 1878, and a judicial district was authorized in 1879.
