Selecting the Right Testing Panel

Drug screening panels determine the drug types screened. Common panels include 5, 10, and 12-panel tests, with custom options available.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test analyzes biological specimens like urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva to detect drugs or their metabolites. Applications include performance-enhancing drug checks in sports, employer screenings, and law enforcement alcohol testing. Breathalyzers calculate blood alcohol content (BAC), while urinalysis is prevalent in sports and workplaces. Various methods have diverse accuracy, sensitivity, and detection times. Drug tests may also analyze illegal substances for responsible use knowledge.

Does Passive Marijuana Smoke Cause False Positives?

"Passive" inhalation from marijuana doesn't typically register as labs set thresholds beyond passive exposure levels.

Other anomalies in urine screens might signal false negatives or sample tampering attempts, such as:

• A low creatinine level can suggest dilution, either by consuming excessive water before the test or by adding water to the sample.
• Creatinine and specific gravity help identify diluted samples. To avoid this, labs may add dye to toilet water to prevent sample contamination.
• Attempts to alter urine stability by adding enzymes often alter the pH, which is also measured.

Drug Presence Duration in the System

The detection period for drugs varies based on factors like:

• Drug amount taken
• Frequency of usage
• Type of drug
• Individual's metabolism and health
• Fluid intake post-consumption
• Exercise post-consumption
• Genetic variables impacting drug response
