Which Drug Testing Panel Suits Your Needs?

Drug screening categories, commonly known as panels, consist of various test counts. The frequently utilized ones are 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, though customized screenings are also available.

Defining a Drug Test

A drug test involves analyzing a biological specimen—such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva—to identify the presence or absence of specified drugs or their metabolites. Drug testing serves several purposes, including detecting performance-enhancing drugs in sports, compliance checks by employers and parole/probation officers, and alcohol concentration testing by law enforcement. The blood alcohol content (BAC) test is often performed using a breathalyzer, whereas urinalysis is predominant in sports and workplace testing. Various testing methods exist with different effectiveness, sensitivity, and detection periods. Additionally, drug tests can identify and quantify illicit substances to support informed and responsible use.

Does Passive Smoke Inhalation Lead to False Positives for Marijuana?

"Passive" marijuana smoke exposure is not a valid cause for false positives, as laboratory cut-off points are set higher than levels resulting from passive inhalation.

Abnormalities in the urine screen could indicate intentional sample tampering or a false negative result. For instance:

• A low creatinine level may suggest a tampered sample, either through excessive water intake right before testing or external dilution.
• Creatinine levels and specific gravity are assessed to determine if samples are diluted. Testing facilities may color toilet water blue to prevent mixing with water.
• Attempts to modify urine stability by adding enzymes may also alter the sample's pH level, which is tested as well.

The Duration of Drug Presence in Your System

The "look back period" or detection window of a drug test is influenced by various factors, including:

• The dose of the drug taken
• The frequency of drug usage
• The drug type
• The individual's metabolic rate and general health
• The amount of fluids consumed post-ingestion
• Physical activity undertaken after using the drug
• Genetic differences affecting drug processing
