Which drug testing panel is right for you?

Drug test screening groups are commonly referred to as a drug testing panel. The most common panels used are a 5 panel, 10 panel and 12 panel drug tests, (panels specify how many drugs will be screened) however customized screeningings are available as well.

What is a Drug Test?

A drug test is a technical analysis of a biological specimen, for example urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, and/or oral fluid/saliva-to determine the presence or absence of specified parent drugs or their metabolites. Major applications of drug testing include detection of the presence of performance enhancing steroids in sport, employers and parole/probation officers screening for drugs prohibited by law and police officers testing for the presence and concentration of alcohol (ethanol) in the blood commonly referred to as BAC (blood alcohol content). BAC tests are typically administered via a breathalyzer while urinalysis is used for the vast majority of drug testing in sports and the workplace. Numerous other methods with varying degrees of accuracy, sensitivity (detection threshold/cutoff), and detection periods exist. A drug test may also refer to a test that provides quantitative chemical analysis of an illegal drug, typically intended to help with responsible drug use.

Does passive smoke inhalation cause a false positive for marijuana?

"Passive" smoke inhalation from being in a room with people smoking marijuana is not considered valid, as the cut-off concentrations for lab analysis are set well above that which might occur for passive inhalation.

Other abnormalities in the urine screen may indicate that results may be a false negative or that there was deliberate adulteration of the sample. For example:

  • a low creatinine lab value can indicate that a urine sample was tampered with; either the subject diluted their urine by consuming excessive water just prior to testing, or water was added to the urine sample.
  • creatinine levels are often used in conjunction with specific gravity to determine if samples have been diluted. To help avoid this problem, the testing lab may color the water in their toilet blue to prevent the sample being diluted with water from the toilet.
  • subjects may also attempt to add certain enzymes to the urine sample to affect stability, but this often changes the pH, which is also tested.

How long do drugs stay in your system?

The window of detection or often times referred to as look back period of a drug test depend on several factors. Some of the factors impacting how long a drug will stay in your system are:

  • The amount of the drug taken
  • The frequency of the drug taken
  • The type of drug taken
  • An individual's body metabolic rate and general health
  • The amount of fluids consumed since ingesting the drug
  • The amount of exercise since ingesting the drug
  • Other genetic variations that would impact an individual's response to a specific drug

Tucker is an unincorporated community in Anderson County, located within the U.S. state of Texas. According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 304 in 2000. It is located within the Palestine, Texas micropolitan area.

The community's first church, named Green Bay African Methodist Episcopal Church, came together by a group of African Americans who worked in the cotton plantation in nearby Long Lake. It had two separate neighborhoods: Prairie Point, where the community's White residents lived, and Green Bay, where the community's Black inhabitants resided. The International and Great Northern Railroad had a track built through the settlement in 1872, and a post office by the name of Prairie Point was established in 1873. Both it and the community changed their name to Tucker, in which a family with the same last name owned land and operated a general store in the community in 1882. It was also named after a man named W.H. Tucker, who was also a member of the same family. It consisted of a steam-powered gristmill and cotton gin, a church, and 40 occupants. It shipped cotton, cottonseed, and fish. It had an estimated population of 150 in 1896, and the post office was shut down in 1905. A man named A.L. Bowers drilled many unsuccessful wells in Tucker in 1913. However, it was revived by the Tidewater and Texas Seaboard Oil Company, which created numerous oil and gas wells that became profitable in the community as well as nearby Long Lake in both 1932 and 1933. Then a refinery was built next to the community's railroad. It had 60 residents in the 1930s, and at the end of that decade, it consisted of two churches, three businesses, a factory, and numerous tanks that stored oil. Its population fell to 40 in 1964, and had around 65 to 85 residents in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It had reached its population zenith of 304 residents from 1978 through 2000. The community then consisted of three churches, several scattered homes and oil tanks, and an oil refinery not that far north. The nearby oilfield continued to operate in 1984, but it eventually shut down in 1992.

Tucker sits approximately 2 mi (3.2 km) away from the Trinity River, as well as along the intersection of U.S. Highway 84 and U.S. Highway 79 on the Missouri Pacific Railroad, 8 mi (13 km) southwest of Palestine in the southwestern portion of Anderson County.

A school called Green Bay was located in the community for the settlement's African American students, and was eventually converted into a black high school. Another school opened for white students in 1884. Both of these schools served an estimated 42 White students and 86 Black students in 1932, and then became a part of the Westwood Independent School District not long after. The community continues to be served by the Westwood ISD to this day.
