Choosing the Correct Drug Testing Panel

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test involves technical analysis of biological samples—such as urine, hair, blood, or saliva—to identify specified drugs or their metabolites. Applications span from sports, where enhancing steroid use is monitored, to legal and employment environments. Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) testing, primarily conducted via breathalyzers, assesses alcohol concentration. Various methodologies, distinguished by accuracy, sensitivity, and detection range, are prevalent. Drug tests can also provide quantitative analysis of illicit substances.

Can Passive Smoke Exposure Yield a Positive Marijuana Test?

Exposure to secondhand marijuana smoke is not a valid cause of a positive test result, as laboratories establish maximum detection thresholds beyond levels possible from incidental exposure.

Abnormalities in urine tests can suggest false negatives or deliberate test interference. Examples include:

• Low creatinine levels indicating potential sample dilution or tampering, possibly by consuming excessive fluids or adding water to samples.
• Comparative analysis of creatinine and specific gravity to verify sample integrity, with colored water preventing sample dilution during collection.
• Attempts to alter stability by adding enzymes, detectable through pH changes.

Factors Affecting Drug Detection Windows

• Quantity of drug consumed
• Frequency of consumption
• Type of drug
• The individual’s metabolic rate and overall health
• Fluid intake post-consumption
• Exercise level following ingestion
• Genetic differences impacting drug response
