Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug test screens are typically grouped into panels, such as 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests (indicating the number of substances screened), but customized screenings are also available.

Definition of a Drug Test

A drug test involves a technical assessment of a biological sample—such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or oral fluid/saliva—to detect the presence or absence of specified drugs or metabolites. Drug testing is crucial for identifying performance-enhancing substances in sports, screening by employers or parole officers, and alcohol concentration assessments by law enforcement via BAC testing, commonly using breathalyzers. Urinalysis is the predominant choice for sports and workplace drug tests, supplemented by various approaches with differing accuracy, sensitivity, and detection spans. Additionally, a drug test can entail a quantitative analysis to promote informed drug use.

Impact of Passive Smoke on Marijuana Test Results

Exposure to marijuana smoke passively will not trigger a false positive in drug testing, as lab cut-off values are set significantly above passive inhalation levels.

If a urine screen produces atypical results, it may indicate a false negative or deliberate sample tampering. For instance:

  • Low creatinine levels could suggest tampering, either via excessive water intake before testing or water dilution.
  • Creatinine levels, paired with specific gravity measurements, help confirm if samples have been diluted. To counteract this, testing labs might color toilet water blue to prevent dilution using toilet water.
  • Subjects may also mix certain enzymes into the sample to alter stability, affecting pH, which is also tested.

Drug System Retention Duration

Detection windows or 'look-back periods' in drug testing derive from multiple factors. These include:

  • Drug dosage
  • Frequency of usage
  • Type of substance
  • An individual's metabolic rate and general health
  • Fluid intake post drug use
  • Exercise levels post drug use
  • Genetic factors impacting an individual's drug response
