Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel

A drug screening group is known as a drug testing panel. Common panels include 5, 10, and 12-panel tests, representing the number of drugs screened. Customized screenings are also available.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test involves analyzing a biological specimen, such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva, to detect specific drugs or metabolites. Key uses include identifying performance-enhancing drugs in sports, ensuring law compliance by employers, and alcohol testing by law enforcement. BAC (blood alcohol content) is usually tested via a breathalyzer, while urinalysis is broadly used in sports and workplace settings. Various testing methods exist, each with unique accuracy, sensitivity, and detection durations. Drug tests may also quantify illegal drugs, aiding responsible usage.

Can Passive Smoke Inhalation Cause a False Positive for Marijuana?

Exposure to marijuana smoke passively, while in a room with smokers, is not a valid cause for a false positive; lab analysis cut-off levels are set far above what passive inhalation might cause.

• Low creatinine levels can signal urine tampering, such as sample dilution by drinking excessive water prior to testing or adding water directly to the sample.
• Creatinine levels, along with specific gravity, assess sample dilution. Testing facilities might use colored toilet water to prevent sample tampering.
• Altering urine with certain enzymes can affect stability, changing pH—this is also examined.

Duration of Drugs in Your Body

The detection window of a drug test, also called the look-back period, depends on numerous factors. Influencing factors include:

• Drug dosage
• Drug intake frequency
• Type of drug
• Individual's body metabolism and health
• Fluid intake after drug use
• Exercise following drug ingestion
• Genetic differences affecting drug response
