The Dutch heard and spelled the river and the place as "Minguannan." When settlers and traders from the Swedish South Company under Peter Minuit arrived in March 1638 on the Fogel Grip and Kalmar Nyckel, they purchased Maax-waas Unk from Chief Mattahorn and built Fort Christina at the mouth of the Maax-waas Hanna (which the Swedes renamed the Christina River after Queen Christina of Sweden). The area was also known as "The Rocks", and is located near the foot of present-day Seventh Street. Fort Christina served as the headquarters for the colony of New Sweden which consisted of, for the most part, the lower Delaware River region (parts of present-day Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey), but few colonists settled there. Dr. Timothy Stidham (Swedish:Timen Lulofsson Stiddem) was a prominent citizen and doctor in Wilmington. He was born in 1610, probably in Hammel, Denmark and raised in Gothenburg, Sweden. He arrived in New Sweden in 1654 and is recorded as the first physician in Delaware.

Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

A drug test panel specifies which substances will be screened. Common panels include 5, 10, and 12 drugs, though customizable options are available.

Understanding a Drug Test

A drug test analyzes a biological sample—like urine, hair, blood, saliva, or sweat—to detect the presence of drugs or their metabolites. These tests are often used to detect steroids in sports, screen for illegal drugs for employers or parole officers, and measure blood alcohol content (BAC) for law enforcement. Most sports and workplace drug tests use urinalysis, while breathalyzers measure BAC. Many testing methods exist, varying in accuracy, sensitivity, and detection periods. A drug test could also involve the chemical analysis of illegal drugs to promote responsible use.

Can Passive Smoke Cause a False Positive?

"Passive" inhalation from being in a room with marijuana smoke isn’t considered a valid cause for a positive result, as lab analysis thresholds are set higher than what passive exposure would produce.

Other results discrepancies may suggest a false negative or deliberate sample tampering. Examples include:

  • Low creatinine levels may indicate sample tampering, either from excessive water intake or dilution of the sample.
  • Creatinine measurements and specific gravity help detect dilution; labs may also dye toilet water blue to prevent such tampering.
  • Attempts to alter the sample with enzymes may shift pH levels, which are also checked.

Drug Detection Periods

The detection window of a drug test depends on several factors, including:

  • Amount of drug taken
  • Frequency of use
  • Type of drug
  • Individual's metabolism and general health
  • Fluid intake post-ingestion
  • Exercise post-ingestion
  • Genetic factors influencing drug response

It is at the confluence of the Christina River and Brandywine River, near where the Christina flows into the Delaware River. It is the county seat of New Castle County and one of the major cities in the Delaware Valley metropolitan area. Wilmington was named by Proprietor Thomas Penn after his friend Spencer Compton, Earl of Wilmington, who was prime minister in the reign of George II of Great Britain.

As of the 2017 United States Census estimate, the city's population is 72,846. It is the fifth least populous city in the U.S. to be the most populous in its state. The Wilmington Metropolitan Division, comprising New Castle County, DE, Cecil County, MD and Salem County, NJ, had an estimated 2016 population of 719,876. The Delaware Valley metropolitan area, which includes the cities of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Camden, New Jersey, had a 2016 population of 6,070,500, and a combined statistical area of 7,179,357.

The area now known as Wilmington was settled by the Lenape (or Delaware Indian) band led by Sachem (Chief) Mattahorn just before Henry Hudson sailed up the Len-api Hanna ("People Like Me River", present Delaware River) in 1609. The area was called "Maax-waas Unk" or "Bear Place" after the Maax-waas Hanna (Bear River) that flowed by (present Christina River). It was called the Bear River because it flowed west to the "Bear People", who are now known as the People of Conestoga or the Susquehannocks.[citation needed]

The Dutch heard and spelled the river and the place as "Minguannan." When settlers and traders from the Swedish South Company under Peter Minuit arrived in March 1638 on the Fogel Grip and Kalmar Nyckel, they purchased Maax-waas Unk from Chief Mattahorn and built Fort Christina at the mouth of the Maax-waas Hanna (which the Swedes renamed the Christina River after Queen Christina of Sweden). The area was also known as "The Rocks", and is located near the foot of present-day Seventh Street. Fort Christina served as the headquarters for the colony of New Sweden which consisted of, for the most part, the lower Delaware River region (parts of present-day Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey), but few colonists settled there. Dr. Timothy Stidham (Swedish:Timen Lulofsson Stiddem) was a prominent citizen and doctor in Wilmington. He was born in 1610, probably in Hammel, Denmark and raised in Gothenburg, Sweden. He arrived in New Sweden in 1654 and is recorded as the first physician in Delaware.
