Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug test groups, or panels, such as 5, 10, or 12-panel tests, vary in the number of drugs screened. Custom screening options are available to meet specific needs.

Understanding Drug Testing

Drug testing involves analyzing a biological specimen, such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva, to verify the presence of certain substances. Tests are used widely to detect steroid use in sports, for legal compliance, and to measure blood alcohol concentration (BAC) through breathalyzers or urinalysis. Various testing methods exist, each varying in accuracy and detection periods.

Does Secondhand Smoke Lead to False Positives for Marijuana?

Secondhand marijuana smoke is unlikely to trigger false positives, as lab thresholds for detection are set above levels that might result from passive exposure.

Other urine screen anomalies could signal false negatives or sample tampering, such as:

• Low creatinine levels suggesting dilution or tampering
• Creatinine and specific gravity tests indicating added water
• Enzymes added to samples altering pH, a factor also tested

Drug Detection Periods

The detection window, or look-back period, for drugs varies based on factors such as:

• Drug dosage and frequency
• Type of drug consumed
• Individual's metabolism and health status
• Fluid intake
• Level of physical activity
• Genetic factors affecting drug response
