Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Common panel types include 5, 10, and 12-panel tests, indicating the number of drugs screened. Customized options are also available.

Understanding Drug Tests

Drug tests involve technical analysis of biological samples such as urine, hair, or blood to detect drugs or their metabolites. Testing detects sports steroid use, checks for legal infractions in parole, and determines blood alcohol content (BAC) levels through breath tests. While urine tests are common in sports and workplaces, many methods exist with various accuracy and detection capabilities.

Are False Positives Possible from Passive Smoke Inhalation?

Exposure to marijuana smoke is unlikely to cause false positives, as labs set cut-off levels well above passive exposure potential.

Other urine test anomalies might indicate tampering. For instance:

  • Low creatinine suggests sample tampering through excessive water consumption or dilution.
  • Both creatinine and specific gravity are measured to check for dilution, with some labs coloring toilet water to prevent dilution.
  • Adding enzymes for stability can alter pH, which is also measured.

Drug Retention in the Body

Various factors affect a drug's presence in the system, such as:

  • Drug quantity used
  • Frequency of use
  • Type of drug
  • The person's metabolism and health
  • Fluid intake post-ingestion
  • Exercise following use
  • Genetic differences affecting drug response
