Which Drug Testing Panel Suits Your Needs?

Drug testing panels are categorized by the number of substances screened: common panels include 5, 10, and 12-panel tests, with options for custom screenings available as needed.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test entails analyzing a biological sample such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or oral fluid/saliva to detect specific drugs or their metabolites. Key uses include identifying performance-enhancing steroid use in sports, screening for illegal substances in workplaces, or monitoring blood alcohol content via breathalyzers.

Various testing methods offer differential accuracy, sensitivity, and detection windows, with other tests providing detailed chemical analyses of illegal substances.

Does Passive Smoke Result in a False Positive for Marijuana?

Test thresholds are above what passive inhalation could cause, so "passive" smoke inhalation is not considered valid for marijuana detection. Lab analyses disregard such influences.

Abnormal findings may hint at false negatives or sample adulteration. For instance:

  • Low creatinine can indicate tampering through excessive fluid intake or sample dilution.
  • Combining creatinine levels with specific gravity helps identify sample dilution. To curb this, labs may tint toilet water blue to prevent dilution.
  • Efforts to alter enzyme stability can change pH levels, which are also tested.

Drug Presence Duration in Systems

Detection windows for drug tests, influenced by various factors, vary depending on:

  • Drug quantity
  • Usage frequency
  • Drug type
  • Individual metabolism and health factors
  • Fluids consumed post-intake
  • Exercise post-intake
  • Genetic factors affecting drug metabolism
