Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel for You

Drug test screenings, or panels, are categorized by the number of substances tested. Most popular are the 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, though custom screenings are offered.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test involves analyzing a biological specimen such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva to check for specific drugs or their metabolites. Drug tests are used in sports doping detection, legal settings, and by employers to screen for prohibited substances. BAC tests measure alcohol content through breath analyzers, with urinalysis being the main method in sports and workplaces.

Variations exist, each with differing accuracy, sensitivity, and detection periods. Some drug tests provide quantitative analyses to assist responsible drug use.

Does Passive Smoke Inhalation Affect Marijuana Test Results?

"Passive" inhalation by being in proximity to marijuana smokers is generally not viable for false-positives due to lab cut-off levels being too high for passive exposure.

Urine screening irregularities may suggest false negatives or sample tampering. Examples include:

• Low creatinine can signal sample dilution, either by excessive water intake before testing or water added to the sample.
• Creatinine and specific gravity levels help determine dilution. To prevent this, testing labs might add blue dye to toilet water.
• Attempts to alter sample stability with enzymes can also reveal changes through pH testing.

Drug Presence Duration in the System

The duration a drug remains detectable varies due to several factors:

• Dosage of the drug
• Frequency of use
• Drug type
• Individual's metabolic rate and health status
• Fluid intake post-drug use
• Physical activity after ingestion
• Genetic differences impacting drug response
