Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug test panel options include frequently used 5, 10, or 12-panel tests, which refer to the quantity of drugs screened. Customized panels are also available on request.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test involves analyzing a biological sample, such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva, to identify the presence of specific drugs or their metabolites. Common applications include verifying performance-enhancing drug use in sports, employer screenings as required by law, and police BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) tests using breathalyzers. Urinalysis remains a prevalent method in workplaces and sports. A drug test may also encompass quantitative analyses of illicit substances aimed at informing responsible use.

Impact of Passive Marijuana Smoke on Drug Tests

The notion that "passive" marijuana smoke inhalation might result in a positive test is largely dismissible since lab analysis thresholds are above levels generally associated with passive exposure.

Irregularities in urine samples might suggest tampering, false negatives, or deliberate adulteration. For example:

• A low creatinine result can signal tampering, typically via pre-test dilution through excessive water intake or water addition to the sample.
• Creatinine levels, alongside specific gravity, help detect sample dilution. To counteract this, labs may color toilet water blue to prevent sample contamination with toilet water.
• Altering urine pH by adding enzymes also risks sample disgrace and is detectable.

Drug Retention Periods in Your System

The detection window, or look-back period, varies with several factors including:

• Amount and frequency of drug use
• Type of drug used
• Individual metabolic rate and health
• Fluid intake post-drug use
• Physical activity levels post-drug use
• Genetic factors influencing drug processing
