Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug tests are grouped into panels that determine the number of drugs screened. Popular choices include 5, 10, and 12-panel tests, with options for customized screenings.

Understanding Drug Testing

Drug tests involve analyzing biological samples, such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, and saliva, to detect parent drugs or metabolites. Common uses include screening for steroids in sports, detecting illegal drug use by employers, probation officers, or police officers measuring blood alcohol content (BAC) via breathalyzer. While urinalysis is widely used in workplace and sports settings, various other methods exist with differing accuracy, detection periods, and sensitivity.

Can Passive Smoke Lead to False Marijuana Positives?

"Passive" marijuana smoke exposure is generally not a concern for false positives, as lab cutoff levels are set significantly higher than what could result from passive exposure.

Urine screen discrepancies might indicate false negatives or deliberate sample tampering. For instance:

• Low creatinine levels can signal urine tampering, either from excessive water intake before testing or water addition to the sample.
• Creatinine and specific gravity measurements are used to spot sample dilution. To prevent dilution, labs may color toilet water blue.
• Attempting to alter urine stability with enzymes can change pH levels, which are also checked during testing.

Drug Metabolization Periods

The detection window for drugs in the system varies depending on several factors, including:

• Dosage taken
• Frequency of use
• Type of substance
• Individual's metabolism and health
• Fluid consumption after use
• Amount of exercise post-ingestion
• Genetic factors affecting drug response
