Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug testing panels describe the group of drugs being screened. Common configurations are the 5, 10, and 12-panel tests, but we can customize to meet specific requirements.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test involves analyzing a biological specimen, like urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva, to detect specific parent drugs or metabolites. Purposes include identifying performance-enhancing drugs in sports, supervising parole/probation compliance, and law enforcement checks for alcohol via breathalyzer. Most workplace and sports tests use urinalysis. Numerous additional methods offer varying accuracy and detection lengths, with some tests intended for reliable self-awareness of illegal drug use.

Impacts of Passive Smoke on Marijuana Tests

Exposure to passive smoke in marijuana scenarios is typically deemed invalid for causing false positives as cutoff thresholds in labs exceed passive inhalation levels.

Referral of a urine screen as false negatives or tampering indicates abnormalities. For example:

• Low creatinine may imply sample tampering from excess fluid intake to diluting with water.
• Creatinine often works alongside specific gravity to detect dilution. Labs sometimes use blue toilet dye to avoid sample tampering.
• Enzymes may be added to alter a urine sample's stability, potentially affecting the pH level, which is tested as well.

Drug Duration in the System

The detection window for drugs is influenced by various factors, including:

• Drug dosage
• Frequency
• Type of drug
• Individual metabolic rates and health
• Fluid consumption post-intake
• Physical activity levels
• Genetic variations affecting drug responses
