Drugs of abuse panel (Qualitative)5 to screen for five targeted illicit and prescription drugs and their metabolites at the minimum cutoff sensitivity levels established by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, World Health Organization (WHO) and SAMHSA. Urine based screening tests for drugs of abuse range from simple immunoassay tests to complex analytical procedures.
The 5 Panel Blood Drug test looks for common drugs of abuse. Because most drugs are metabolized quickly, blood drug testing has a shorter detection window that other specimen types. This test is typically done to see if a person is currently or recently under the influence of various drugs. The detection period can be 12 hours or less but may be up to a day or two in some cases.
Test result interpretations are Negative, Positive and Invalid.
