12-Panel Comprehensive Urine Drug Test

12-Panel Comprehensive Urine Drug Test

Urine Drug Testing

The 12-panel drug test is engineered to detect a comprehensive array of 12 distinct drug types. This advanced testing option provides a more extensive analysis compared to the traditional 5-panel test, which screens for only five standard drug categories. By expanding the detection capabilities to 12 panels, this test identifies a wider range of substances, including frequently misused prescription medications and illicit drugs. It is particularly essential in environments where a thorough understanding of an individual’s drug use is critical for safety and compliance.

The 12-Panel Comprehensive Urine Drug Test is designed to screen for the following substances:

  1. Amphetamine (AMP)
  2. Cocaine (COC)
  3. Marijuana (THC)
  4. Phencyclidine (PCP)
  5. Methamphetamine (mAMP or MET)
  6. Barbiturates (BAR)
  7. Benzodiazepines (BZO)
  8. Buprenorphine (BUP)
  9. Methadone (MTD)
  10. Oxycodone (OXY)
  11. Morphine (MOP)
  12. Ecstasy (MDMA)

This test provides a thorough evaluation of drug use, making it an essential tool for workplaces, clinics, and other environments where drug screening is necessary.

Why would I need this test?
The 12-Panel Comprehensive Urine Drug Test is ideal for individuals or organizations seeking an extensive screening for a wide range of commonly abused substances. This test is often used for pre-employment screenings, workplace compliance, legal or regulatory requirements, or personal assessments to promote safety and adherence to substance use policies.
Will over-the-counter or prescription medications affect the test results?
Yes, certain over-the-counter and prescription medications can affect the test results by causing false positives or being detected as specific substances. Medications such as some pain relievers (e.g., codeine, hydrocodone), decongestants containing pseudoephedrine, antihistamines, certain antidepressants, and sleep aids might interfere with the test. It's important to inform the testing administrator about any medications or supplements you're taking to ensure accurate interpretation of the results.
Do I need to prepare for the test?
No special preparation is required for this test. However, to help ensure accurate results, you may consider avoiding: Poppy seeds, which can lead to positive results for opiates. Certain herbal supplements like kratom or valerian root. Over-the-counter medications containing pseudoephedrine, dextromethorphan, or diphenhydramine. Tonic water, which contains quinine and could potentially affect the results. Do not discontinue any prescribed medications without consulting your healthcare provider.
How is the sample collected for the test?
The test requires a urine sample. You will be provided with a sterile collection container and directed to a private restroom to provide the sample. The collection process is straightforward and typically takes just a few minutes.
