Understanding the 10-Panel Drug Test
Q: What is a 10-Panel Drug Test?
A 10-panel drug test is a versatile and comprehensive substance screening tool. Available in various specimen types – hair, fingernail, toenail, urine, and rapid urine samples – it offers flexibility in drug testing. While the range of drugs tested is broadly similar across different types, there are some variations. For instance, the urine test commonly includes methaqualone (quaaludes), which is not part of the hair or nail tests. The hair and nail tests, however, extend to substances like methadone, propoxyphene, oxycodone, benzodiazepines, and barbiturates, not covered in the 5-panel test.
Q: What Does a 10-Panel Drug Test Screen For?
The substances tested depend on the specimen type and lab. A standard 10-panel urine test typically checks for methadone, methaqualone, heroin, morphine, codeine, marijuana, phencyclidine, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, amphetamines, and cocaine. If you’re considering a hair or nail test, be aware that these do not include methaqualone.
Q: Why Choose a 10-Panel Drug Test?
This test is widely sought for various purposes, including court, custody, and divorce cases; in the medical industry, especially for those entering medical training programs; for pre-employment screening; and for driver’s license reinstatement in Michigan. It’s the preferred option for a more extensive drug screening.
