(Flat ₹1351 OFF - Sanovra Lab)
Report Time: Same Day | Sample: Urine (Random) | Test Code: HM093
The 10-Panel Drug Screen is a comprehensive toxicology test that analyzes a urine sample for the presence of ten of the most commonly abused illicit and prescription drugs. It is widely considered the industry standard for employment screening, medical diagnostics, and rehabilitation monitoring.
Because the body metabolizes and excretes drugs through the kidneys, urine testing provides an accurate window of detection, revealing substance use ranging from the past 24 hours up to several weeks, depending on the drug.
What 10 Drugs Are Tested?
This panel screens for the following distinct classes of drugs and their metabolites:
| Drug Class | Common Examples / Street Names | Avg. Detection Window |
|---|---|---|
| Amphetamines (AMP) | Adderall, Speed | 1 to 3 Days |
| Barbiturates (BAR) | Phenobarbital, Downers | 1 to 3 Weeks |
| Benzodiazepines (BZO) | Xanax, Valium, Klonopin | 1 to 4 Weeks |
| Cocaine (COC) | Coke, Crack | 2 to 4 Days |
| Marijuana (THC) | Weed, Hash, Cannabis | 3 Days to 30+ Days (varies by use) |
| Methadone (MTD) | Dolophine (Opioid addiction med) | 3 to 4 Days |
| Methamphetamine (MET) | Meth, Crystal, Ice | 3 to 5 Days |
| Opiates (OPI) | Heroin, Morphine, Codeine | 2 to 4 Days |
| Phencyclidine (PCP) | Angel Dust | 3 to 14 Days |
| TCA (Antidepressants) | Amitriptyline | Up to 10 Days |
Why is this Test Performed?
-
➤Pre-Employment Screening: Many companies require a clean 10-panel test before hiring, especially for safety-sensitive jobs (aviation, driving, heavy machinery).
-
➤Medical Diagnostics: To determine the cause of altered mental status, unexplained coma, or erratic behavior in emergency rooms.
-
➤Rehabilitation: For monitoring patients recovering from substance use disorders.
Important: The Dilution Warning
Modern labs routinely check the urine for Creatinine levels and Specific Gravity. If the urine is too diluted, the test will be flagged as an Invalid/Diluted Specimen, and you will likely be required to repeat the test under strict observation.
Interpreting Your Results
Drug screens operate on a Cutoff Level system (measured in ng/mL).
-
✔Negative: Indicates that the drug was not detected, or was present in quantities below the established cutoff threshold.
-
✔Positive: Indicates the presence of the drug or its metabolites above the cutoff limit. Note: Initial positive screenings may require a more specific confirmatory test (like GC/MS) if being used for legal or forensic purposes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Eating large amounts of unwashed poppy seeds (found in some bagels or pastries) can theoretically trigger a false positive for Opiates. However, modern labs use higher cutoff limits specifically to prevent this from happening.
No, fasting is not required. You may eat and drink normally (but avoid excessive fluids just prior to testing to prevent sample dilution).
Yes. If you are legally prescribed Benzodiazepines (like Xanax) or Amphetamines (like Adderall), they will trigger a positive result. You should declare these medications to the medical officer evaluating your results.
