What are the different panel drug tests?

  When you decide to test your employees for drugs, you'll have several different choices to make. Will you test your employees on-site or at a clinic? When would you like to implement the program? Will you use random testing? Most importantly, which panel of drug test would you like to use? The term "panel" refers to a drug or family of drugs included in a drug test. For example, the panel "opiates" includes morphine, codeine, and heroin. The more panels a test includes, the greater the scope of the test.

​

  These days, drug tests can detect a great variety of drugs, from marijuana and cocaine to Ritalin and bath salts. Drug panels can be customized, but most poeople stick with the standard tests: 5-panel, 6-panel,7-panel, 8-panel, 9-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel. Although a standard 5-panel urine drug test is a sensible choice for many companies, if you are concerned about the abuse of prescription drugs and painkillers, you may need to choose a more extensive test.
