Order 12 Panel Drug TestingThe 12 Panel Drug test is a urine-based screen that detects twelve distinct drug classes in a single sample. It is commonly used when a broad overview of recent substance exposure is required, rather than a targeted analysis of one compound.
About 12 Panel Drug Testing in Atascadero
This assay examines urine for metabolites of several prescription, over-the-counter, and illicit substances.
The panel covers 6-AM, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, MDMA, THC, methadone, methaqualone, opiates, PCP, and propoxyphene. Each class is detected through specific immunoassay reactions that flag the presence of drug metabolites above established thresholds.
Because the test groups substances by class, a positive result indicates that a member of that class was detected, not necessarily which specific drug was used. Confirmatory testing, often performed with mass spectrometry, can identify the exact compound when needed.
Detection windows vary by substance and by individual factors such as metabolism, frequency of use, and hydration. Urine remains the most common specimen for broad panel screening because it captures recent use across multiple drug categories.
