Order 12 Panel Drug TestingA 12-panel drug test is a broad immunoassay screen performed on a urine specimen. It is designed to detect recent use of several common drugs and drug classes in a single sample. The panel is frequently used in settings where a general substance-use overview is needed rather than a targeted test for one substance.
About 12 Panel Drug Testing in La Mesa
The 12-panel urine drug test screens for twelve distinct drugs or drug classes using immunoassay methodology.
The panel typically covers 6-AM (a heroin metabolite), amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine metabolite, MDMA, THC (cannabis metabolite), methadone, methaqualone, opiates, PCP, and propoxyphene. Each analyte has its own detection window, which depends on the substance, dose, frequency of use, and individual metabolism.
Because this is a screening test, a presumptive positive result is not a confirmed finding. A different analytical method, most often gas chromatography-mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, is required to confirm a positive screen. Results are reported for each of the twelve analytes.
Urine is the specimen type used for this panel. Collection follows standard chain-of-custody procedures when the result is intended for legal, employment, or clinical decision-making. Turnaround time is typically one to three business days after the specimen reaches the laboratory.
