FAQ for 16 Panel Drug Screen Dip Kit
Q: Can urine drug tests show how much of a substance you’ve taken?
A: No, urine drug tests like the 16 Panel Drug Screen cannot determine the quantity of a substance consumed. They are designed to detect the presence of specific drugs and their metabolites in the urine, not the amount ingested.

Q: Can weed show up in drug tests?
A: Yes, marijuana (THC) can be detected by the 16 Panel Drug Screen. It is included as one of the 16 substances the test is designed to identify, with a cutoff level of 50 ng/mL for THC.
Q: Are there substances not detectable in urine drug tests?
A: Yes, some substances may not be detected because they are outside the scope of the specific drugs tested. For example, certain designer drugs or synthetic compounds might not appear unless explicitly included in the test panel.
The 16 Panel Drug Screen focuses on commonly misused substances and provides one of the most comprehensive screenings available.
Q: How accurate is the 16 Panel Drug Screen?
A: The 16 Panel Drug Screen provides highly accurate results when used correctly. It has been designed to meet industry standards for reliability and quality, detecting substances at established cutoff levels. However, any positive result should be confirmed by more robust laboratory testing if required.

A: No, the 16 Panel Drug Screen does not include alcohol as part of its standard substances. Specific alcohol testing panels are available separately if alcohol detection is required.
Q: What is the detection window for the substances tested?
A: The detection window varies widely depending on the substance, frequency of use, and individual metabolism. For example, marijuana may be detectable for several days in infrequent users and several weeks in chronic users, while substances like cocaine are typically detectable for 2-4 days.
Q: Is the test affected by over-the-counter or prescription medications?
A: Some over-the-counter or prescription medications may cause false positives for certain substances. For instance, antihistamines or cold medications could mimic amphetamines in test results. It is important to disclose any medications to the administrator prior to testing to ensure accurate interpretation of results.
