Understanding 10-Panel Drug Test Cutoff Levels
A 10-panel drug test is a comprehensive screening tool used to detect the presence of various substances in a person's system. This test is widely used in various settings, including workplaces and medical facilities, to ensure compliance with legal and safety standards. The "cutoff levels" are the threshold concentrations of substances that must be exceeded for a test result to be considered positive.
The cutoff levels for a 10-panel drug test are established to differentiate between regular drug use and incidental exposure. Common substances tested include amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana (THC), opiates, PCP, and more. Each substance has a specific cutoff level, measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL), set to reduce false positives while ensuring accurate detection. For example:
- Amphetamines: 500 ng/mL
- Cocaine: 300 ng/mL
- Marijuana (THC): 50 ng/mL
- Opiates: 2000 ng/mL
These levels are set by regulatory agencies such as the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and can vary slightly depending on the testing laboratory.
