Order 12 Panel Drug TestingThe 12 Panel Drug Test is a urine-based screen that detects twelve distinct drug classes in a single sample.

About 12 Panel Drug Testing in Downey
What the 12 Panel Drug Test measures
This assay screens for twelve drug classes: 6-AM, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, MDMA, THC, methadone, methaqualone, opiates, PCP, and propoxyphene. Each class represents a group of related compounds rather than a single substance, so a positive result indicates exposure to one or more members of that group.
Detection windows vary by substance and by individual factors such as dose, frequency of use, metabolism, and hydration. Urine testing generally captures recent use, though the exact window differs across the twelve classes. A screening result is presumptive; definitive identification of a specific compound requires a confirmatory method such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
The test is typically ordered to support workplace screening, clinical monitoring, or other situations where a standardized multi-class panel is appropriate. Results are reported for each of the twelve classes, and the specimen is collected and processed according to the laboratory's standard chain-of-custody and handling procedures.
