What Each Panel Drug Test Screens For
We offer a wide selection of panels, each designed to detect specific substances. Our Fort Collins facility uses modern equipment, and most results are available within minutes.
- 5 Panel Drug Test: Screens for cocaine, marijuana, amphetamines, opiates, and PCP. This is the standard for Department of Transportation workplace testing and aligns with general occupational safety requirements. DOT-regulated positions require this specific 5-panel configuration under 49 CFR Part 40. A broader panel can’t be substituted, regardless of employer preference.
- 10 Panel Drug Test: Includes everything in the 5-panel plus barbiturates, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine, ecstasy/MDMA, and methadone. A 10 panel drug test in Fort Collins is a common choice for employers in healthcare, construction, and transportation where broader prescription drug screening is required.
- 12 Panel Drug Test: Covers everything in the 10-panel and adds buprenorphine and oxycodone. The 12 panel drug test in Fort Collins is frequently used for court-ordered testing and recovery monitoring programs because of its expanded opiate coverage.
Colorado has legalized recreational cannabis, but the federal DOT 5-panel test is governed by 49 CFR Part 40, and that substance list is unchanged by state law. Employers who maintain drug-free workplace programs may still test for cannabis and may select any panel tier based on their written policy.
Beyond the core panels, we offer screening for up to 22 substances, including fentanyl and synthetic marijuana. Employers, athletic programs, and families who need expanded coverage can work with our team to identify the right configuration for their situation.
