What is an 8-Panel Drug Test?
An 8-panel drug test kit is used to test for particular
drugs. "Panel" refers to the specific group of drugs or substances
that are included in the test itself.
Why Pick a Test With Adulterations?
Particular drug tests come with a safeguard to cheating with
adulterants that check to ensure the urine specimen is not contaminated with
chemicals to provide a false-negative test result.
Oxidants (OX) tests for the presence of
oxidizing agents such as bleach.
Creatinine (CRE) tests the specimen's dilution levels
and "flushing."
pH tests for the presence of alkaline or
acidic adulterants in urine.
Specific Gravity (SG) tests the specimen
dilution level.
Glutaraldehyde (GL) detects traces of an aldehyde.
Nitrites (NI) tests for commercial adulterants such
as Whizzies
