About Drug Testing in Westerville
Drug testing refers to a group of laboratory methods that identify drugs, prescription medications, or their breakdown products in the body.
Most drug tests rely on immunoassay screening, which uses antibodies to detect drug classes or specific compounds. A presumptive positive result is often confirmed with a more specific method such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
The sample type matters. Urine is the most common specimen because it concentrates metabolites and provides a longer detection window for many substances. Blood reflects recent use, saliva is useful for recent exposure, and hair can indicate use over a longer period.
Results are reported as negative, positive, or, in some cases, inconclusive. A positive result typically names the substance or class detected and may include a cutoff concentration. Interpretation depends on the panel, the specimen, and the laboratory's established reference ranges.
