Testing & Screening Types
Drug, alcohol, and medical screening methods used in workplace compliance and safety programs.
12-Panel Drug Test
An expanded workplace drug screen covering twelve substance classes, typically adding prescription opioids, benzodiazepines, or other drugs of concern to the standard 10-panel.
Learn more7-Panel Drug Test
A workplace drug screen covering seven substance classes — the standard 5-panel plus two additions, most commonly benzodiazepines and barbiturates.
Learn moreAudiogram
A hearing test that measures the softest sounds a person can hear at various frequencies, used in OSHA hearing conservation programs.
Learn moreBiometric Screening
A health screening that measures physical characteristics and biomarkers like blood pressure, BMI, cholesterol, and blood glucose.
Learn moreBAT — Breath Alcohol Test
An alcohol screening using an evidential breath testing device (EBT) to measure blood alcohol concentration from a breath sample.
Learn moreConfirmation Test
A second, highly specific laboratory test (GC-MS or LC-MS/MS) performed after a positive initial immunoassay screen to confirm presence of a specific substance.
Learn moreDetection Window
The period of time after drug use during which a particular testing method can still detect the drug or its metabolites.
Learn moreDilute Specimen
A drug test specimen with creatinine and specific gravity values below normal range, indicating excessive fluid intake before the test.
Learn moreDOT Drug Test
A federally regulated urine drug test following strict 49 CFR Part 40 procedures, required for safety-sensitive employees in DOT-regulated industries.
Learn moreDOT Physical Examination
A medical examination required by the Department of Transportation for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operators to ensure physical fitness for safe driving.
Learn moreDrug Panel
A predefined group of substances tested for in a single drug screening, ranging from the standard 5-panel to expanded panels with 12 or more substances.
Learn moreEtG — EtG Test
A urine test for ethyl glucuronide, a direct metabolite of alcohol, used to detect drinking within roughly the past 80 hours.
Learn moreEBT — Evidential Breath Testing Device
An approved device used in DOT alcohol testing that measures breath alcohol concentration from a deep-lung air sample.
Learn moreExpanded Opiates Panel
Drug test coverage that extends the traditional opiate screen (codeine, morphine, heroin) to semi-synthetic prescription opioids such as oxycodone and hydrocodone.
Learn moreFentanyl Testing
Workplace drug screening for fentanyl and its metabolite norfentanyl — a dedicated assay that standard opiate panels do not cover.
Learn more5-Panel — Five-Panel Drug Test
The standard drug test panel screening for five substance categories: marijuana (THC), cocaine, opiates, phencyclidine (PCP), and amphetamines.
Learn moreFollow-Up Drug & Alcohol Testing
Unannounced drug and/or alcohol testing prescribed by a SAP after an employee completes the return-to-duty process, lasting up to 60 months.
Learn moreGC-MS — Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry
The highly specific laboratory technique used to confirm presumptive positive drug screens by identifying the exact compound and its concentration.
Learn moreHair Follicle Drug Test
A drug screening method that analyzes a small sample of hair to detect drug use over approximately 90 days.
Learn moreIA — Immunoassay Screening
The antibody-based initial screening test used to rapidly sort drug test specimens into presumptive negatives and presumptive positives.
Learn moreLivescan Fingerprinting
A digital fingerprinting method that electronically captures and transmits prints to a requesting agency for background checks and licensing.
Learn moreNegative Drug Test Result
A drug test result indicating no controlled substance was detected at or above the established cutoff level.
Learn moreNon-DOT Drug Test
Employer-directed drug testing not subject to federal DOT regulations, allowing more flexibility in panel selection and procedures.
Learn moreObserved Collection
A drug test collection procedure where a same-gender observer directly watches the donor provide the specimen, required in specific DOT circumstances.
Learn moreOral Fluid Drug Test
A drug test using a saliva sample, offering a shorter detection window but convenient observed collection.
Learn morePEth — PEth Test
A blood test for phosphatidylethanol, a biomarker formed only in the presence of alcohol, used to assess drinking over the prior two to four weeks.
Learn morePositive Drug Test Result
A drug test result indicating the confirmed presence of a controlled substance at or above the established cutoff concentration.
Learn morePost-Accident Drug & Alcohol Testing
Drug and alcohol testing required after a DOT-recordable accident involving a commercial motor vehicle, with strict timing requirements.
Learn morePOCT — Rapid Drug Test / Point-of-Care Test
An on-site drug screening device that provides preliminary results within minutes, requiring laboratory confirmation for any non-negative result.
Learn moreRespirator Fit Test
A test to verify that a specific make, model, and size of respirator provides an adequate seal on an employee's face.
Learn moreShy Bladder / Shy Lung
A situation where the donor is unable to provide a sufficient urine specimen (shy bladder) or breath sample (shy lung) during a drug or alcohol test.
Learn moreSVT — Specimen Validity Testing
Laboratory testing that checks a drug test specimen for evidence of tampering, substitution, or dilution.
Learn moreSweat Patch Test
A continuous drug monitoring method using a tamper-evident absorbent patch worn on the skin for one to two weeks, then lab-analyzed for drugs excreted in sweat.
Learn more10-Panel — Ten-Panel Drug Test
An expanded drug test screening for ten substance categories, commonly used in non-DOT corporate drug-free workplace programs.
Learn moreTuberculosis (TB) Test
A screening test for tuberculosis infection using either a skin test (TST/Mantoux) or blood test (IGRA), commonly required for healthcare and education workers.
