The basic pre-employment drug test is a "Five-Screen" panel (or “NIDA-5” or “SAMHSA-5”), which tests for the
following five drug types:
- Cannabinoids (Marijuana, Hashish)
- Cocaine (Cocaine, Crack, Benzoylecognine)
- Opiates (Heroin, Opium, Codeine, Morphine)
- Amphetamines (Amphetamines, Methamphetamines, Speed)
- Phencyclidine (PCP, Angel Dust)
A "Ten-Screen" panel drug test is also available, which tests for the above 5 drugs and the following additional five drugs:
- Barbituates (Phenobarbital, Secobarbitol, Pentobarbital, Butalbital, Amobarbital)
- Methaqualone (Qualuudes)
- Benzodiazepines (Tranquilizers-Diazepam, Valium, Librium, Ativan, Xanax, Clonopin, Serax, Halcion, Rohypnol)
- Methadone
- Propoxyphene (Darvon compounds)
Both the above drug screens can be performed as pre-employment, random, reasonable suspicion, and follow-up testing.
As a cost saving factor to you, with the assurance of valid screen results, each 5 or 10 panel urine drug screen is tested for
adulterants at no
additional cost at Employment Investigative Services!
Did you know that these additional drug substances are also available for testing,in addition to our 5 and 10 Screen panels?
- Ethanol (Alcohol)
- LSD
- Hallucinogens (Psilocybin, Mescaline, MDMA, MDA, MDE)
- Inhalents (Toluene, Xylene, Benzene)
- Oxycodone – see stats on expanded opiate page on Quest (while this IS detected within a regular screen it’s only at very high levels)
- Ecstacy
- Steroids
Contact Jessica@gotoeisinc.com for information regarding sample type and collection methodology.
Adulterants are substances that are either purposely added to a urine specimen or are ingested by the individual in order to hide the presence of drugs in the urine sample.
Advertised as “cleansing agents”, they include items which can be found around the home to commercially prepared materials for purchase on the Internet.
Some common adulterants and their mode of action:
Household chemicals such as bleach, vinegar, acid, ammonia, and lye – these change the pH of the urine specimen
Beverages such as lemonade, sports drinks, water, and soft drinks – these dilute the urine
Chemical additives such as glutaraldehyde (Urinaid), nitrites (Klear Whizzies), chromates (Pyridine, Urine Luck) and halogens– these chemically alter the urine
composition and/or interfere with testing methods. Commonly purchased over the Internet.
Prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Tolectin – these interfere with testing methods
