Michigan Court Services, Inc provides state-approved drug tests and uses state-approved labs for all testing supplies. The urine sample must be tested for at least two integrity variables and then sent to the lab for all needed confirmations. This process ensures that all testing is done accurately and that the results are reliable.

The purpose of a 12-panel drug screen is to check for illicit substances. A typical 12 panel drug screen will test for active metabolites for some of these substancesbarbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, methadone, methaqualone, opiates and propoxyphene.

How to Prepare for the 12 Panel Drug Screen

Make sure no alcohol or any illicit drugs consumed before the test. You also want try to avoid going to the bathroom for at least couple hours before your test. The samples are tested for two types of dilution: internal and external. Internal dilution is where you might have an issue if you had excessive amount of liquids beforehand. Samples are tested for the concentration of metabolites, including creatinine. If your urine sample shows creatinine levels between 2 and 20 milligrams per deciliter, a specific gravity of 1.003 or less will be viewed as a diluted sample even if no illicit substances are detected.
