The State of Michigan requires a 12-panel urine test. The sample must be tested for at least two integrity variables, also referred to as adulterants. Michigan Court Services, Inc uses State Approved Lab for all testing supplies and sends specimen to the Lab for all needed confirmations.
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 substances: barbiturates, 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.
