Drug Test Panel Options at Fastest Labs of Columbia-SC

We offer the full range of panel drug tests, from a standard 5-Panel Drug Test up through a 22-panel screen. Each tier adds substance classes so you can match the panel to your specific requirement.

Available panels include the 5, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22-panel drug tests.

  • 5-Panel Drug Test: Screens for cocaine, marijuana, amphetamines, opiates, and PCP. This is the standard configuration for federally mandated DOT testing under 49 CFR Part 40.
  • 10-Panel Drug Test: Adds barbiturates, benzodiazepines, methadone, propoxyphene, and methaqualone to the 5-panel list. This panel is common in healthcare, transportation, and other safety-sensitive industries that need broader substance coverage.
  • 12-Panel Drug Test: Builds on the 10-panel by adding buprenorphine and oxycodone, making it a practical choice when prescription opioid monitoring is relevant.
  • Extended Panels (14 through 22-panel): Cover additional substances beyond the 12-panel baseline, including synthetic drugs and other emerging substances. These are often selected for court-ordered, probation, or specialty compliance programs.

Urine is the specimen type used for all panel screens and is the standard method for federally mandated testing under 49 CFR Part 40.
