Panel Options at Fastest Labs

Choosing the right panel starts with knowing what each one screens for. Here’s a breakdown of our most common configurations:

  • 5-Panel Drug Test: Screens for cocaine, marijuana, amphetamine, opiates, and PCP. The standard for pre-employment screening and DOT-regulated federal testing.
  • 10-Panel Drug Test: Includes the drugs included in the 5 Panel Drug Test plus barbiturates, benzodiazepine, methamphetamine, ecstasy/MDMA, and methadone. Often used when prescription drug misuse is a concern.
  • 12-Panel Drug Test: Includes the drugs included in the 10 Panel Drug Test, as well as buprenorphine and oxycodone, adding coverage for common opioid prescriptions.

We also offer custom panel screening and extended configurations at 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22 panels for court-ordered testing and program needs. Additional testable substances beyond the 12-panel include methaqualone, propoxyphene, nicotine, K2 synthetic marijuana, tramadol, tricyclic-antidepressants (TCA), fentanyl, and bath salts.

Collection Methods

We accept urinalysis, hair test, fingernail test, or saliva test samples for panel drug testing. Urine is the most common collection method and is required for DOT-regulated testing. Urine tests are well suited for detecting recent drug use, while hair testing can extend the detection window up to 90 days. Saliva testing works well when detection of very recent use is the priority. The right method depends on your purpose, your industry, or what the requesting party specifies. Most visits are completed in 15 minutes.

Who Uses Panel Drug Tests in Englewood

We serve a wide range of clients, from individuals fulfilling a court order or probation requirement to small businesses running pre-employment or random testing programs. DOT-regulated employers in transportation and other safety-sensitive industries must follow federal drug testing requirements under 49 CFR Part 40, regardless of Colorado’s state marijuana laws. Colorado private employers have broad flexibility to set their own workplace drug testing policies, including policies that cover cannabis, since the state has no statewide drug testing statute. Because cannabis law and workplace policy considerations continue to evolve, we recommend consulting an HR or legal professional when building your program.

For employers who need more than a single test, we can help create and implement a drug testing program from the ground up, including policy development and ongoing program management.

How to Choose the Right Drug Test Panel

The panel you need is usually determined by whoever is requesting the test. If your employer, court, or probation officer has specified a panel number, that’s your answer. If you’re choosing on your own, here’s a quick guide:

  • 5-Panel: The most widely used panel for pre-employment screening and the standard for DOT-regulated federal drug testing.
  • 10-Panel: A good fit when prescription drug misuse is a concern, such as in law enforcement, healthcare, or post-accident situations.
  • 12-Panel: Adds buprenorphine and oxycodone coverage, making it relevant when opioid prescription monitoring is part of the objective.

Colorado employers have no statutory requirement to use a specific panel. The choice is driven by workplace policy, industry, and the substances of concern. If you’re not sure which panel fits your situation, our team can help you figure it out.

What a Drug Test Panel Actually Screens For

A drug panel is a defined set of drug classes tested in a single screening. The panel number tells you how many substance categories are covered. Higher panel counts add substance classes, often including prescription medications that carry a risk of misuse. Collection method affects detection windows: urine tests are cost-effective and DOT-authorized, typically detecting recent use within several days; hair testing can extend that window to approximately 90 days.

Colorado Drug Testing Law: What Englewood Employers Need to Know

Colorado has no statewide drug testing statute, which gives Englewood employers broad flexibility in designing their own policies covering panel type, testing occasions, and consequences. Employers may test for all substances, including cannabis, and Colorado law can allow employers to maintain zero-tolerance workplace policies depending on the role and circumstances. Because this area involves nuance and evolving guidance, we recommend consulting an HR or legal professional when building your policy.

DOT-regulated employers, including those in transportation, aviation, and commercial driving, must follow federal drug testing requirements under 49 CFR Part 40 regardless of state law. A written drug testing policy provided to employees is also important for defending your program in unemployment compensation challenges.

Accuracy & Chain-of-Custody Assurance

Every FasTest panel drug test we conduct follows strict chain-of-custody protocols. Our certified collectors document each step from specimen collection through laboratory analysis, helping keep results legally defensible for employment, court, or DOT proceedings. Non-negative results are confirmed in a GC/MS accredited laboratory before any final result is issued.

All non-negative results are then reviewed by a certified medical review officer (MRO). The MRO may reach out to the donor directly to verify whether a legitimate prescription could explain the result. Only after that review is a final result reported. This two-step confirmation process helps keep results defensible and fair.
