5, 10, and 12 Panel Tests

Each panel type focuses on a specific group of commonly screened substances. Understanding the differences can make it easier to select the test that fits your situation. Our collectors will review your requirements at check-in and confirm the panel before collection starts.

5 Panel Testing

A 5-panel drug test usually covers a core group of widely monitored substances. Many basic employment and compliance programs rely on this level of screening for roles that are not considered highly safety sensitive. It can be a practical choice when a straightforward overview of recent use is required.

Some employers use this option for entry-level positions or ongoing random testing where their written policy calls for a standard panel. If your paperwork simply lists “5 panel,” we can explain what it includes and verify that this is what your requesting organization expects.

10 Panel Testing

When more detail is needed, a 10-panel drug test adds additional prescription and other substances to the core group. This panel gives a broader picture of potential use and is often requested for positions with more responsibility or where there is a higher focus on safety.

Employers may select 10-panel testing for supervisors, drivers who are not under federal regulations, or staff who work around valuable property or equipment. Our team can walk you through which categories are included and how this panel compares to other options.

12 Panel Testing

A 12-panel drug test usually builds on the 10-panel by including two more types of substances that many programs want to monitor. This panel can be appropriate for more strict workplace policies or for some court-related testing when a broader review is requested.

People come to us with directions from attorneys, probation offices, or treatment programs that specify 12-panel screening. We review those directions with you and make sure the panel we perform matches what is written, so you do not risk needing a repeat test.

In addition to these standard panels, we can often include a wider range of up to 22 substances if your employer or agency requires something more tailored. If you have questions about adding or adjusting items, we can talk through the options that fit your program or order.

What To Expect At Your Visit

Fast and Friendly Check-In

Knowing what will happen at your appointment can help reduce stress. When you arrive at our Gilroy location, you will check in at the front desk, present a valid photo ID, and share any paperwork or electronic instructions you have received. We then confirm the panel and collection method with you.

Sample Collection in a Clean, Private Area

Most visits follow a simple pattern. After a short wait in our clean lobby, a certified collector brings you to a private collection area. For urine testing, the collector explains the procedure, secures the collection room, and walks you through each step. For oral fluid testing, they place the collection device and monitor the process, respectively.

Once the specimen is collected, we label and seal it and complete the necessary chain of custody documentation. This careful handling helps support the integrity of the sample and the acceptance of results by employers, courts, and agencies that request testing.

Results Delivery

Screening results for many panel tests are available quickly, often the same day, depending on the method and panel type. If a result is non-negative, meaning the initial screen indicates the possible presence of a substance, we typically send the sample to a laboratory for confirmation using more advanced analysis. A medical review officer usually reviews confirmed non-negative results before they are reported, which helps support accuracy and context.

We take confidentiality seriously. Results are shared only with the person or organization authorized to receive them, such as an employer, probation officer, or the individual tested, based on the instructions we are given at the time of collection.

Panel Drug Testing Solutions For Employers

Drug Testing Program Support

Businesses rely on consistent, convenient drug testing to support safer workplaces and reduce risk. We work with employers in Gilroy and nearby communities to create testing programs that are practical for both management and employees, from simple pre-employment screens to more complex random and post-accident testing.

Our team can help you choose the right mix of 5, 10, and 12-panel tests based on your written policy and the types of roles you need to fill. We discuss which positions are safety sensitive, how often you plan to test, and what your industry norms are, then suggest a structure that fits those needs.

On-Site Testing Availability

For some businesses, on-site or mobile testing can reduce downtime by allowing groups of employees to be tested at your location. When these services are available, we coordinate timing, collection logistics, and documentation so the process is as smooth as possible while still following strict collection procedures.

DOT Drug Testing Panel

We also support companies that must follow Department of Transportation regulations. While those rules set specific standards for testing, many employers combine DOT testing with separate non-DOT panels for other staff, and we can help you manage both within a single, organized program.
