Urine Drug Test Panels Available in Lancaster

A “panel” refers to the number of drug classes screened in a single test. A 5-panel urinalysis covers five substance categories; higher panel counts add additional drug classes. At our Lancaster location, we offer 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel urine drug tests. Through the broader FastestLabs network, panels extend up to 22-panel for organizations with more extensive screening needs.

Custom drug testing options are available for businesses or organizations with requirements that fall outside standard panel configurations. If you’re not sure which panel fits your situation, our team can help you identify the right option.

Employers managing Department of Transportation compliance should note that DOT drug testing must follow the specific requirements in 49 CFR Part 40, including processing at a SAMHSA-certified laboratory and review by a medical review officer (MRO). Urine remains the only specimen type compliant for DOT testing in practice. While federal rules now also authorize oral fluid as an alternative, no laboratories have received SAMHSA certification for oral fluid DOT testing, making urine the required option for regulated employers today. We offer DOT urine drug testing for employees in safety-sensitive positions, including commercial truck drivers. Employers can also build broader programs around urine testing for pre-employment screening, random drug testing, for-cause testing, and post-accident testing.

How Urine Drug Testing Works at FastestLabs of Lancaster

The process is straightforward. When you arrive, our team verifies your photo identification and reviews any paperwork from an employer, school, or court. We confirm the panel requested and note any special instructions before collection begins.

A certified professional collector then explains the collection procedure and escorts you to the collection area. The sample is collected in a tamper-proof setting, after which the specimen is secured and chain-of-custody documentation is completed. That documentation tracks the specimen from collection through laboratory analysis, preserving its integrity at every step.

Before you leave, our team explains how and when results will be shared and who is authorized to receive them. Negative results may be available the same day. Non-negative samples are sent to a laboratory for confirmation. Specimen validity testing can also detect substances used to mask or adulterate a sample; when detected, the test is considered adulterated and handled accordingly.

Substances Urine Drug Testing Can Detect

Urine drug testing detects drugs and their metabolites that remain present in the body after ingestion. Detection windows vary by substance and frequency of use; most drugs are detectable for a few days, though some can remain detectable for several weeks with heavy or chronic use. That range makes urinalysis particularly well-suited for random employer drug testing programs.

Depending on the panel selected, urinalysis testing can screen for cocaine, marijuana, amphetamines, opiates, PCP, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine, MDMA, methadone, buprenorphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, tramadol, synthetic cannabinoids such as K2, and more. The 5-panel urinalysis covers the five most common street drug classes. Expanded panels add prescription drug categories, including a broader range of opioids. Given opioid trends across Pennsylvania and Lancaster County, higher-panel tests may be increasingly relevant for both employers and court-ordered testing programs.

Pennsylvania Drug Testing Law: What Employers Should Know

Pennsylvania doesn’t require employers to conduct drug testing, but employers may voluntarily implement drug testing programs. A properly administered positive urine drug test can support an employer’s intoxication defense in a workers’ compensation claim and may affect an employee’s eligibility for unemployment compensation. To use these protections, employers generally need to follow detailed program rules and maintain a written drug-free workplace policy.

Pennsylvania law also authorizes medical marijuana use for certain qualifying conditions. Employers generally face limitations on adverse actions based solely on an individual’s certified medical marijuana patient status, though employers in safety-sensitive roles should consult legal counsel before taking action, as the law doesn’t include an express safety-sensitive exception. Regardless, employers are strongly encouraged to maintain a written policy that expressly addresses marijuana use in the workplace.
