Why Choose Our Panel Testing
When you schedule a test, you’re often balancing work, family, and strict timelines. Our process is built around that reality. We aim to keep wait times under five minutes, and many visitors are in and out before they’ve had a chance to settle in.
Our certified collectors follow procedures that produce valid, defensible results. Employers, attorneys, and program officers can trust that the right person was tested and that the sample was handled according to accepted standards.
We use proven methods and up-to-date equipment, which supports both speed and accuracy. Negative results are typically reported very fast, and you or your designated contact is notified according to the instructions provided at check-in.
Cost matters, especially for small businesses and individuals paying out of pocket. We keep our pricing competitive without sacrificing a clean facility or attentive service.
For companies in the area, we go beyond one-time screens. We support random testing schedules, post-accident collections, and ongoing drug-free workplace programs, so you’re not managing everything alone.
Our Drug Test Panel Options
Different organizations require different levels of screening, and it isn’t always obvious which option applies to your situation. We make it easier by reviewing your order and matching it to the correct panel before collection begins.
A panel test groups several substances into a single screen, giving employers or courts a broader picture of use over a defined period. The lookback window depends on the collection method. We offer several common panels, plus options for more customized testing when needed.
Standard Panel Configurations
5-Panel Test
The 5-panel drug test is the standard for basic employment and many safety-sensitive roles. It typically screens for THC, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, and PCP, covering the substance classes most commonly referenced in workplace policies.
10-Panel Test
Some employers and agencies in Kansas City prefer a broader screen and request a 10-panel drug test. This builds on the 5-panel by adding benzodiazepines, barbiturates, methadone, propoxyphene, and methaqualone, making it a common choice for safety-sensitive industries and some court monitoring programs. Panel configurations can vary by lab, and some providers substitute one of these substances with oxycodone. Our team can confirm the exact substances included before collection begins.
12-Panel Test
When a more thorough screen is required, a 12-panel drug test typically extends the 10-panel by adding oxycodone and MDMA. This option is often chosen for stricter workplace policies or court-related situations where broader monitoring is appropriate.
Extended Panels & Custom Additions
Beyond the standard panels, we can often include additional substances based on your written order:
- Prescription medications that are frequently misused
- Certain synthetic or designer drugs when requested
- Expanded panels (14, 16, 18, and 22-panel) for programs requiring the broadest possible coverage
Our team reviews any paperwork you bring and confirms which panel matches your requirements so you’re not left guessing. Note that DOT-regulated positions require a specific lab-based 5-panel under federal guidelines rather than a higher panel count. Our collectors can confirm the correct panel for your situation before collection begins.
Testing Methods & Result Timing
Check-In
When you arrive at our North Kansas City facility, you’ll check in at the front desk, provide identification, and share any forms from an employer, court, or program coordinator. Knowing what to expect removes a lot of stress, and we walk you through it from the start.
Sample Collection
Our collectors guide you through the collection process in a private area. We offer urine, hair, saliva, and fingernail testing for drug test panels. The method depends on your order, how far back the test needs to look, and what your employer or agency allows.
Urine testing is common for employment and court screens and typically looks back one to seven days for most substances, though THC may be detectable longer with heavy use. Hair testing can provide a detection window of up to approximately 90 days, which is useful when a longer history is relevant. Saliva testing generally reflects recent use, typically within a few hours to 48 hours for most substances. Fingernail testing may extend the detection window to approximately three to six months. We explain what’s being collected before we begin so there are no surprises.
Results Timing & Delivery
For most negative results, reporting is typically very fast. Urine and saliva tests often return same-day results; hair and nail tests generally take 24 to 48 hours. We review expected timelines with you so you know when your employer, court officer, or program manager is likely to receive documentation.
If a result is non-negative, the sample goes to a laboratory for confirmatory testing. A qualified medical professional reviews those confirmed results, particularly if you report valid prescriptions, before any final reporting is completed.
Throughout the process, we maintain chain of custody documentation and secure specimen handling to protect both the person being tested and the organization relying on the results.
Panel Testing for Work & Court
Many visitors come to us because a new job or ongoing employment in Kansas City depends on timely screening. We regularly handle pre-employment testing, random workplace programs, post-accident collections, and return-to-duty testing across a range of industries.
Our panel options support written drug-free workplace policies, including those for safety-sensitive positions in transportation, manufacturing, and field services. We can also help companies set up or refine a policy, and we offer mobile collections for on-site testing when reducing employee downtime is a priority.
Court-ordered and probation-related testing often follows specific schedules and reporting requirements. We work with individuals presenting orders from judges, probation officers, or family law attorneys and follow the collection and documentation directions provided so results can be useful to the decision-makers.
Schools and training programs in the area may also require drug screening for enrollment or ongoing participation. Our flexible scheduling and clear procedures help students and trainees complete requirements without missing more class time or hours than necessary.
In every situation, our team matches the requested test type and panel level to the order you provide, reducing the chance of a mismatch that would require repeat testing.
