What Does a 10-Panel Drug Test Test For?
Our 10-panel urine test checks one sample for ten drug groups:
marijuana (THC), cocaine, amphetamines, opiates (codeine, morphine, and heroin), PCP, oxycodone, MDMA (ecstasy), benzodiazepines (like Xanax and Valium), barbiturates, and methadone.That covers the most common street drugs plus several prescription medications that are often misused.
That wider coverage is why employers in healthcare and safety-sensitive jobs, courts, and recovery programs often ask for a
10-panel instead of a basic test. It doesn't include fentanyl, alcohol, tramadol, or Suboxone, but each of those can be checked with the right add-on or a larger panel.
What's the Difference Between a 5-Panel and 10-Panel Drug Test?
A 5-panel checks for the five drugs on most basic tests: marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates, and PCP.
It's the standard for many pre-employment screens. A 10-panel covers those same drugs and adds oxxycodone, MDMA, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and methadone, so it catches prescription painkillers and sedatives a 5-panel would miss.
If your employer, court, or program names a panel on your paperwork, book that one. If nothing is specified, a 5-panel works for most jobs, and the 10-panel is the better choice when prescription drug use is a concern.

Urine or Hair: Which 10-Panel Drug Test Do I Need?
We offer both, and the right one depends on how far back your employer, court, or program needs to look.
A 10-panel urine test is the most common. It shows drug use from roughly the last one to four days, and our rapid screen gives you an answer in about 15 minutes. Every urine sample is collected under chain-of-custody procedures, checked for temperature and tampering, and sealed in front of you, so the result holds up if anyone questions it.
A 10-panel hair test looks back about 90 days, because drugs stay trapped in the hair as it grows. That longer window is why employers and family courts often choose hair when they want to see a pattern instead of a single moment.
The tradeoff is timing: use from roughly the last week won't show in hair yet, and results take 3 to 5 business days from a certified lab instead of minutes.
Still not sure? If your paperwork just says "10-panel," it almost always means urine. If it says "hair follicle," choose the hair test. And if a urine result ever needs a closer look, it can be confirmed at the lab and reviewed by a medical review officer for valid prescriptions.
Instant or Lab-Based 10-Panel: What's the Difference?
An instant 10-panel is read right here in our lab while you wait.
The test cup shows whether each drug is present above a set cutoff, so you get a clear negative or "needs a closer look" in about 15 minutes. It's the fastest, most affordable option, and it's what most pre-employment checks and personal tests need. Because it's a screening test, any non-negative result can be sent to the lab for confirmation before it's treated as final.
A lab-based 10-panel goes one step further. Your sample is sealed under chain of custody and sent to a [SAMHSA-certified] laboratory, where instruments called LC-MS/MS identify the exact substance and measure how much is present.
Courts, monitoring programs, and some employers require that measured result, because it's far more precise than a yes-or-no screen. Lab results are posted to your secure patient portal in about 24 to 48 hours.
Does a 10-Panel Drug Test Test for Alcohol?
No. Alcohol isn't one of the ten drug groups, so a standard 10-panel won't show drinking.
Alcohol leaves your body much faster than most drugs, so it needs its own test.
If your employer or court wants both, we offer a 10-panel + EtG urine test , an alcohol marker that shows drinking from about the last 3 days, all from the same sample. For proof of sobriety over several weeks, a PEth blood test looks back 2 to 4 weeks.

Common Questions
How long does a 10-panel drug test take? The visit takes about 15 minutes, and rapid results are ready in about 15 minutes. If a result is sent to the lab for confirmation, it usually takes 24 to 48 hours.
Is a 10-panel drug test a DOT test? No. The 10-panel is a non-DOT test. DOT testing uses a federal 5-panel, which we also offer.
Can a 10-panel drug test detect tramadol? No. Tramadol doesn't show up on standard opiate screens and needs its own test. Ask us at check-in if your paperwork requires it.
