1. A ten-panel test, includes prescription drugs that are legal to possess and use. Can also test for blood alcohol, along with illegal drugs. Although each drug and person is different, most drugs will stay in the system for 2-4 days. For chronic users of certain drugs, such a marijuana or PCP, results can be detected for up to 14 days, and sometimes much longer. Sedatives, such as Valium, may stay in the system for up to 30 days. When the more expensive hair testing method is used, drugs can be detected for a 90-day period. To avoid the complications from "second hand" marijuana smoke, most labs will set a higher threshold before reporting THC in the system.
2. A 10 panel blood drug test tests for Cocaine, Amphetamines, Metamphetamines, tetrahydrocannadinol(THC), Methadone, Opiates, Phencyclidine(PCP), Barbiturates, Benzodiazepines and Tricyclic Antidepressants. Marijuana takes the longest to get out of your system. If you are heavy and have a lot of fat on your body it will take longer to clean out. If you are thin it will not take as long as a heavy person but if you are a heavy user it can take as long as 30 days to get out of your system. All of the other drugs listed are normally out of your system in 3-5 days depending on how much you used.
3. A 10 panel test simply tests for 10 different specific drug metabolites. Almost every drug out there is water soluble and its metabolites are excreted in water or urine. This process takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 72 hours. The fat soluble drugs (mainly just THC) can take substantially longer. It varies from person to person.
