12 panel drug tests are widely used across the United States for workplace screening, occupational health programs, healthcare facilities, rehabilitation centers, schools, correctional institutions, and government agencies. Whether you need a single case or truckload quantities, 12 Panel Now offers more than 350 professional drug testing configurations with dependable inventory, manufacturer-direct pricing, and fast nationwide fulfillment.
As the manufacturer of Serenity® drug testing products, we provide urine drug test cups, oral fluid tests, urine dip cards, and customized testing solutions designed to meet the operational needs of distributors, laboratories, employers, and healthcare organizations. Our wholesale program also supports private labeling, drop shipping, and scalable 3PL fulfillment for businesses that require reliable long-term supply. Every 12 panel drug test we make comes in both compliance versions, so buyers choose the right one for their setting: Choose from more than 15 million products in stock, including over 350 drug test cup configurations ranging from 5-panel to 28-panel tests. We also manufacture more than 60 pen-style oral swab variations, 60 multi-panel urine dip card options, and over 50 single-panel drug test strips, giving buyers one of the industry's most comprehensive selections of professional drug testing products.A Forensic Use Only (FUO) 12 panel drug test is designed for non-diagnostic drug screening programs where results are used for employment, legal, correctional, probation, rehabilitation, or other administrative purposes rather than medical diagnosis. FUO devices provide rapid preliminary screening results using the same immunoassay technology found in professional drug testing products but are not FDA approved for clinical diagnostic use.
Many organizations choose FUO configurations because they support workplace drug testing, pre-employment screening, random testing, post-accident programs, correctional facilities, probation departments, rehabilitation centers, and other professional screening environments where a clinical diagnosis is not required.
FUO vs. CLIA-Waived Drug Tests
| CLIA-Waived | Forensic Use Only (FUO) |
|---|---|
| FDA Approved for clinical diagnostic use | Intended for non-diagnostic screening |
| Requires a CLIA Certificate of Waiver when used in qualifying healthcare settings | Does not require CLIA certification because it is not intended for clinical diagnosis |
| Suitable for physician offices, clinics, and healthcare facilities performing waived testing | Commonly used for workplace, legal, correctional, probation, rehabilitation, and administrative testing programs |
Choosing the correct version depends on how the test results will be used. Healthcare providers performing patient testing under CLIA regulations should select a CLIA-waived configuration, while organizations conducting non-diagnostic screening programs typically use Forensic Use Only devices. Every 12 Panel Now product clearly identifies its regulatory classification to help buyers select the appropriate configuration before ordering.
Note: All rapid drug tests are preliminary screening devices. Any presumptive positive result that will be used for employment, legal, clinical, or other significant decisions should be confirmed by a certified laboratory using GC-MS or LC-MS/MS, following your organization's policies and applicable regulations.
A CLIA-waived 12 panel drug test is designed for point-of-care drug screening in eligible healthcare settings where testing is performed outside a traditional laboratory. A CLIA waiver means the test has been determined to be simple to use with a low risk of incorrect results when performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Healthcare providers conducting waived testing must obtain a CLIA Certificate of Waiver from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
FDA approved (often referred to as FDA 510(k) cleared) means the device has been reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and found substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device for its intended use. This provides healthcare organizations with confidence that the device meets applicable regulatory requirements for its cleared application.
CLIA-waived 12 panel drug tests are commonly used by:
- Physician offices
- Occupational health clinics
- Urgent care centers
- Hospitals
- Rehabilitation and addiction treatment programs
- Other healthcare facilities performing point-of-care drug screening
Every CLIA-waived product offered by 12 Panel Now clearly identifies its regulatory status, allowing buyers to select the appropriate device for their testing program. If you're unsure whether your organization requires a CLIA-waived or Forensic Use Only configuration, our team can help you choose the correct option before placing your order.
A 12 panel drug test screens for 12 different drug classes using a single urine drug test cup, dip card, or oral fluid swab. Every standard 12 panel configuration includes the SAMHSA-5 drug classes—amphetamine, cocaine, marijuana (THC), opiates, and phencyclidine (PCP)—along with additional drugs commonly included in professional workplace, healthcare, rehabilitation, and forensic drug screening programs.
One of the biggest misconceptions is that every 12 panel drug test detects the same substances. There is no universal 12 panel drug test list. Two products labeled as a "12 panel drug test" may screen for different drugs because the twelfth panel is often customized for specific workplace policies, clinical requirements, or forensic testing programs. Always review the analyte list on the product page before ordering rather than relying solely on the panel count.
Standard 12 Panel Drug Test List
The following drug classes appear on most professional 12 panel drug tests sold in the United States, with one variable panel that differs by product configuration.
| Abbreviation | Drug Class | Typical Cutoff (ng/mL) | Commonly Detects |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMP | Amphetamine | 1000 | Adderall®, Dexedrine®, Vyvanse® |
| BAR | Barbiturates | 300 | Phenobarbital, Secobarbital, Butalbital |
| BUP | Buprenorphine | 10 | Suboxone®, Subutex®, Sublocade® |
| BZO | Benzodiazepines | 300 | Xanax®, Valium®, Klonopin®, Ativan® |
| COC | Cocaine | 300 | Benzoylecgonine (Cocaine Metabolite) |
| MDMA | Ecstasy | 500 | Molly, MDA, MDEA |
| MET | Methamphetamine | 1000 | Crystal Meth, Desoxyn® |
| MTD | Methadone | 300 | Dolophine®, Methadose® |
| OPI / MOP | Opiates | 300 or 2000 | Heroin, Morphine, Codeine |
| OXY | Oxycodone | 100 | OxyContin®, Percocet®, Roxicodone® |
| THC | Marijuana | 50 | Cannabis, Hashish, Marinol® |
| Variable Panel | Depends on Configuration | Varies | Fentanyl (FEN), EtG Alcohol, PCP, K2, TCA, Tramadol (TRA), Kratom (KRA) |
Why the Twelfth Panel Varies
The final panel is selected to meet the needs of different testing programs. Depending on the device you choose, it may screen for fentanyl (FEN), EtG alcohol, synthetic cannabinoids (K2/Spice), tricyclic antidepressants (TCA), tramadol (TRA), kratom (KRA), PCP, or other analytes. This flexibility allows employers, healthcare providers, rehabilitation centers, correctional facilities, and government agencies to select the configuration that best matches their drug testing requirements.
Understanding Cutoff Levels
Cutoff concentrations determine whether a screening result is reported as negative or presumptive positive. For example, opiates are commonly available with 300 ng/mL and 2000 ng/mL cutoff levels. A 300 ng/mL cutoff is more sensitive and may detect lower concentrations of opiates, while a 2000 ng/mL cutoff aligns with federal workplace testing standards and is designed to reduce positives from dietary sources such as poppy seeds. Choosing the appropriate cutoff level helps ensure your testing program matches your organization's policies and regulatory requirements.

SM-CDOA-6125 | The Classic PCP Configuration
Detects: AMP/1000, BAR/300, BUP/10, BZO/300, COC/300, MDMA/500, MET/1000, MTD/300, OPI/300, OXY/100, PCP/25, THC/50 This is the reference 12 panel, the SAMHSA-5 plus seven. Because it carries PCP, it is the configuration most often specified when an employer's drug policy was originally drafted around federal testing language, which makes it the default for pre-employment screening programs. Available as the 120ml SM-CDOA-6125 from $1.49 or the 90ml SM-CDOA-6125-90 from $1.29. The dip-card equivalent is SM-DOA-6125.SM-CDOA-7125 | TCA for Behavioural Health
Detects: AMP/1000, BAR/300, BUP/10, BZO/300, COC/300, MDMA/500, MET/1000, MTD/300, OPI/300, OXY/100, TCA/1000, THC/50 Swaps PCP for tricyclic antidepressants. Used in psychiatric and behavioural-health settings where TCA adherence and overdose risk are more clinically relevant than PCP exposure. Also useful in geriatric and pain populations where TCAs are commonly prescribed. View SM-CDOA-7125 from $1.49. For TCA alongside gabapentin, step up to a 14 panel cup.SM-CDOA-3125 | K2 and Synthetic Cannabinoids
Detects: AMP/1000, BAR/300, BUP/10, BZO/300, COC/300, K2/50, MDMA/500, MET/1000, MTD/300, OPI/300, OXY/100, THC/50 K2 does not trigger the THC strip. Synthetic cannabinoids are structurally unrelated to delta-9-THC and require their own antibody entirely. This is why corrections, probation, and residential treatment programs specify a K2 configuration. Synthetic cannabinoids such as K2 are not detected by standard THC panels, which is why many correctional facilities, probation departments, and treatment programs choose dedicated K2 configurations. Available as the 120ml SM-CDOA-3125-FUO from $1.49 or the 90ml SM-CDOA-3125-FUO-90 with OPI/300 from $1.29. To add ketamine alongside K2, see our 16 panel cups.SM-CDOA-9125 & 4125 Families | ETG Alcohol + Fentanyl
Detects (9125): AMP/1000, BUP/10, BZO/300, COC/300, ETG/300, FEN/20, MDMA/500, MET/1000, MTD/300, OPI/300, OXY/100, THC/50 Detects (4125): AMP/1000, BAR/300, BZO/300, COC/300, ETG/300, FEN/20, MDMA/500, MET/1000, MTD/300, OPI/300, OXY/100, THC/50 + PH/SG/CR The fastest-growing line in the catalog, and the only 12 panel configuration covering both alcohol and fentanyl. ETG detects the alcohol metabolite ethyl glucuronide for up to 80 hours, meaning a Monday-morning test catches Saturday-night drinking, which a breathalyzer cannot. FEN at 20 ng/mL covers both pharmaceutical and illicit fentanyl, making this family the standard choice for MAT and opioid treatment programs. The 4125 family trades BUP for BAR and ships with PH/SG/CR validity checks as standard. Choose it when specimen integrity is a live concern in your population.- SM-CDOA-9125-90, 90ml, adds PCP/25, from $1.29
- SM-CDOA-9125AD3-FUO, 120ml with adulterant checks, from $1.49
- SM-CDOA-9125AD3-FUO-90, 90ml with adulterant checks, from $1.29
- SM-CDOA-4125EFAD3-FUO, 120ml, BAR + adulterants, from $1.49
- SM-CDOA-4125EFAD3-FUO-90, 90ml, OPI/300 + adulterants, from $1.29
SM-CDOA-9125EFK-FUO | The Emerging-Substance Cup
Detects: AMP/1000, BUP/10, BZO/300, COC/300, ETG/300, FEN/20, K2/50, KRA/500, MET/1000, OPI/300, OXY/100, THC/50 Four variable analytes simultaneously: kratom, K2, ETG, and fentanyl. This is the widest emerging-substance coverage available in a twelve-strip format, and it exists because programs kept reporting clean 12 panels on donors who were visibly impaired. If your population uses kratom or synthetic cannabinoids, a standard panel is functionally blind. View SM-CDOA-9125EFK-FUO from $1.49. For harm reduction and street-supply surveillance, step up to 22 and 28 panel cups.A 12 panel oral fluid drug test (also called a 12 panel saliva drug test or oral swab drug test) screens for twelve drug classes using a saliva sample collected directly from the donor's mouth. Unlike urine drug testing, oral fluid testing detects recent drug use, making it the preferred choice for post-accident investigations, reasonable suspicion testing, roadside screening, workplace safety programs, and other situations where current impairment is more important than historical drug use.
Serenity® 12 Panel Oral Fluid Drug Tests are manufactured by 12 Panel Now and provide fast, observed sample collection with results in approximately 10 minutes. Because the collection process is directly observed, oral fluid testing greatly reduces the opportunity for specimen substitution, dilution, or adulteration while simplifying collection in workplaces, healthcare facilities, schools, correctional institutions, and field testing environments.
Why Choose a 12 Panel Oral Fluid Drug Test?
Oral fluid testing and urine testing answer different questions.
- Urine drug tests identify drug use that occurred over the previous several days, depending on the substance.
- Oral fluid drug tests are designed to detect recent drug exposure, typically within 12 to 48 hours, providing a closer indication of current drug use than urine testing.
Because many drugs remain in saliva for a shorter period than urine, oral fluid testing is widely used when recent consumption is more important than long detection windows.
When Is an Oral Fluid Drug Test Better Than Urine?
A 12 panel saliva drug test is often the preferred option for:
- Post-accident workplace investigations
- Reasonable suspicion drug testing
- Random workplace drug screening
- Roadside and mobile collections
- Construction sites and remote job locations
- Schools and university testing programs
- Correctional facilities
- Rehabilitation and addiction treatment programs
- Situations where restroom access is unavailable
- Donors unable to provide a urine sample ("shy bladder")
Because collection is directly observed, oral fluid testing also minimizes specimen substitution and other common attempts to tamper with the testing process.
Compare All Serenity® 12 Panel Oral Fluid Configurations
| SKU | Configuration | Key Features | THC | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SMSPD-3126F-EUO | Fentanyl + THC | Fentanyl, PCP | ✔ | $1.49 |
| SMSPD-3126A-EUO | Alcohol + THC | Alcohol, PCP | ✔ | $1.39 |
| SMSPD-4126AFK-EUO | K2 + Alcohol + Fentanyl | K2, Alcohol, Fentanyl | ✘ | $1.39 |
| SMSPD-7126AF-FUO | Alcohol + Fentanyl (No THC) | Alcohol, Fentanyl, MDMA | ✘ | $1.39 |
Fentanyl + THC Configuration (SMSPD-3126F-EUO)
Detects: AMP • BAR • BUP • BZO • COC • FEN • MET • MTD • OPI • OXY • PCP • THC
This configuration combines traditional workplace drug screening with dedicated fentanyl detection while retaining THC screening for organizations that include cannabis in their drug testing policy. Because oral fluid primarily detects recent drug use, the THC panel is particularly useful for programs focused on identifying recent cannabis exposure rather than historical use.
Alcohol + THC Pen (SMSPD-3126A-EUO)
Detects: Standard 12-panel configuration plus Alcohol and THC.
Unlike urine EtG alcohol tests, which detect alcohol metabolites from previous drinking episodes, saliva alcohol testing is designed to identify current alcohol exposure. This makes the device well suited for post-accident investigations, reasonable suspicion testing, return-to-duty programs, and other situations where immediate impairment is the primary concern.
K2, Alcohol & Fentanyl Configuration (SMSPD-4126AFK-EUO)
Detects: K2 • Alcohol • Fentanyl • Standard drug panel
This configuration replaces THC with synthetic cannabinoid (K2) screening while adding alcohol and fentanyl detection. It is particularly valuable for organizations operating in jurisdictions where recreational cannabis is legal but synthetic cannabinoids, fentanyl, and alcohol remain significant workplace safety concerns.
Alcohol + Fentanyl (No THC) Configuration (SMSPD-7126AF-FUO)
Detects: Alcohol • Fentanyl • MDMA • Standard drug panel
Designed for employers that do not include THC in their workplace drug testing policy, this configuration reallocates the cannabis panel to additional substances that may be more relevant to organizational safety programs and regulatory requirements.
Choosing THC or No-THC Configurations
Many employers now operate in states where workplace cannabis laws have changed. Depending on your organization's drug testing policy and applicable state regulations, a No-THC configuration may be more appropriate than traditional cannabis screening.
Rather than screening for marijuana, these configurations use the available panel to detect substances such as fentanyl, alcohol, K2, or MDMA, allowing organizations to focus on drugs that remain actionable within their testing program. Employers should always review applicable federal, state, and local regulations before selecting a testing configuration.
How to Use a 12 Panel Oral Fluid Drug Test
- Ensure the donor has not consumed food, beverages, tobacco, or chewing gum for at least 10 minutes before collection.
- Place the collection pad inside the donor's mouth and move it between the cheeks and beneath the tongue until fully saturated.
- Wait approximately 3–5 minutes, or until the saturation indicator confirms adequate sample collection.
- Insert the saturated collection pad into the testing device.
- Allow the device to develop on a flat surface.
- Read results after 10 minutes.
- Do not interpret results after the recommended reading window.
A visible test line indicates a negative result for that drug class. The absence of a test line indicates a presumptive positive that should be confirmed by a certified laboratory using GC-MS or LC-MS/MS before making employment, medical, or legal decisions.

A 12 panel drug test dip card provides fast, professional screening for 12 drug classes using a separately collected urine specimen. It delivers the same rapid immunoassay screening technology used in many 12 panel drug test cups, while offering a lower per-test cost for organizations that already supply specimen collection containers. Serenity® 12 Panel Drug Test Dip Cards are manufactured by 12 Panel Now and are trusted by employers, occupational health providers, laboratories, rehabilitation centers, correctional facilities, staffing agencies, and government organizations for reliable workplace and clinical drug screening.
Unlike integrated drug test cups, dip cards require a separate urine collection cup before testing. This simple design reduces storage space, lowers shipping costs, and makes dip cards an economical choice for high-volume screening programs. Multiple configurations are available, including standard workplace panels, fentanyl testing, EtG alcohol detection, tramadol screening, and specimen validity testing (SVT).
12 Panel Drug Test Dip Card vs Drug Test Cup
Both formats use the same immunoassay screening technology and provide preliminary drug screening results in approximately 5 minutes, but they are designed for different workflows.
| Feature | 12 Panel Dip Card | 12 Panel Drug Test Cup |
|---|---|---|
| Test Device | Separate dip card | Integrated collection cup |
| Urine Collection | Separate specimen cup required | Built-in specimen collection |
| Temperature Verification | Depends on collection container | Built-in temperature strip |
| Specimen Validity Testing | Available on selected models | Available on selected models |
| Typical Starting Price | From $1.19 | From $1.29 |
| Best For | High-volume screening programs | Chain of custody and professional collections |
Choose a dip card if you already purchase specimen containers in bulk, need lower per-test costs, or conduct large numbers of routine drug screens. Choose a drug test cup when integrated specimen collection, built-in temperature monitoring, or simplified chain-of-custody procedures are priorities.
Who Should Use 12 Panel Drug Test Dip Cards?
Professional dip cards are commonly used by:
- Employers conducting workplace drug testing
- Occupational health clinics
- Healthcare facilities
- Clinical laboratories
- Rehabilitation and addiction treatment centers
- Staffing agencies
- Schools and universities
- Correctional facilities and probation programs
- Government organizations

Detects: AMP • BAR • BUP • BZO • COC • MDMA • MET • MTD • OPI • OXY • PCP • THC
This configuration mirrors the popular Serenity® 12 Panel Drug Test Cup and is ideal for standard workplace drug testing programs requiring the traditional PCP panel. Organizations already using the cup version can transition to dip cards while maintaining the same drug panel and cutoff levels at a lower per-test cost.
Fentanyl + Specimen Validity Configuration (SM-DOA-8125AD3-FUO)
Detects: Standard 12-panel configuration plus Fentanyl (FEN) and Specimen Validity Testing (pH, Specific Gravity, Creatinine).
This configuration combines fentanyl screening with integrated specimen validity testing to help identify diluted or adulterated urine samples. It is commonly selected by correctional facilities, rehabilitation centers, probation departments, and healthcare programs where specimen integrity is an important part of the testing process.
Fentanyl + EtG Alcohol + Tramadol Configuration (SM-DOA-8125AD3)
Detects: Standard drug panel plus Fentanyl, EtG Alcohol, Tramadol, and Specimen Validity Testing.
Designed for medication-assisted treatment (MAT), pain management, and addiction recovery programs, this configuration expands beyond traditional drug screening by detecting alcohol metabolites (EtG), fentanyl, and tramadol. Because tramadol does not consistently trigger a standard opiate test strip, a dedicated tramadol panel improves screening accuracy for programs monitoring prescription medication compliance.
How to Use a 12 Panel Drug Test Dip Card
- Collect urine in a clean specimen container.
- Allow both the specimen and dip card to reach room temperature (59°F–86°F / 15°C–30°C).
- Remove the protective cap from the dip card.
- Dip the absorbent strips into the urine sample for 10–15 seconds without passing the MAX line.
- Remove the card, replace the cap, and place it on a clean, flat surface.
- Read results after 5 minutes.
- Do not interpret results after 10 minutes, as evaporation may affect the test lines.
A visible line at the test region indicates a negative result for that drug class, while the absence of a test line indicates a presumptive positive that should be confirmed by a certified laboratory using GC-MS or LC-MS/MS before making employment, clinical, or legal decisions.

Which 12 Panel Drug Test Should You Choose? Cup vs Dip Card vs Oral Fluid
Choosing the right 12 panel drug test depends on how your organization collects specimens, the substances you need to detect, your testing environment, and whether samples may require laboratory confirmation. While all three testing formats screen for similar drug classes, each offers different advantages for workplace drug testing, healthcare, rehabilitation, corrections, and government screening programs.
| Feature | 12 Panel Cup | 12 Panel Dip Card | 12 Panel Oral Fluid Test |
|---|---|---|---|
| Specimen | Urine | Urine | Oral Fluid |
| Starting Price | $1.29 | $1.19 | $1.39 |
| Collection Container | Included | Required | Not Required |
| Detection Window | 2–7+ Days | 2–7+ Days | 12–48 Hours |
| Results | ~5 Minutes | ~5 Minutes | ~10 Minutes |
| Temperature Verification | Built In | Depends on Container | Not Applicable |
| Adulteration Risk | Low | Moderate | Very Low |
| Restroom Required | Yes | Yes | No |
| Direct Observation | Limited | Limited | Easy |
| Laboratory Confirmation | Same Device | Transfer Required | Transfer Required |
| Best For | Workplace & Chain of Custody | High-Volume Screening | Recent Drug Use |
12 Panel Drug Test Cup
A 12 panel drug test cup combines specimen collection, temperature verification, drug screening, and sample storage in one sealed device. Because collection and testing occur in the same container, cups simplify workflow while reducing handling errors and contamination.
This format is commonly selected for:
- Workplace drug testing
- Pre-employment screening
- DOT-style collection procedures
- Occupational health programs
- Laboratory confirmation testing
- Chain-of-custody collections
For organizations that may need to send specimens to a laboratory, urine cups provide the simplest and most secure collection process.
Best choice: Maximum compliance, specimen integrity, and professional collections.
12 Panel Dip Card
A 12 panel dip card uses the same urine drug testing technology but requires a separate specimen cup for collection. Because the testing device itself costs less, dip cards are a popular option for organizations performing large numbers of routine drug tests.
Dip cards are well suited for:
- High-volume workplace screening
- Rehabilitation programs
- Staffing agencies
- Schools
- In-house occupational health testing
- Budget-conscious screening programs
Organizations that already purchase collection containers separately often find dip cards to be the most economical solution.
Best choice: Lowest equipment cost for large-scale testing.
12 Panel Oral Fluid Drug Test
A 12 panel oral fluid drug test uses saliva instead of urine to detect recent drug use. Collection is performed under direct observation without requiring restroom facilities, making oral fluid testing ideal when specimen integrity and immediate collection are priorities.
Oral fluid testing is commonly used for:
- Post-accident investigations
- Reasonable suspicion testing
- Roadside screening
- Construction sites
- Mobile testing programs
- Government field operations
- Safety-sensitive workplaces
Because oral fluid detects more recent drug use than urine, it is often preferred when employers need information about possible current impairment rather than historical drug use.
Best choice: Recent-use detection with simplified collection.
Which 12 Panel Format Fits Your Program?
| Your situation | Recommended format | Suggested SKU |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-employment screening | Cup | SM-CDOA-6125 |
| Post-accident / reasonable suspicion | Saliva pen with alcohol | SMSPD-3126A-EUO |
| MAT / opioid treatment program | Cup with ETG + FEN | SM-CDOA-9125AD3-FUO |
| Corrections / probation | Cup with K2 | SM-CDOA-3125-FUO |
| High-volume budget screening | Dip card | SM-DOA-6125 |
| Legal-cannabis state employer | Saliva, no THC | SMSPD-7126AF-FUO |
| Behavioural health / psychiatric | Cup with TCA | SM-CDOA-7125 |
| Kratom / emerging substances | Cup, 4 variable analytes | SM-CDOA-9125EFK-FUO |
| Specimen validity concerns | Cup with PH/SG/CR | SM-CDOA-4125EFAD3-FUO |
| Pain management / tramadol | Dip with TRA | SM-DOA-8125AD3 |
| Field / mobile collection | Saliva swab | SMSPD-3126F-EUO |
How to Choose the Right 12 Panel Drug Test
Consider the following before selecting a testing format:
- Detection window – Urine detects drug use over several days, while oral fluid focuses on recent drug exposure.
- Testing environment – Field collections often benefit from oral fluid testing because no restroom is required.
- Collection workflow – Integrated urine cups simplify collection and reduce specimen handling.
- Testing volume – Dip cards provide lower per-test costs for organizations conducting large numbers of screenings.
- Regulatory requirements – Healthcare organizations may require CLIA-waived devices, while forensic programs often use Forensic Use Only (FUO) configurations.
Choosing the appropriate testing format helps improve collection efficiency, reduce specimen errors, and ensure your drug testing program aligns with workplace policies and regulatory requirements.

▶ Watch: Inside the 12 Panel Drug Testing CupIn everyday use, “12 panel drug test” and “12 panel drug screen” mean the same cup. The real distinction is between the screen and a confirmation:
- › Screen = the instant cup result (presumptive) in ~5 minutes
- › Confirmation = a lab re-tests a non-negative sample by GC-MS / LC-MS
- › Use the screen for fast, on-site decisions; confirm positives that carry legal or employment consequences
Both terms point to the same 12 panel cup. More in our Drug Screening FAQ.
▶ Watch: How the 12 Panel Test WorksBoth. 12 Panel Now manufactures the Serenity® cup in two compliance versions so you can order exactly what your program allows:
- › CLIA-waived / FDA-cleared — for diagnostic, workplace and clinical use
- › Forensic Use Only (FUO) — for probation, law enforcement, rehab and non-diagnostic testing
- › FUO versions can carry expanded panels (FEN, EtG, K2, KRA) not offered in CLIA-waived configurations
Each product page is clearly labeled. Learn the difference in What Is a CLIA-Waived Test?
▶ Watch: 12 Panel Now OverviewA standard 12 panel drug test covers the twelve core drug classes below — the baseline most workplaces, clinics and courts require:
- › Amphetamines (AMP), Methamphetamine (MET), MDMA/Ecstasy
- › Cocaine (COC), Marijuana/THC, Phencyclidine (PCP)
- › Opiates (OPI), Oxycodone (OXY), Buprenorphine (BUP), Methadone (MTD)
- › Benzodiazepines (BZO), Barbiturates (BAR)
Every kit is fully self-contained: a leak-proof urine cup, built-in temperature strip and result label no extra supplies needed. Need more coverage? Add FEN, EtG or K2, or step up to a 13–28 panel drug test cup.
▶ Watch: How to Use the 12 Panel CupA 12 panel urine drug test detects most substances for 2 to 4 days after use, with cannabis extending to 30 days in chronic users and ETG alcohol reaching 80 hours. A 12 panel saliva test detects 12 to 48 hours. Detection windows vary with dose, frequency, metabolism, body composition, and hydration.
| Substance | Urine detection window | Saliva detection window |
|---|---|---|
| Amphetamine (AMP) | 1–3 days | 12–48 hours |
| Barbiturates (BAR) | 2–15 days | 12–48 hours |
| Buprenorphine (BUP) | 3–6 days | 12–48 hours |
| Benzodiazepines (BZO) | 3–7 days (30+ chronic) | 12–48 hours |
| Cocaine (COC) | 2–4 days | 12–24 hours |
| MDMA / Ecstasy | 2–4 days | 12–24 hours |
| Methamphetamine (MET) | 2–5 days | 12–48 hours |
| Methadone (MTD) | 3–7 days | 12–48 hours |
| Opiates (OPI/MOP) | 2–4 days | 12–36 hours |
| Oxycodone (OXY) | 2–4 days | 12–36 hours |
| PCP | 3–8 days (30 chronic) | 12–48 hours |
| THC — occasional use | 3–7 days | 12–24 hours |
| THC — chronic daily use | up to 30 days | 12–24 hours |
| Fentanyl (FEN) | 1–3 days | 12–24 hours |
| Alcohol — ETG metabolite | up to 80 hours | n/a |
| Alcohol — saliva ALC | n/a | 6–12 hours |
| K2 / synthetic cannabinoids | 2–3 days | 12–24 hours |
| Kratom (KRA) | 3–7 days | n/a |
| Tramadol (TRA) | 2–4 days | n/a |
| Tricyclics (TCA) | 2–7 days | n/a |
Why THC is the outlier.
THC is fat-soluble and accumulates in adipose tissue, releasing slowly over weeks. A daily user can test positive up to 30 days after stopping, while a first-time user may clear in 2 to 3 days. No other analyte on a 12 panel behaves this way, and it is the single largest source of disputed results.
These are screening-level estimates intended for program planning. They are not clinical or forensic determinations, and no detection window should be presented as evidence of when a substance was used.
Note: Detection windows are general estimates provided for educational purposes only and vary by individual. They do not guarantee when a substance will or will not be detected.
A standard 12 panel drug test does not include alcohol. To screen for alcohol, choose a cup that adds EtG (ethyl glucuronide) — such as the 12 Panel Cup with EtG.
- › Base 12-panel = no alcohol panel
- › EtG detects alcohol use for up to 80 hours — far longer than a breathalyzer
- › Also available as a single ETG alcohol test strip or dip card

▶ 12 Panel Now on YouTubeA standard 12 panel drug test screens urine for the following 12 substances. Each has an established cutoff level (in nanograms per milliliter) — the concentration at or above which the result is reported as positive:
| Drug | Abbrev. | Cutoff (ng/mL) |
|---|---|---|
| Amphetamines | AMP | 500 |
| Barbiturates | BAR | 300 |
| Benzodiazepines | BZO | 300 |
| Buprenorphine | BUP | 10 |
| Cocaine | COC | 150 |
| Methamphetamine | MET | 500 |
| MDMA (Ecstasy) | MDMA | 500 |
| Methadone | MTD | 300 |
| Opiates | OPI | 300 |
| Oxycodone | OXY | 100 |
| Phencyclidine | PCP | 25 |
| Marijuana | THC | 50 |
Note: Cutoff values above are the common industry configuration — confirm each against the Serenity® spec sheet, since some panels use different levels (e.g., AMP/MET 1000, COC 300).
- › AMP 1000 · BAR 300 · BZO 300 · BUP 10
- › COC 300 · MET 1000 · MDMA 500 · MTD 300
- › OPI 300 · OXY 100 · PCP 25 · THC 50

▶ Watch: How to Read a 12 Panel Drug TestA 12 panel drug test screens for the twelve most commonly abused prescription and illicit drugs, making it the standard choice for workplace testing, healthcare providers, rehabilitation centers, schools, and pre-employment screening. It delivers broad drug coverage while keeping costs lower than higher-panel tests.
14 panel, 16 panel, and higher panel drug tests include everything found in a 12 panel test, plus additional substances such as EtG (alcohol), fentanyl, ketamine, kratom, K2/spice, psilocybin, xylazine, or other specialty drugs, depending on the device configuration. These expanded panels are typically selected by pain management clinics, law enforcement, correctional facilities, probation programs, and organizations with stricter testing requirements.
| Panel | Best For | Typical Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| 12 Panel | Workplace, healthcare, schools, home testing | Most commonly abused drugs |
| 14 Panel | Enhanced workplace & clinical screening | 12 panel + additional drugs (varies by model) |
| 16 Panel | Pain management & rehabilitation | More prescription and synthetic drugs |
| 18–22+ Panel | High-risk and forensic testing | Broadest drug detection with specialty panels |
If your organization only needs to identify the most common drugs of abuse, a 12 panel drug test offers the best balance of affordability, speed, and comprehensive screening. If your testing program requires detection of emerging drugs or alcohol biomarkers, a higher-panel configuration may be the better choice.

Different drugs affect the body differently.
Meth, for example, can cause rotting of the teeth or what's more commonly known as "meth mouth." Aya-huasca, on the other hand, can increase heart rate and blood pressure. This substance can also cause a burning sensation in the stomach. Meanwhile, GHB lowers body temperature and can cause seizures, coma, death. For more information, read here: Commonly Abused Drugs Different drugs leave the body at different times. Benzos, for example, stay in the body and can be detected for up to 10 days. THC, on the other hand, is detectable by urine and blood tests for up to 30 days. However, the effect of illicit drugs on the body is determined by several factors. Detection windows vary by drug, dosage, metabolism, body composition, and frequency of use. Most drugs remain detectable in urine for approximately 1 to 7 days, while chronic marijuana use may be detectable for several weeks. A 12 panel drug test cannot determine exactly when a drug was taken—only whether it is present above the cutoff level.12 Panel Now is a family-owned business that cares about you and your organization.

No. Kava does not normally appear on a standard 12 panel drug test because its active compounds, called kavalactones, are not included in routine workplace drug screening.
Why doesn't kava show up?
Kava is a plant-based supplement made from the roots of Piper methysticum. Unlike opioids, amphetamines, cocaine, THC, or benzodiazepines, its active ingredients have a completely different chemical structure.
Key points
- Standard 12 panel tests do not screen for kava.
- Kava is not a federally scheduled drug in the United States.
- Routine employment drug tests are not designed to detect kavalactones.
- Detecting kava requires specialized laboratory testing, which is rarely ordered.
Can kava cause a false positive?
Modern laboratory confirmation methods make false positives uncommon. While isolated reports exist with older immunoassays, confirmation testing such as GC-MS or LC-MS/MS generally rules out incorrect results.
Usually no. Ritalin (methylphenidate) and Focalin (dexmethylphenidate) are not included on most standard 12 panel drug tests. Although both medications are prescribed to treat Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), they are chemically different from amphetamines and typically do not trigger the amphetamine screening panel.
Why don't they appear on a standard 12 panel drug test?
Most workplace drug tests are designed to detect drugs with a high potential for misuse that are commonly required by employers, courts, and treatment programs.
Ritalin and Focalin belong to the methylphenidate class rather than the amphetamine class, so standard immunoassay drug screens generally do not identify them.
Key facts
- Ritalin = methylphenidate
- Focalin = dexmethylphenidate
- Neither medication is usually included in a routine 12 panel drug screen.
- They generally do not cause a positive amphetamine result because of their different chemical structure.
- A laboratory can detect methylphenidate if a specific methylphenidate assay is ordered.
When could they be tested?
Healthcare providers, substance use treatment programs, or forensic laboratories may order specialized testing when monitoring prescription compliance or suspected misuse. A standard 12 panel drug test does not normally detect Ritalin or Focalin. Detecting either medication requires a dedicated laboratory test specifically designed for methylphenidate.
No. Testosterone and most anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are not included in a standard 12 panel drug test.
Routine workplace drug testing focuses on recreational and commonly misused prescription drugs rather than performance-enhancing substances.
Drugs that are NOT typically included
- Testosterone
- Anavar (Oxandrolone)
- Dianabol (Methandrostenolone)
- Winstrol (Stanozolol)
- Deca-Durabolin (Nandrolone)
- Trenbolone
- Primobolan
- Equipoise
How are steroids tested?
Testing for anabolic steroids usually requires:
- Blood testing
- Urine testing using GC-MS or LC-MS/MS
- Hormone ratio analysis
- Sports anti-doping laboratory testing
Professional sports organizations and anti-doping agencies often use these specialized methods because standard workplace drug screens are not designed to detect anabolic steroids.
Most of these medications do not appear on a standard 12 panel drug test. Routine drug screens only test for specific drugs and drug classes, so many commonly prescribed medications are excluded.
Medication overview
| Medication | Usually detected on a standard 12 panel? |
|---|---|
| Ambien (zolpidem) | ❌ No |
| Trazodone | ❌ No |
| Hydroxyzine | ❌ No |
| Baclofen | ❌ No |
| Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) | ❌ No |
| Soma (carisoprodol) | Usually No* |
| Promethazine | ❌ No |
| Viagra (sildenafil) | ❌ No |
| Modafinil | ❌ No |
*Some expanded laboratory panels may detect carisoprodol or its metabolite meprobamate.
Why aren't these medications included?
A standard 12 panel drug test focuses on drugs commonly required for:
- Pre-employment testing
- Random workplace screening
- Court-ordered drug testing
- Substance use treatment monitoring
Prescription medications outside those categories generally require individual laboratory assays.
Most of these medications will not appear on a standard 12 panel drug test. If testing is required, a healthcare provider or employer must request a specific laboratory analysis.
Yes. Most standard 12 panel drug tests include MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine), commonly known as Molly or Ecstasy.
Why is MDMA included?
MDMA is one of the substances frequently screened during:
- Workplace drug testing
- Pre-employment screening
- Probation testing
- Rehabilitation programs
- Forensic drug testing
Detection depends on
- Amount used
- Frequency of use
- Individual metabolism
- Hydration
- Kidney function
- Laboratory cutoff levels
Approximate urine detection window
- Occasional use: 1–3 days
- Heavy or repeated use: up to 4 days
Detection times vary from person to person.
What happens after a positive screen?
Positive immunoassay results are commonly confirmed using:
- Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)
- Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
These methods help distinguish true positives from false positives. If your 12 panel drug test includes MDMA, recent Molly or Ecstasy use can produce a positive result.
No. LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) is not included on most standard 12 panel drug tests.
Why isn't LSD included?
LSD is active in extremely small doses and requires highly specialized laboratory techniques for accurate detection. Routine workplace drug tests are designed to identify more commonly abused substances such as THC, cocaine, amphetamines, opioids, and benzodiazepines.
Important facts
- Standard 12 panel tests do not screen for LSD.
- Specialized laboratory testing is required.
- Detection usually requires advanced analytical methods.
- LSD testing is uncommon in routine employment screening.
A standard 12 panel drug test will not normally detect LSD unless a separate LSD test has been specifically ordered.
No. Kratom is not typically included in a standard 12 panel drug test.
The plant contains two primary active alkaloids:
- Mitragynine
- 7-Hydroxymitragynine
These compounds are not part of routine workplace drug screening panels.
Can kratom be detected?
Yes—but only if the laboratory specifically tests for it.
Specialized testing may be ordered by:
- Pain management clinics
- Drug rehabilitation programs
- Probation departments
- Forensic laboratories
Will kratom trigger an opioid test?
Generally no.
Although kratom interacts with opioid receptors, its chemical structure differs from morphine, codeine, heroin, and oxycodone. Most 12 panel drug tests do not detect kratom, but specialized laboratory assays can identify kratom metabolites when specifically requested.
No. Gabapentin is not included in most standard 12 panel drug tests.
Gabapentin is prescribed for:
- Seizures
- Neuropathic pain
- Postherpetic neuralgia
- Restless legs syndrome (in some cases)
Although concerns about misuse have increased, routine workplace drug screens generally do not include gabapentin.
When is gabapentin tested?
Specific gabapentin testing may be ordered for:
- Pain management
- Prescription monitoring
- Substance use treatment
- Forensic investigations
Important facts
- Not part of routine employment drug testing.
- Requires a dedicated laboratory assay.
- Expanded toxicology panels may include gabapentin.
A standard 12 panel drug test will not usually detect gabapentin, unless it is part of a customized or expanded testing panel.
Usually no. Tramadol is not detected by most standard 12 panel drug tests because it has a different chemical structure than traditional opiates. Although tramadol is an opioid analgesic, standard opiate immunoassays are primarily designed to detect drugs such as:
- Morphine
- Codeine
- Heroin metabolites
Tramadol often requires its own dedicated screening panel.
When can tramadol be detected?
A laboratory can identify tramadol when:
- A specific tramadol assay is ordered.
- An expanded drug testing panel includes tramadol.
- GC-MS or LC-MS/MS confirmation testing is performed.
Can tramadol cause a positive opioid test?
Generally no. However, test performance depends on the specific assay and cutoff values used by the laboratory. Positive screening results should always be confirmed with laboratory testing before making clinical, employment, or legal decisions.
A standard 12 panel drug test does not normally detect tramadol. If tramadol monitoring is needed, use a test panel or laboratory assay that specifically includes tramadol.
Usually no. Standard 12 panel drug tests do not detect Suboxone unless buprenorphine is included as a separate test panel. Suboxone contains buprenorphine and naloxone, and buprenorphine requires a dedicated assay because it is chemically different from traditional opioids such as morphine, codeine, or heroin. If an employer, healthcare provider, or treatment program needs to monitor Suboxone use, they should order a buprenorphine drug test or use a 13 panel, 14 panel, or customized drug test cup that specifically includes buprenorphine (BUP). Without a buprenorphine panel, a person taking Suboxone will generally receive a negative result for that medication on a standard 12 panel drug test.
