7-Panel Urine Drug Test
The 7- Panel Urine Drug Test is a robust lab-based screening option that checks for seven of the most commonly misused substances: THC, cocaine, opiates, PCP, amphetamines, barbiturates, and benzodiazepines. It’s ideal for employers who need a deeper level of screening beyond the standard 5-panel, especially when prescription drug misuse is a concern.
Urine collection is non-invasive and performed at one of our 30,000+ partner labs across the U.S., with full digital scheduling and chain-of-custody tracking. All results are reviewed by a Medical Review Officer (MRO) to ensure consistency, compliance, and legal defensibility.
