14 Panel Urine Drug Test Cup with EtG

Urinalysis is often performed in the case where drug or alcohol misuse is suspected and when law enforcement needs to ascertain the types of drugs a person may have consumed.

Types of Drugs the 14-drug test cup screens for

In the case of a 14 Panel Urine Drug Test – drug screening test, the 14-panel drug test cup is used to detect the presence of certain drugs in a person’s urine, such as:

• Amphetamine
• Barbiturate
• Buprenorphine
• Benzodiazepine
• Cocaine
• Methamphetamine
• Ecstasy
• Morphine
• Methadone
• Oxycodone
• Phencyclidine
• ETG
• Fentanyl
• Marijuana

Focusing on Fentanyl and Alcohol

Since marijuana is not illegal in most places anymore, many test kits focus primarily on the two bigger ‘sinners’ these days being alcohol (mostly in the case of drinking and driving or even in sports) and for Fentanyl, a drug that has hit most countries where it hurts most; its young people and potential future leaders, rendering them either dead or impaired for life in many cases.

NCDAS Statistics show deaths due to Fentanyl misuse

According to drug abuse statistics released by the NCDAS (National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics) in the USA, the recreational drug toxicity of Fentanyl was shown to be at the top of the analysis chart at 25%, while alcohol was charted at ten percent, next to the drug, dextromethorphan, and marijuana came in last at 0.099 percent.

Furthermore, 52.7 percent of all overdose deaths in the country involved Fentanyl, according to the NCDAS site, which mentioned that it was lower, but still knocking close to 50 percent, at 47 percent from March 2018 to February 2019.

Fentanyl is also used to treat chronic diseases that cause pain, such as cancer and thus it is important for patients to disclose their medical history when being stopped and tested for the misuse of alcohol or narcotics.

In these situations, the 14-panel urine drug test cup is touted as being one of the best in the market for pinpointing the presence of Fentanyl in human urine, among others it is designed to detect.

Testing for alcohol

In the case of testing for alcohol, this 14 Panel Urine Drug Test – rapid test cup is often used in situations where a court has ordered EtG testing to prove sobriety, or the lack thereof, in motor vehicle incidences such accidents or being stopped while driving recklessly. Thus, the rapid test cup can easily detect the recent consumption of alcohol as the Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG), being a direct metabolite of alcohol, can still be detected in the urine up to eighty hours after the complete elimination of alcohol from the body.

The process of urinalysis testing

Doctors who are hired by law enforcement to test for drugs or alcohol using the 14 Panel Urine Drug Test would conduct a urinalysis to examine the appearance of the person’s urine with regard to the concentration and the content. If an unusual result is visible from the urinalysis, further testing is required and could lead to specific conclusions pertaining to the person’s state of health, diagnosis of a medical condition and screening for drugs or alcohol.
