22 Panel Drug Test Cups

22 Panel Drug Test Cups for Forensic Screening

A 22-panel drug test cup is the right pick only when its substances and cutoff values match what your program has to screen for. One configuration is listed here at the moment:

• 22 panel drug test: 22 drug panels plus 3 sample validity checks, Forensic Use Only

The product page shows the full panel list, cutoff values, labeling and intended use, so confirm those details there before you buy.

What a 22 Panel Drug Test Cup Does

A 22 panel drug test cup is a single device that holds the urine sample and runs the first screening step. Test strips built into the cup check the sample for 22 drugs or their metabolites, so the tester does not have to pour urine into a second device.

Three extra strips measure creatinine, pH and specific gravity. Sellers often list this format as a 22 panel multi-drug rapid test cup with adulterants, since the extra strips flag samples that may be diluted or tampered with. Every panel and its cutoff value is shown in the 22 panel drug test list that follows.

What to Check Before Choosing a 22 Panel Drug Test Cup

Panel count is only a starting point. Your program needs a 22-panel drug test cup whose substances, cutoffs, and labeling match your screening rules. Check these points first.

1. Substances on the Panel

Look for every substance your program screens for in the table above. A missing substance means this cup will not cover it, regardless of the number of panels. Other combinations are listed under 21 Panel Drug Test Cups and 24 Panel Drug Test Cups.

2. Cutoff Values

The cutoff is the lowest concentration of a drug or metabolite that makes the screen show a preliminary positive. Each substance on this cup has its own cutoff, such as:

• Fentanyl (FEN): 10 ng/mL
• Ethyl glucuronide (EtG): 300 ng/mL
• Xylazine (XYL): 1000 ng/mL

For background on how these values are set and compared, read our guide to drug test cutoff levels.

3. Labeling and Intended Use

This cup carries a Forensic Use Only label. Devices with that label are meant for drugs of abuse testing done for law enforcement purposes.

If your program must use CLIA-waived tests, browse our CLIA-Waived Drug Test Cups section and check the status listed on each product.

4. Order Size

Frequent testers pay less per test when they buy 22 panel drug test cups in larger quantities. Pricing steps down at every tier between 25 and 20,000+ cups.

Typical Forensic Use Only buyers include:

• Courts
• Jails, prisons and correction centers
• Police departments
• Juvenile detention centers
• Probation/parole offices
• Forensic laboratories that test for these agencies

Instant 22 Panel Drug Test Cup Results Are Preliminary

An instant 22 panel drug test cup gives a first screening result on site, with no need to ship the sample to a lab for that step. Wait at least 5 minutes before reading the strips.

Follow the instructions that come with the cup when you check the control (C) and test (T) lines. Our guide How to Read a Drug Test Cup covers negative, preliminary positive and invalid readings, including faint lines.

Depending on your program and the rules that apply to it, a preliminary non-negative result may need to be confirmed with a suitable laboratory method.

Cutoff Levels vs. Detection Windows

A cutoff level and a detection window measure different things. The detection window is roughly how long a drug or its metabolites can still be found in a urine sample after use.

That period is not fixed. It changes with:

• The substance itself
• How often it was used
• How much was used
• Individual metabolism
• Fluid intake
• The cutoff value of the test

Estimated windows for individual substances are listed on the Drug Detection Times page.

22 Panel Drug Test List

Below are the 22 substances screened by this 22 panel urine drug test cup, with each cutoff value in ng/mL. The creatinine, pH and specific gravity checks are not drug panels, so they are not part of this table.
