- 10-panel urine drug testing
- Expanded drug-testing panels
- Hair drug testing
- Nail drug testing

What Type of Drug Test Do Employers Use?
There isn't one universal pre-employment drug test for every employer.
Employers may select different specimen types and testing panels based on their company policy, industry, position, or applicable regulatory requirements.
Urine drug testing is commonly used for workplace screening and is available in multiple panel configurations.
Bluestar also offers hair, nail, and oral fluid testing when a different specimen type or detection window is required.
5-Panel vs. 10-Panel Pre-Employment Drug Testing
A 5-panel drug test screens for a standard group of commonly tested drug classes.
A 10-panel drug test screens for additional drug classes and may be selected by employers that require a broader screening panel.
The correct test depends on the employer's requirements. Job applicants should confirm the requested panel before selecting a test.
DOT vs. Non-DOT Pre-Employment Drug Testing
DOT and non-DOT drug tests are not interchangeable.
Employees performing certain DOT-regulated safety-sensitive duties may be required to complete drug testing that follows federal DOT procedures.
A non-DOT pre-employment drug test follows the employer's workplace testing requirements rather than the federal DOT testing program.
If your paperwork specifically requests a DOT drug test, select Bluestar's DOT Drug Testing service rather than a standard non-DOT employment test.
How Long Do Pre-Employment Drug Test Results Take?
Turnaround time depends on the type of test ordered, specimen collected, laboratory processing, and whether additional confirmation or review is required.
Some testing options may provide rapid results, while laboratory-based testing generally requires additional processing time.
If you have an employment deadline, let our team know when scheduling so you can select an appropriate testing option.
