10 Panel Drug Test Cups & Dip Cards

What a 10-panel test covers

Ten panels extend the standard five with barbiturates, benzodiazepines, methadone, MDMA and either oxycodone or buprenorphine. Fourteen configurations means the analyte sets differ — two products both called 10-panel may not test for the same ten. Each product’s chart lists its own set with cutoffs.

Which ten you need

The variable positions are usually MDMA versus oxycodone, and buprenorphine versus propoxyphene. If your protocol names the substances rather than the count, match the chart. If it names only the count, the most commonly specified set is AMP, BAR, BZO, COC, mAMP, MDMA, MTD, OPI, phencyclidine (PCP) and THC.

Adulteration checks

Several configurations add creatinine, specific gravity and pH — the three-adulterant option. These detect a diluted or substituted sample rather than a substance, and they matter where collection is unobserved.

Regulatory status

All ten-panel cups and dip cards on this page are CLIA-waived, so test results are read at the point of care instead of waiting on an outside lab test, and they are usable for clinical decisions in a CLIA-waived setting. Of the three mouth swab tests, one is E&I Exempt and two are For Forensic Use Only.

Ordering

Cups are sold by the box of 25 tests. Dip cards are sold by the box of 25 cards. Mouth swab tests are sold by the box of 25 tests.

Who orders ten-panel screens

Ten-panel volume comes from programs whose policy was written by somebody other than the person buying: courts and probation departments, treatment programs working to a funder’s contract, and employers in regulated industries. The analyte list is usually set out in a document, and the purchasing job is to match it exactly rather than to choose. Where that document exists, bring it to the product page and check it line by line — a ten-panel from one supplier and a ten-panel from another are not automatically the same ten.

The cost of testing wider than the policy

Every analyte on the strip produces a result that has to be read, recorded and, if it is positive, acted on. Testing wider than a policy requires does not make a program safer; it produces findings the program has no agreed response to, and those findings still end up in a file. The right panel is the narrowest one that covers the policy, which is why the smaller counts are listed alongside this one rather than everyone being steered to the widest.

Comparing and ordering

Sit this page next to the 6-panel, 12-panel and 13-panel pages, or work from the whole range on drug test cups. The containers, transport bags and tubes that carry the samples are under specimen collection.
