An A–Z glossary of common screening terms

Drug testing devices often display abbreviated panel names rather than full drug names. This quick-reference glossary explains common drug test abbreviations (such as AMP, BZO, and OPI) and includes select adulterant panel markers that may appear on some products. Abbreviations and panel configurations can vary by manufacturer and test type, so always confirm the exact panel and cutoff information on the product listing or package insert. If you need help selecting a panel for your program, contact our team for guidance.
