10- Panel DOT Like
A 10-panel DOT Like drug test is a comprehensive drug screen that follows the rigorous procedures of a Department of Transportation (DOT) test but is used for non-DOT-regulated purposes The difference is that a standard DOT test only screens for a 5-panel of drugs, while a 10-panel expands on that list. It's very popular for employers, individuals and probation drug testing. This ten-panel drug test is screening and confirming for both illicit drugs and illicit use of prescription drugs.
