No, a lab test can devoldge a percentage of concentration in a sample, and an over the counter only presents whether a substance is present or not. But they do that pretty well!!!

How accurate is a nine panle drug test?

A nine panel drug test may or may not be very accurate. The accuracy is directly related to the quality of the lab and/or sample for testing. "Nine Panel" refers to how many drugs(panels) the test is checking for. It seems to me that urine tests are less accurate than hair tests and hair tests less than blood tests. All three can show false positives, but only two can be tricked.

Is there an over the counter drug test?

no, lab test are more in depth. ********************************************************************** There are two kinds of urines tests, one called an EMIT test, which is like the pregnancy test (which you can buy to test yourself at home) and there is a GC/MS test which is only preformed at a lab. Si it is possible that they do an EMIT test, which would have the same results as if you did an at home test, but like the person who commented before, if it is a lab test, the cut-off is usually alot lower. EX: THC Emit Test = 50ng GC/MS test = 15ng Hope this helps!
