What are Drug Cut Off Levels?

The cut off levels are a drug testing concept that refers to that point under which a drug test called negative and above which a drug test is called positive. For drug screening, the cut-off determined at a point that will optimize drug detection while maintaining minimum false-positive results.

It important to emphasize at this point that a negative result does not mean that a sample drug-free. Only that the level of concentration of any substance that it may contain below the defined cut-off. In a drug test, a negative result defined as a specimen that does not indicate a level of drugs at, or above, the specified concentration of a drug.

That specified concentration used called the cut-off level. A specimen that contains drugs at or above the determined cut-off level is positive.
