Cannabis used? THC from blood Private
The THC blood test is a reliable way to determine recent or long-term cannabis use. The test accurately measures levels of THC, THC metabolites and other cannabinoids in the blood. Ideal for anyone wishing to gain insight into the extent and duration of cannabis use.
This blood test consists of:
- THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)
- 11-OH-THC
- THC-COOH (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid)
This test uses Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). This is a highly sensitive method that identifies and quantifies both active substances and degradation products in the blood.
What you need to know about THC and cannabinoids:
- THC: The active ingredient in cannabis responsible for the psychoactive effect. THC is largely stored in fatty tissue and slowly released into the blood.
- THC-COOH: The main breakdown product of THC used to confirm cannabis use.
- Detectability: With occasional use, THC is detectable 1-3 days after use. With regular use, this can extend to 2 weeks or even 2 months, depending on frequency and amount of fatty tissue.
The detection limits of this test are as follows:
- THC lower than <1.0 μg/L
- 11-OH-THC lower than <1.0 μg/L
- THC-COOH lower than <5.0 μg/L
Factors affecting demonstrability:
- Half-life: The time required to halve the concentration of THC in the blood varies from several hours to several days.
- Adipose tissue: THC is stored in fat cells and released slowly, prolonging detection time.
- Pattern of use: The more often and more you use, the longer THC remains detectable.
Cannabis (hashish or marijuana) remains in the body the longest of all drugs. In the blood, cannabis is detectable for 2 to 7 days, depending on the pattern of use. With sporadic use, it is undetectable after a few days, while with daily use over a longer period, the detection time increases significantly.
This test will give you an accurate picture of the use and presence of THC and its breakdown products in your blood. Order your THC blood test today and find out the results.
