You have to set up the panel with your lab. In my experience all of our 9 panels look for propoxyphene--but it was set up that way. None of ours look for oxycodone. Oxycodone has to be included as a special add on to the panel. I have companies looking at adding it--especially given how it is currently being abused. Check with your lab as to what is included in your panel and, if needed, add the drugs you want to look for. Be sure the drug testing policy for the company involved allows testing for anything you add. If the policy only allows for a 5 panel that is all you can test for. If it calls for a 9 panel that does not include Oxycodone then you cannot test for it until the policy reflects that. I agree with Dr S. there is no set 9 panel. A company can order a panel for whatever they want as long as the policy allows for it. We recently had a company order a 4 panel. They don't want to test for THC!!! The exception is a Federal (DOT) panel that is set by Federal law as to what can be tested.
