It depends on the job or the assholery level of the employer/tester.

Tests are measured in “panels” typically, so an 10-panel test will test for 10 different types of drugs.

Here’s a listing for a 16-panel test which is fairly excessive from my experience:

* AMP – Amphetamines 500 ng/ml
* BAR – Barbiturates 300 ng/ml
* BUP – Buprenorphine 10 ng/ml
* BZO – Benzodiazepines 300 ng/ml
* COC – Cocaine 150 ng/ml
* EDDP – Methadone Metabolite 300 ng/mL
* ETG – Ethyl Glucuronide 500 ng/ml
* FEN – Fentanyl 25 ng/ml
* K2 – Synthetic Marijuana 25 ng/ml
* MDMA – Ecstasy 500 ng/ml
* MET – Methamphetamines 500 ng/ml
* OPI / MOP – Morphine / Opiates 300 ng/ml
* OXY – Oxycodone 100 ng/ml
* PCP – Phencyclidine 25 ng/ml
* THC – Cannabinoid (Marijuana) 50 ng/ml
* TRA – Tramadol 100 ng/ml
