A 9 panel drug test is a urine test that screens for the presence of nine common drugs of abuse in human urine samples. The test is used by employers who want a more comprehensive drug test than the standard 5-panel test. The 9-panel drug test detects the presence of the following drugs:

• Amphetamines
• Barbiturates
• Benzodiazepines
• Cocaine
• Methadone
• Marijuana (THC)
• Oxycodone
• Oxymorphone
• Phencyclidine (PCP)

The test is non-invasive, painless, and has a high level of accuracy. The detection period of drugs is usually about the same for most people, and the presence of metabolites in the urine is a reliable indication that the patient has recently been exposed to the drugs tested. The 9-panel drug test is more comprehensive than the one required by the Department of Transportation for DOT drug testing, and it is used by employers, hiring managers, and human resource professionals who are not required to follow DOT regulations. The test is cost-effective, comprehensive, and detects many of the drugs that are commonly abused today.
