We are doing a new drug test provided by a company that allows us to collect the urine in a cup and the ending result is testing for 12 different drug types. However, 3 of the results are amphitamines. So, my question is should we be using 80101 x 9 since 3 of the 12 are amphetamines and one of the results is for a synthetic opioid?

My thinking was that when they talk about identifying single drug classes, that amphetamines is a single drug class, and even though the test may show separately for meth, cocaine, and pcp they are still representing 1 drug class. Is that correct?

Any thoughts about this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
