Interesting question: I've never thought about that question when dealing with drug screens because to my knowledge they are strictly QUALITATIVE and not QUANTITATIVE. in other words, an employer only really cares if a substance is detectable or not. The police are more interested in HOW MUCH when it comes to Alcohol, weed, cocaine and so forth because the amount of jail time tends to go up with increasing quantities.

UT Screen: If its only oxycodone - then the only way is to compare the actual levels in the urine screen. we expect higher levels with the higher dose. However there variables which have to be taken into account.

Drug tests: A urine drug test can only detect the presence of the drug, it cannot determine the dosage. Why are you asking? Be honest with your doctor, he or she is on your side.
