Hair Follicle Drug Testing (Up to 90-Day Drug Use History)
Hair Follicle Testing for drugs is the one of the only ways to get an in depth assessment of up to 90 days in the past to determine if someone has been using drugs. This is a great test for an employer or parent, and the test result is forensically defensible for legal purposes.
Hair collection sampling is simple and the results are highly accurate, meeting the same reference standards as urine testing. In addition, there are no known method for sample adulteration. Because specimen collection is directly observed, the risk of adulteration is even further reduced.
We get the results back to you quicker: Negative results are reported within 48 hours of receipt at the laboratory, and positive results are confirmed using GC/MS or GC/MS/MS within 72 hours.
When compared with urine specimen testing, hair testing provides up to 2.5 times the number of positives and a longer detection window. Hair testing can test for the following classes of drugs:
