Hair 5 Panel Drug Test

When compared to other forms of testing, hair samples can detect a much longer period of drug use. For example, urinalysis can only detect most drugs within 2-3 days of use. After this period, a donor may be free of the drug, test negative and slip through the screening process. By comparison, hair testing can detect drug use for approximately 90 days of history. This is important in pre-employment testing where most candidates are aware that a drug test might be required and can otherwise abstain accordingly. Hair is cut from the head or from the arms or legs if you don’t have enough hair on your head. Hair follicle drug testing is used in workplace testing, legal and forensic testing, medical testing, and for measuring the patterns of illegal and prescription drug use.
