Accredited Drug Testing provides comprehensive hair follicle drug examinations in Kiblah, Arkansas. If a hair drug or alcohol assessment is required, Accredited Drug Testing excels in hair evaluations, hosting facilities across all cities Nationwide. A length of 1.5 to 2 inches of scalp or body hair may suffice generally. Hair assessments can screen for drugs, alcohol/ETG, or other tailored hair testing methods.
Increasingly, hair follicle drug testing is utilized over traditional methods. Employers, judicial bodies, and Substance Abuse experts now prefer hair drug exams to conventional urine tests. Hair tests are favored by organizations enforcing strict drug policies, legal systems, and those on probation. A hair follicle drug test offers an extended detection timeline of up to 90 days, collected under supervision, eliminating tampering. However, for recent 5-day detection, urinalysis remains superior.

Hair testing has been recognized as an effective means for identifying drug and alcohol consumption. It captures a lengthy record of substance use by embedding biomarkers within the fibers of the hair as it grows. When samples are taken near the scalp, hair can offer a detection period of up to three months for alcohol and drugs. Collecting hair is straightforward, somewhat resistant to tampering, and easy to transport.
A 1.5-inch section of approximately 200 hair strands (resembling the thickness of a #2 pencil) from near the scalp yields 100mg of hair, which is the optimal sample for screening and confirmation. For EtG, additional tests, and/or tests exceeding 10 panels, a 150mg sample is advisable. We suggest using a jeweler’s scale for weighing the specimen. If scalp hair cannot be collected, an equivalent amount of body hair can be used. The term head hair specifically refers to scalp hair, whereas body hair encompasses all other types (such as facial or axillary hair).
Process Overview
The laboratory processing of a drug test result involves four primary steps: Accessioning, Screening, Extraction, and Confirmation.
Accessioning is the act of incorporating a sample into the laboratory’s system. This step ensures the sample is properly sealed and shipped, assigns a unique LAN (Laboratory Accessioning Number), and completes any necessary data entry absent in the electronic chain of custody.
Screening serves as a preliminary check for the presence of drugs. Although it is an economical method to exclude drug use in most samples, a positive screening result must be confirmed for legal admissibility. Any samples that are presumptively positive in Screening necessitate confirmatory testing.
Should a sample test positive in the Screening phase, additional hair is extracted from the initial sample for Extraction. In this phase, drugs are extracted from hair at comparatively low concentrations compared to other methods (e.g., urine or saliva), making hair drug screening among the most complex methodologies to execute.
Positive results from Screening are confirmed using GC/MS, GC/MS/MS, or LC/MS/MS techniques. Presumptively positive samples undergo washing as required before confirmation. The entire lab process, from Accessioning to Confirmation, is scrutinized under both the CAP (College of American Pathologists) Hair designation and is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited.
Advantages of hair drug testing:
Limitations:
Note: Although termed "hair follicle tests", the analysis is conducted on the hair strand, not on the follicle beneath the scalp.

The joint meeting of the Society of Hair Testing (SoHT) and the Italian Group of Forensic Toxicologists (GTFI) was organized in Verona, June 8–10, 2022, and hosted by the Legal Medicine team of the Verona University Hospital, directed by Franco Tagliaro together with Federica Bortolotti and Rossella Gottardo.
It served as a prominent platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration, facilitating groundbreaking advancements in hair testing and analysis. In this special issue of Drug Testing and Analysis, we aim to showcase the remarkable manuscripts presented at this significant event, shedding light on the latest research and highlighting the future directions in this field.
Novel Analytical Techniques: The Verona meeting witnessed the unveiling of cutting-edge analytical techniques, offering enhanced sensitivity, selectivity, and accuracy for drug testing. Remarkable advancements in sample preparation, detection, and identification of drug compounds have been presented. The manuscripts in this section presented novel approaches, such as multianalyte methods and on-line preparation which can enable rapid analysis and improve thorough forensic investigations.
Biomarkers and Pharmacokinetics: The identification and validation of reliable biomarkers and pharmacokinetic studies are fundamental aspects of drug testing and analysis. The impact of hair treatments on the oxidation/decomposition of drugs in hair was also explored, as the long-term fate of drugs incorporated in the keratin matrix. Furthermore, the SoHT meeting in Verona featured research on the identification and quantification of alcohol abuse biomarkers, their stability, and their correlation with exposure and other biomarkers.
Forensic Applications and Interpretation: One of the vital objectives of hair testing is its application in forensic investigations and legal proceedings. The SoHT meeting in Verona emphasized the significance of rigorous interpretation of analytical results and the need for standardized protocols. Manuscripts in this section present advancements in forensic toxicology, and have explored the challenges posed by emerging designer drugs and strategies to combat their proliferation. The pitfalls encountered when the exogenous/endogenous nature of a substance is questioned were presented and discussed. The special issue presents also manuscripts that delve into the ethical implications of drug testing in drug facilitated sexual assaults.
Clinical Applications of hair testing are witnessed by the insight on environmental tobacco smoke exposure, assessed by hair analysis in a population of students and the study of in utero-exposure to drugs of abuse through neonatal hair analysis. Exposure to drugs was also important in cases of child abuse/neglect, when the clinical purpose of hair testing merge with its forensic applications.
The legal framework surrounding hair testing and the achievement of guidelines to ensure fairness, accuracy, and confidentiality in drug testing practices have also been discussed,and the SoHT consensus on general hair testing and testing for drugs of abuse was presented at the meeting and published as a Letter to the Editor.
In conclusion, the special issue of Drug Testing and Analysis, featuring manuscripts from the SoHT–GTFI meeting in Verona 2022, reflects the remarkable advancements achieved in this field. The manuscripts provide valuable insights into novel analytical techniques, biomarkers, pharmacokinetics, forensic applications, and ethical considerations. As we embrace these advancements, we pave the way for a safer, healthier society, where drug testing and analysis serve as powerful tools in protecting public health and maintaining integrity in various sectors. The research presented in this special issue will undoubtedly shape the future of drug testing and analysis, fostering collaboration and inspiring further innovation in this crucial area of scientific inquiry.
