Accredited Drug Testing provides comprehensive hair follicle drug testing services in Reese, Michigan. If you're in need of a hair drug or alcohol screening, Accredited Drug Testing is your go-to specialist with nationwide centers equipped to conduct these tests. Typically, 1.5 to 2 inches of hair from your head's crown or elsewhere can be used for most tests. Hair analyses can identify drugs, alcohol/ETG, or can be customized for other testing needs.
Recently, hair follicle drug tests have become more common in substance detection processes. Employers, courts, and substance abuse experts are increasingly requiring these tests over urine ones. Hair follicle tests are favored by employers with zero-tolerance substance policies, courts, and probationary services. The major advantage they offer is a longer detection window—up to 90 days—accurately observed, and difficult to falsify, whereas urine tests remain the best option for identifying recent use within the last five days.

Testing hair has emerged as an effective method for identifying drug and alcohol consumption. Hair offers a prolonged record of substance use by embedding biomarkers within the strands as they grow. Hair collected near the scalp can reveal up to a 90-day history of alcohol and drug use. It is easy to collect, hard to tamper with, and convenient to transport.
A sample measuring 1.5 inches, consisting of approximately 200 hairs (similar in thickness to a #2 pencil) closest to the scalp, equates to 100mg, which is ideal for initial and confirmatory testing. For EtG and tests beyond 10 panels, a 150mg sample is recommended. We suggest using a jeweler's scale to measure the specimen. If scalp hair is inaccessible, an equal portion of body hair is suitable. References to head hair indicate only scalp hair. Body hair includes all other types (facial, axillary, etc.).
Procedure Summary
The primary stages in laboratory processing of a drug test result are Accessioning, Screening, Extraction, and Confirmation.
Accessioning is the preliminary integration of a sample into a lab's system. This step includes ensuring proper sealing and shipping of the specimen, assigning a unique LAN (Laboratory Accessioning Number), and completing any necessary data entry omitted by an electronic chain of custody system.
Screening serves as an initial, swift assessment for drug presence. Though cost-effective, a positive result in Screening requires confirmation for legal admissibility. Any sample preliminarily positive in Screening necessitates additional verification.
Presumptive positives in the Screening phase lead to further hair being taken from the sample for Extraction. During this phase, substances are extracted at lower concentrations than in other tests (such as urine or oral fluid), making hair drug screening more challenging.
GC/MS, GC/MS/MS, or LC/MS/MS methods confirm any positive from Screening. Presumed positive samples undergo washing before confirmation if necessary. The entire process from Accessioning to Confirmation undergoes review under the CAP (College of American Pathologists) Hair standard and the certification to ISO / IEC 17025.

Drawbacks:
Note: Though often termed as "hair follicle tests", the examination itself focuses on the hair strand, not the follicle beneath the scalp.

With its multidisciplinary nature, hair testing brings together researchers, scientists, and experts from various domains to develop innovative techniques, explore new methodologies, and address emerging concerns, responding to the ever-evolving challenges of drug abuse, therapeutic drug monitoring, and environmental exposures to pollutants.
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.
