Accredited Drug Testing provides comprehensive hair follicle drug screening in Wolverine Lake, Michigan. Need a hair drug or alcohol test? Our specialty is hair testing. We have numerous centers across the nation ready to perform these tests. Generally, hair from the crown or body, measuring 1.5 to 2 inches, is required. Hair analysis can target drugs, alcohol/ETG, and other customized testing choices.
Over recent years, hair follicle drug tests have become more prevalent in drug testing procedures. Employers, courts, and substance abuse experts increasingly opt for these over traditional urine tests. Hair tests are favored by employers with zero-tolerance drug policies, judicial systems, and those under probation. Key benefits include a longer detection window, usually up to 90 days, with the process being observed and virtually tamper-proof. Nonetheless, for detecting recent drug use within five days, urine tests remain the standard.

Using hair for testing is recognized as a robust method for identifying substance use. Hair captures a comprehensive record of drugs and alcohol by embedding biomarkers within the hair's growing strands. When retrieved near the scalp, it can offer an approximately three-month detection period for substances. Collecting hair is straightforward, potentially tamper-resistant, and convenient for shipping.
A sample measuring 1.5 inches, with about 200 hair strands (similar in size to a #2 pencil) near the scalp, yields 100mg, which is optimal for screening and confirmation. For EtG, additional tests, and/or panels exceeding 10, a 150mg sample is advisable. We suggest using a jeweler’s scale to weigh the specimen. In the absence of scalp hair, an equivalent quantity of body hair is acceptable. References to head hair pertain exclusively to scalp hair. Body hair encompasses all other types (facial, axillary, etc.).
Process Overview
The processing of a drug test result in a laboratory consists of four key steps: Accessioning, Screening, Extraction, and Confirmation.
Accessioning is the first step, where the sample is integrated into the laboratory system, ensuring it was properly sealed and shipped. A random LAN (Laboratory Accessioning Number) is assigned, and any extra data entry not facilitated by an electronic chain of custody system is completed.
Screening is a preliminary assessment for substances of abuse. Though a cost-efficient way to exclude drug use in most samples, a positive result requires confirmation for court acceptance. Any samples testing positive during Screening need a secondary confirmation.
If Screening indicates a probable positive, additional hair is used from the sample for Extraction. During this phase, drugs are removed from hair at lower concentrations than in methods like urine or oral fluid, making hair drug testing a challenging methodology to execute.
Any positive result from Screening is confirmed using GC/MS, GC/MS/MS or LC/MS/MS. Before confirmation, samples that are presumptively positive are washed as required. The lab process from Accessioning through Confirmation adheres to the CAP (College of American Pathologists) Hair guidelines and ISO / IEC 17025 standards accreditation.
Advantages of hair drug testing:
Limitations:
Note: Generally termed "hair follicle tests", these actually analyze the hair strand, not the scalp’s hair follicle.

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.
