Hair analysis is increasingly regarded as a robust method for identifying drug and alcohol consumption. Hair retains a prolonged record of substance use by embedding biomarkers in the fibers of the developing hair strand. When extracted near the scalp, it can offer nearly a three-month detection timeframe for substances. The collection of hair is straightforward, challenging to tamper with, and convenient for transportation.
A 1.5-inch segment consisting of about 200 hair strands (approximately the size of a #2 pencil) closest to the scalp provides 100mg of hair, which is an optimal sample size for both preliminary and confirmatory assessments. For EtG, additional tests, and/or panels exceeding 10, a specimen weight of 150mg is advisable. It's beneficial to use a jeweler’s scale to measure the sample. If scalp hair isn’t obtainable, an equal volume of body hair may serve as a substitute. When mentioning head hair, we imply scalp hair strictly, while body hair encompasses other hair forms (such as facial or axillary).
Process Overview
The laboratory processing of a drug test result involves Accessioning, Screening, Extraction, and Confirmation.
Accessioning entails the preliminary handling of a sample within a lab’s infrastructure. It includes validation that the sample was correctly sealed and transported, assignment of a random LAN (Laboratory Accessioning Number), and finalizing any extra data entry omitted by an electronic chain of custody system.
Screening involves an initial rapid assessment for substances. While it’s a cost-efficient measure to negate drug involvement for most samples, a positive screen needs verification for legal acceptance. Samples that are potentially positive in Screening necessitate follow-up confirmation.
In cases where a sample tests potentially positive during Screening, more hair is extracted from the initial sample for the Extraction phase. Here, substances are isolated from hair at a much reduced concentration than in alternative methods (e.g., urine or oral fluid), which makes hair-based drug screening particularly intricate.
Confirmation of each preliminary positive sample is executed through GC/MS, GC/MS/MS, or LC/MS/MS. Washing of all presumptive positive samples is performed before confirmation as required. The entire lab process from Accessioning through Confirmation is evaluated under the CAP (College of American Pathologists) Hair designation and ISO / IEC 17025 standard accreditation.

Drawbacks:
Note: Although often termed as "hair follicle tests", the actual analysis targets the hair strand, not 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.
