Accredited Drug Testing offers all-inclusive hair follicle drug testing in Mooreland, Oklahoma. If you require a hair drug or alcohol screen, we specialize in hair assessments, with testing sites in cities nationwide ready to manage a hair examination. Generally, 1.5 to 2 inches of hair from the head's crown or body can be used. Hair assessments can detect drugs, alcohol/ETG, or other custom testing options.
In recent times, drug testing methods have increasingly adopted hair follicle drug screening. Various employers, courts, and substance abuse professionals now prefer hair drug tests over traditional urine exams. Employers holding strict drug-free policies, judicial bodies, and probation individuals use these tests. The main advantage is its extended detection time, typically up to 90 days, with an observed collection process that is difficult to manipulate. Yet, for drug use within the past 5 days, urine assessments remain the most precise.

Hair testing is now recognized as an effective measure for detecting drug and alcohol consumption. Hair can capture a prolonged history of alcohol and drug use by embedding biomarkers in the strands as they grow. When taken from the scalp, hair can reveal up to a 3-month detection period for drugs and alcohol. Hair collection is straightforward, relatively hard to tamper with, and simple to transport.
A 1.5-inch section of roughly 200 hair strands (equivalent to the diameter of a #2 pencil) nearest the scalp yields 100mg, the optimal sample size for screening and verification. For EtG, additional tests, and/or panels above 10, a 150mg sample is advised. We suggest measuring the sample with a jeweler’s scale. If scalp hair is unavailable, an equivalent amount of body hair can be used. When discussing head hair, it refers only to scalp hair. Body hair encompasses all other hair types (facial, axillary, etc.).
Process Overview
The primary phases in laboratory processing of drug test results include Accessioning, Screening, Extraction, and Confirmation.
Accessioning is the preliminary processing of a specimen into the lab’s system. It includes ensuring the sample was sealed and delivered properly, assigning a random LAN (Laboratory Accessioning Number), and completing any extra data entry not supplied by an electronic chain of custody system.
Screening includes an initial quick assessment for drugs of abuse. Although Screening is a cost-effective way to exclude drug use in most samples, a positive screen needs confirmation to be upheld in court. Samples that are presumptively positive in Screening necessitate secondary confirmation.
If a sample is presumptively positive during the Screening stage, additional hair is taken from the initial sample for Extraction. In this phase, substances are extracted from hair at a much lower concentration than other methods (e.g., urine or oral fluid), making hair drug screening the most complex methodology.
Confirmation of positive Screening results is done using GC/MS, GC/MS/MS, or LC/MS/MS. All presumptive positive samples are cleaned before confirmation as necessary. The entire lab procedure from Accessioning to Confirmation is evaluated under both CAP (College of American Pathologists) Hair designation and the ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation standards.

Limitations:
Note: Although often called "hair follicle tests", the test evaluates the hair strand itself and not the hair 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.
