In Eagledale, Washington, Accredited Drug Testing offers comprehensive hair follicle drug testing. If you're looking for a hair-based drug or alcohol test, our company excels in hair testing, with centers available in every city across the nation to conduct these tests. Typically, you should have 1.5 to 2 inches of hair on your head's crown or can utilize body hair in most instances. Hair follicle tests can analyze substances like drugs, alcohol/ETG, or be customized for various testing needs.
Lately, hair follicle drug tests have increasingly been included in the methods used for drug testing. Courts, employers, and substance abuse professionals often prefer hair drug tests over traditional urine tests. Employers with zero-tolerance policies, courts, and probationary individuals frequently use hair follicle tests due to their reliability and extended substance detection period of up to 90 days, often collected under observation, making them nearly impossible to cheat. However, when identifying recent drug use within the past five days, urine tests remain the most accurate option.

Hair analysis is now recognized as an effective method for identifying drug and alcohol consumption. Hair captures a comprehensive record of substance use by embedding biomarkers within the strands as they grow. When taken from near the scalp, this method can reveal substance use history for up to three months. Hair collection is straightforward, challenging to tamper with, and conveniently transportable.
A 1.5-inch segment comprising roughly 200 strands (comparable to a #2 pencil) taken near the scalp yields 100mg, which is optimal for both screening and confirmation. For tests including EtG, add-ons, or those exceeding 10 panels, a 150mg sample is preferred. We advocate using a jeweler’s scale for specimen measurement. In instances where scalp hair is missing, an equivalent quantity of body hair can be used. "Head hair" specifically refers to scalp hair alone. "Body hair" includes all other hair varieties (facial, underarm, etc.).
Process Overview
The drug testing process in the laboratory is comprised of four principal stages: Accessioning, Screening, Extraction, and Confirmation.
During Accessioning, the sample undergoes an initial entry into the lab’s system. This step ensures the sample’s proper sealing and shipment, assigns a random Laboratory Accessioning Number (LAN), and completes any manual data input not covered by an electronic chain of custody.
In Screening, the sample undergoes an initial analysis for substance abuse. Although this is an economical way to eliminate drug use in the bulk of samples, a confirmed outcome is necessary for legal acceptance. Samples yielding a tentative positive in Screening necessitate further validation.
Should a sample result in a tentatively positive during Screening, additional hair is drawn from the initial collection for Extraction. At this juncture, drugs are extracted from hair in concentrations lower than those in urine or oral fluid testing. Consequently, the hair drug screening method is among the most challenging to execute.
To substantiate any positive result from Screening, techniques like GC/MS, GC/MS/MS, or LC/MS/MS are employed. Each sample flagged as tentatively positive undergoes a washing step before Confirmation, if necessary. The entire lab process from Accessioning through Confirmation adheres to both the CAP (College of American Pathologists) Hair designation and ISO / IEC 17025 accreditation standards.
Advantages of hair drug testing:
Limitations:
Note: Although frequently termed "hair follicle tests," this testing examines the hair strand, not the follicle located 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.
