Accredited Drug Testing offers comprehensive hair drug testing services in Kempster, Wisconsin. For those requiring a hair drug or alcohol examination, our specialty lies in hair assessments, with facilities nationwide equipped to conduct these tests. Typically, 1.5 to 2 inches of hair from the head's crown or body can be used. Hair analysis can detect drugs, alcohol/ETG, or can be customized for specific needs.
Over the years, drug testing increasingly includes hair follicle drug testing. This method is preferred by employers, judicial systems, and Substance Abuse professionals over standard urine tests. Hair follicle tests benefit employers with no-drug policies, the court system, and those on probation due to extended drug use detection—up to 90 days. The collection is directly observed and difficult to tamper with. Nonetheless, for recent drug use—within five days—urine tests remain the most reliable.

Hair analysis has become recognized as an effective means for detecting drug and alcohol consumption. Hair retains a prolonged record of alcohol and drug use by embedding biomarkers within the strands of the growing hair. When gathered near the scalp, hair can offer a detection timeline of up to about three months for alcohol and other substances. Hair is easy to collect, relatively challenging to tamper with, and straightforward to transport.
A 1.5-inch segment consisting of approximately 200 hair strands (similar to the thickness of a #2 pencil) nearest to the scalp will yield 100mg of hair, which is the optimal sample for both screening and verification. For EtG, additional tests, and/or tests exceeding 10 panels, 150mg of the specimen is advised. We suggest measuring the specimen using a jeweler’s scale. If scalp hair is unavailable, an equivalent quantity of body hair can be obtained. When discussing head hair, we mean scalp hair specifically. Body hair encompasses all other hair types (such as facial, axillary, etc.).
Process Overview
The four primary steps in the lab processing for a drug test outcome are Accessioning, Screening, Extraction, and Confirmation.
Accessioning entails the initial processing of a sample into a laboratory’s framework. This involves confirming that the sample was properly sealed and shipped, assigning a random LAN (Laboratory Accessioning Number), and completing any supplementary data entry not provided by an electronic chain of custody system.
Screening consists of an initial rapid test for substances of abuse. Although Screening is an economical method to exclude drug usage in most samples, a positive screen must be verified to be permissible in court. Any samples deemed presumptively positive during Screening require subsequent confirmation.
If a sample is deemed presumptively positive in the Screening phase, more hair is extracted from the initial specimen and set for Extraction. During this phase, drugs are removed from hair at far lower concentrations than in other techniques (e.g., urine or oral fluid), which is why hair drug screening is among the most challenging methodologies to carry out.
Confirmation of any positive screening outcome is carried out through GC/MS, GC/MS/MS, or LC/MS/MS. All samples that are presumptive positive undergo washing before confirmation as necessary. The entire laboratory procedure from Accessioning to Confirmation is evaluated under both the CAP (College of American Pathologists) Hair certification and the accreditation to ISO / IEC 17025 standards.

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.
