The Hair Follicle forensic drug test is a forensic, qualitative, anonymous screening for the presence of illicit drug metabolites in the core structure of human hair shafts. Testing is completely anonymous and confidentiality is 100% guaranteed. No names or other personal identity information is used during the testing process, only the special code number test key clearly marked on the test envelope under Donor Name or ID Number. This home version of the personal forensic laboratory analysis for drugs of abuse comes with precise instructions for use and delivery to our forensic lab. Once the lab receives your specimen, results are usually delivered within 5 to 7 business days. You will receive your report via email attachment. Test results indicate a negative or positive for each class of abused drugs tested for. We provide legal and confidential chain of custody services for Central Oregon residents in Bend, La Pine, Madras, Prineville, Redmond, and Sisters. Please call 541-977-5337 for this service.
Under certain circumstances, it may desirable to obtain a historical record of drug use. In-vitro urine and saliva drug test detection rates are limited to the metabolic half life of drugs while in the body's system. Sufficient abstinence prior to a drug test can therefore produce a negative test result when in fact the individual has a history of drug abuse. Institutions and employers may want this information particularly in critical or sensitive occupations. The Hair Follice Test we provide for home use is the exact forensic drug test serviceprovides the same clinical results that can is obtained from a local medical or forensic laboratory. All that is required is a sample of hair that is approximately the diameter of a pencil. Multiple sites can be used in order to avoid bald patches. Detection of historical drug use is dependent on the length of the hair sample from the root line. The average growth rate of hair is one-half inch per month. Therefore an approximate 90 day history of drug use would require a minimum of one and one-half inches of hair length measured from the root line.
PRINCIPLE
The presence of drugs in hair is based on a simple principle. Drugs which are ingested into the body circulate in a person's bloodstream which nourishesdeveloping hair follicles. As a result, trace amounts of the target drug or drug metabolite are deposited in the hair follicle and become entrapped in the core of the hair shaft as it grows out from the hair follicle. Normal growth rates for human hairare approximately one-half inch per month. By testing for the presence of drugs at various levels in the hair shaft core on a given length of hair, a fairly accurate approximation can then be made as to how long a particular drug has been used historically. Since target drug or drug metabolite residues are chemically and structurally stable for a period of time, they cannot be easily washed, bleached or flushed out of the hair structure. Consequently there is little possibility of sample contamination or manipulation. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS)forensic laboratory analysis of the hair shaft from an individual can achieve highly accurate drug test results and provide a historical use record. Generallyit takes approximately 5 days for drugs to show up in a person's hair and will continue to be detectable in new hair growth forseveral months.
The Hair Follicle forensic drug screening test is very easy to perform privately and confidentially. All that is required is obtaining a sample of hair according to test instructions and mailing the completed sample packet to the laboratory for processing using the postage paid form. Generally, results of the test are available within 7 - 10 business days after receipt by the laboratory (dependent on laboratory workload and scheduling) and will be emailed to you unless otherwise specified in your instructions.
Test Procedure: 1) Fill out enclosed envelope. 2) Obtain aluminum card included in envelope 3) Use tapered end of aluminum card to grasp and cut hair at the root (nearest end to the skin). You must collect enough hair ~ about the thickness of a pencil ~ for the test to be performed accurately. 4) Fold aluminum card lengthwise with hair follicle contained lengthwise and fold once again then place in envelope. 5) Send specimen in provided envelope. 6) results will be reported within 5 to 7 business days from receipt of specimen at laboratory.
