| ANY LAB TEST NOW can test your hair
sample for unknown substance and drugs. An unknown poison and
toxin analysis tests for unknown chemicals, poisons and toxins
that include but are not limited to pesticides, organic exposure
chemicals, painting or cleaning products, rodent poison,
volatiles and inhalants. This analysis does not test for drugs
or heavy metals. No two situations are alike, so contact ANY LAB
TEST NOW for assistance if you suspect poisoning or toxic
exposure. |
| Hair testing is the most accurate and
effective method of finding users of drugs of abuse. Using a
small sample of hair cut at the scalp, hair analysis evaluates
the amount of drug metabolites embedded inside the hair shaft. |
| Hair testing for drugs of abuse is the only drug-testing
method available that provides up to a 90-day drug use history.
This makes hair testing from Employer Solutions an ideal
solution for pre-employment and random testing protocols.
Detection period for body hairs can be much longer. ANY LAB TEST
NOW offers Hair Drug Testing using hair from scalp as well as
body hair. |
The Hair 5-Panel Drug Screen tests for the following drugs:
Amphetamines (including Ecstasy)
Cocaine
Marijuana (THC)
Opiates
Phencyclidine (PCP) |
- Amphetamines
- Barbiturates
- Benzodiazepines
- Cocaine metabolite
- Methadone
- Methaqualone (Quaaludes)
- Opiates
- Phencyclidine (PCP)
- Propoxyphene
- THC metabolite (50 ng/ml)
|
| The initial screening test is performed by enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay (ELISA) microplate technology. ELISA is one
of the current screening methods with the sensitivity to detect
drugs in hair specimens. After that gas chromatography/mass
spectrometry (GC/MS) or GC/MS/MS confirmation for presumptive
positive screens. Results for specimens that screen negative for
all drugs are generally available within 24 hours after
specimens are received at the laboratory. Results for
confirmation testing of presumptive positive screens are usually
available within an additional 72 hours |
| It takes approximately 5-14 days from the time of drug use
for the affected hair to grow above the scalp. Body hair growth
rates are generally slower and cannot be utilized to determine a
timeframe of drug use. |
| Many employers find it useful to test
both hair and urine for pre-employment purposes. Urine is useful
for detecting recent or new drug use (last 1-3 days except
Marijuana which is longer) and hair for providing an approximate
three-month drug history. |
| We have not found any adulterants that
can beat the test at this time. Moreover, the risk is minimized
because every collection is directly and easily
observed. Bleaches, shampoos and external contaminants (i.e.
marijuana smoke) have no known impact on test results. Our
testing method measures the drug molecules embedded inside the
hair shaft, eliminating external contamination as a source of a
positive test result. Hair testing results cannot be altered
with shampoos or other external chemicals. |
| In order to be fair to the donor, we
must have enough hair to repeat assays if necessary. ANY LAB
TEST NOW® may use head, chest, underarm, leg, or face hair for
collection. |
| ANY LAB TEST NOW® takes Hair Follicle
Test samples under strict Chain of Custody Procedures. The Test
is conducted by SAMHSA, CAD and CLIA certified labs and includes
third Party Medical Review Officer (MRO) verification. ANY LAB
TEST NOW® test results are court defensible. |
| Yes, as with many other tests Hair
Follicle Testing can be taken anonymously. |
| Yes, the test will be reported as
having an "anonymous" donor. |
