Test Components:

The Hair 5-Panel Drug Screen tests for the following drugs:

1. Amphetamines (including Ecstasy)
2. Cocaine
3. Marijuana (THC)
4. Opiates
5. Phencyclidine (PCP)

Description:

The Hair 5-Panel Drug Screen uses the only drug testing method available that will determine a drug usage history of up to 90-days. Compared to urine drug testing, hair testing is generally more accurate and because of its longer detection window, provides a lot more 'positives.' Even better, there's virtually no way to taint a hair sample. Another benefit is that hair drug testing is forensically defensible – meaning, the results can be admissible in court.

The test is quite simple and non-invasive. An ANY LAB TEST NOW® associate will collect a sample of hair and within days, you will have the results.

Why Do I Need It?:

A few strands of hair can detect drug usage within the last 90-days.

Employers frequently choose this method for drug screening their employees for several reasons. It provides a greater history of usage than other types of drug tests, it is nearly impossible to "cheat" the test and lastly, it is a cleaner alternative to urine based testing. This test can also include a Medical Review Officer (MRO) to review and certify the results.

Before you apply for that new job, you might consider a Hair Follicle 5-Panel Drug Screen to make sure you're clean. This hair test is commonly used by employers for pre-employment and also for in-house random testing.

Other Relevant Tests:
