10 Panel Drug Test (Hair)

The 10 Panel Drug Test (Hair) will identify the presence or absence of [number] different classes of commonly abused or misused drugs and/or their metabolites.  As a laboratory-based test, this panel includes a routine screen for each drug class, as well as any necessary confirmation testing.

Drugs and their metabolites are deposited in hair as it grows through exposure to blood, sweat, and skin oils.  On average, most drugs are detectable in head hair beginning at 7 days after use and extending as far back as 90 days if the hair sample collected is at least 1.5 inches in length.  A confirmed positive result for a drug or drug metabolite is considered evidence of use or exposure in that time period.  Note that body hair does not grow at the same rate as head hair, therefore the window of detection is less precise.

This test requires a head or body hair sample that can be collected at the Any Lab Test Now store location of your choice.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF HAIR DRUG TESTING?

Hair drug testing is non-invasive, less subject to specimen tampering, and provides a wider window of detection compared to a standard urine drug test.  It is also the best method for detecting patterns of chronic drug use that may be missed by a urine drug test if the timing of the test doesn’t align with recent use.  

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO PREPARE?

We ask only that hair be clean and free of excessive styling products.  Hair that is visibly damaged by repeated chemical processing may be rejected by the laboratory and cannot be collected for testing.  

CAN MY RESULTS BE AFFECTED BY ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION?

No.  Unless otherwise requested, hair samples are always washed by the laboratory to remove external contaminants before testing.

IS IT SAFE TO TAKE THIS TEST IF I AM PREGNANT?

Yes.

DO I NEED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?

No.  You can walk in for same-day testing.  We make it easy by offering work-friendly store hours.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MY RESULTS?

Most negative drug test results are available within 24-48 hours.  Allow additional time for confirmation testing to be completed if necessary.

WHO HAS ACCESS TO MY RESULTS?

Drug test results always belong strictly to the donor, except in the case of a minor child or an employer or court-ordered drug test.  The donor may also provide written authorization for test results to be provided to one or more third parties, if necessary.

IS A DOCTOR’S ORDER REQUIRED?

WHO CAN I CONTACT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT MY RESULTS?
