5 Panel Rapid Drug Screen Without THC (Hair)

The 5 Panel Rapid Drug Screen Without THC (Hair) will qualitatively identify the presence or absence of five (5) different classes of commonly abused or misused drugs or their metabolites in a hair sample.  This test is only to be used for drug screening purposes.  All positive results are considered presumptive and should not be interpreted as definitive evidence of substance use unless additional laboratory-based testing is conducted.  Confirmation of presumptively positive rapid drug test results by an independent laboratory is available, if necessary.  Additional charges for laboratory confirmations apply.

Drugs and their metabolites are deposited in hair as it grows through exposure to blood, sweat, and skin oils.  On average, most drugs can be detected 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, making the window of detection less precise.

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

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 cannot be collected for testing.

WHAT IF MY RAPID DRUG SCREEN IS PRESUMPTIVELY POSITIVE FOR A DRUG CLASS?

Additional confirmation testing of presumptively positive results can be conducted by an independent toxicology laboratory. Note that additional charges for each drug class to be confirmed will apply. Consult your local Any Lab Test Now store for pricing.

CAN MY RESULTS BE AFFECTED BY ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION?

No. Though environmental contamination may produce a positive screening result, hair samples are always washed by the laboratory to remove external contaminants before performing confirmation testing. Confirmed positive results reflect only true drug use or exposure.

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?

Rapid drug screen results are ready to be read by a technician in as little as 15 minutes. Negative reports are available the same day the test is conducted. Allow 3-5 business days for confirmation testing to be completed, if necessary.

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.
