Drugs We Detect

The test detects drugs that have been ingested or used over a period of time. Common drugs tested include:

Overview vs. Segmental Testing

Overview testing

Looks at the full length of the hair sample, usually around 1.5 inches, which represents about three months of use. Longer hair can give up to six months of information, but the result is still a broad overview. It’s less detailed but provides a clear picture of overall drug use during that time.

Segmental testing

More precise, as the hair is cut into smaller sections and each one is analysed separately. This allows for a month-by-month breakdown, typically from one to nine months depending on hair length. It’s ideal when you need to see exactly when drug use occurred within that period.

FAQ

Hair follicle drug testing works by analyzing a small sample of hair (usually from the scalp) to detect the presence of drug metabolites. When you use drugs, metabolites from those substances are deposited into your hair follicles through your bloodstream. As your hair grows, it traps these metabolites, allowing for a historical record of drug use.

Hair follicle drug testing typically detects drug use within a 90-day period using 1.5 inches of hair. This timeframe can be extended if longer hair is available. Segmental testing can provide more detailed insights into drug use over shorter intervals (e.g., 30-day periods).

A sample of about 1.5 inches of hair is typically needed for a 90-day test. If your scalp hair is too short, body hair can be used as an alternative. The technician will need to collect about 100-120 strands of hair.

Test results typically take between 3 to 7 business days to be processed and returned. More complex tests or additional analysis may take longer..

Hair follicle drug testing is highly accurate, with greater than 95% accuracy in detecting drug use. The process uses sensitive lab techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to confirm the presence of drug metabolites..

Yes! We can either arrange for you to visit one of our many clinics across the UK or send a technician to your location for an additional charge. This is particularly convenient for businesses or individuals who cannot visit a clinic in person.
