Hair Follicle Testing

$90.00

Screens for illegal drugs or prescription medication misuse by analyzing the chemical metabolites trapped inside strands of hair. (Longer History)

How It Works

  • Collection Process: A technician uses scissors to snip a small sample of hair (about 100 to 120 strands, or roughly the thickness of a pencil) as close to the scalp as possible. Despite the name, the actual hair follicle under the skin is usually not plucked or tested.
