A 14-panel Hair Follicle drug test is a comprehensive panel test used to detect drug use for up to 90-days, and it is most commonly applicable in legal cases such as foster care, social services, custody and parole. While this test can use any form of DNA to evaluate drug use — such as blood, urine, and saliva — this 14-panel test uses hair follicles.
After a drug is consumed and broken down by the human body, it will be metabolized and stored in the hair follicles, oil glands or sweat glands. The drug can then remain in the hair as it grows and can be found up to 90 days later.
The 14-panel hair follicle drug test evaluates the presence of drugs for up to 90 days since ingestion. Hair specimen collection is a non-invasive process but does require approximately 80-120 strands of hair that are cut close to the scalp near the root of the hair shaft.
A sufficient quantity of hair will be professionally harvested and then placed in a laboratory specimen bag prior to being sent to the laboratory for testing. The hair collected should be at least an inch and a half long per strand.
Hair grows at an average rate of a half inch per month, so one-and-a-half-inch lengths of hair strands are necessary to achieve the full 90-day detection window for hair follicle drug testing. Hair can be collected from the head or body including the chest, legs or armpit.
Chain-of-custody procedures and detailed documentation are critical to specimen integrity and are carefully followed by Test Smartly Labs.
At the lab, the sample will go through the testing process to detect 14 different substances, including:
Because a 14-panel hair follicle drug test is extensive, this test is usually performed for legal purposes. It is not commonly done for regular workplace testing. For a less extensive testing option, we recommend rapid drug testing for employee environments.
Testing for 14 categories of drug use is best suited in the following environments:
