• Less Invasive: A person can easily give a hair sample without the required privacy of urinating and the sample can easily be taken at any time. It is also highly unlikely that a person must be monitored for hair follicle tampering as they would be for urine testing.

• Nearly Tamper Proof: Hair follicle testing is immune to many of the cheats available on the market for urine testing. Because the hair follicle retains the traces inside the follicle, it cannot be cleared from the hair with shampoos and bleaches. There is also no way to add things to the sample to adulterate the test results.

• Drug Free Periods Don’t Give False Negatives: Despite the period where use didn’t occur, periods of drug use will not be cleared from the hair follicle. Every month, about ½ inch of hair is produced and as long as that hair remains on the body it will be proof of that drug use.

• More Specific Drug Results: While many other forms of drug testing cannot differentiate between drug types such as opiates and poppy seeds, hair testing can.

• Reduced Costs: Urine based testing remains less expensive than that of many other types of drug testing testing. In addition, urine tests have consistently proven to be accurate, which also has a significant impact on the total expense.

• Fast Results: Urine tests are virtually instant, meaning that there is a far less time spent in evaluation than many other tests which may require lab testing to be proven accurate.

• Easy to Store and Long Shelf Life: Unlike other drug tests, urine tests can be put aside for a time without any likelihood of deterioration or damage from the length of storage.

• Detects As Many as 12 Drugs at a Time: Urine testing allows the test person to evaluate the sample for as many as 12 different drugs from the same sample. This isn’t always the case with other forms of testing which may only be able to test for a few different types.

• Minimally Invasive: Urine testing allows the subject to collect the sample themselves and then offer it for testing rather than it being collected directly from their body.

FDA Approved:  The FDA has declared urine drug testing a safe and accurate form of drug testing for use in all locations where it is legal to conduct testing.
