Hair analysis

Hair analysis is an effective method for the identification of drugs. Only a small amount of sample is required to evaluate quantitatively and qualitatively drug metabolites in the hair shaft. Unlike traditional forms of analysis such as blood or urine testing that detect drugs for shorter periods of time, hair analysis provides the advantage of a long-term evaluation of drugs used by the donor.

The history of drug use depends on the length of the hair of the head. Using approximately 3,5 cm of hair sample, the use or non-use of drugs can be revealed for a period of up to ninety days. Bleaches, shampoos and external contaminants have no known impact on test results.

ToxPlus undertakes also the analysis of hair samples in order to determine pesticides presence. Pesticides can have a negative impact on health, affecting the nervous system and organs of the individual. Our company has the ability to detect the presence of the pesticides in human hair, taking into consideration in our facilities the number and special characteristics of the samples analyzed.
