What to know about drug testing?
Drug byproducts can be detected in urine, blood,
hair, external residue, and even perspiration. Our
service gives a rapid 24-48 hrs answer, however,
depending on the choice of test, the analysis can
be delayed.
What to know about the chain of custody
procedure?
A typical chain of custody document would begin
its life during collection of the sample for testing
is done. This is when the test subject’s details are
written as well as those of the collector with the
respective times and dates. The complete list of
contents that are included with the test specimen
like packaging type, seals and other relevant
information are also included for verification upon
transport and turnover to the respective testing
facility. The said chain of custody form is added
onto as the test specimen travels from person to
person that gives complete accountability of a test
sample.

•Toxins from drugs are stored in the fat cells of the body. When the fat cells are burned, those toxins are
released into the bloodstream. When the toxins are released into the bloodstream, they are filtered out by
the kidneys, and then sent to the bladder. Once in the bladder, a urinalysis drug test will detect the drug
toxins, and cause a person to show positive for a drug urinalysis.
Laboratory Urinalysis
•Urinalysis drug tests are typically required from an employer, professional team, organization, terms of
probation or other reasons. The urinalysis drug tests are generally conducted at a collection site. The
collection site collects the urine sample in a specially designed cup, sealed with tamper-resistant tape and
sent via an express delivery service to a testing laboratory where it will be tested for drugs.
The presence of drugs in hair is based on a simple principle. Drugs which are ingested into the body circulate in a person's bloodstream which nourishes developing hair follicles. As a result, trace amounts of the target drug or drug metabolite are deposited in the hair follicle and become entrapped in the core of the hair shaft as it grows out from the hair follicle. Normal growth rates for human hair are approximately one-half inch per month. By testing for the presence of drugs in the hair shaft core on a given length of hair, a historical record can be achieved on past drug usage based on the length of the hair sample submitted measured from the scalp line. For example; if a 1.5" length hair sample measured from the scalp line is submitted, and knowing that on average head hair grows at the rate of .5" inch per month, then it can be assumed that a positive test result would imply that a drug was consumed sometime in the past 3 month period. Since target drug or drug metabolite residues are chemically and structurally stable for an extended period of time within the hair shaft core, they cannot be externally washed, bleached, chemically treated or flushed out of the hair structure. Consequently there is little possibility of sample contamination or manipulation. For this reason many courts and legal entities have chosen a forensic hair drug test as the preferred method of drug testing. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) forensic laboratory analysis of the hair shaft from an individual can achieve highly accurate drug test results and provide a historical use record. Generally it takes approximately 5 days for drugs to show up in a person's hair and will continue to be detectable in new hair growth for several months.
