Testing With Hair Samples

We’ve all seen in police and crime lab movies how people can pluck a piece of hair from someone and then run all sorts of DNA. When you really think about it, it sounds pretty crazy! You can tell if someone else is related to you by just a pluck of the hair. So, it makes you think, what else can you tell from your hair? Hair drug testing services only requires the smallest sample of hair. We collect it under supervision and generally grab 100-200 hairs right from the crown of the head. We like to cut it as close to the scalp as possible so that we test the actual strands versus the hair follicle. We do this so that our sample is much less likely to be tampered with and the results are accurate.
