  • Marijuana (THC)
  • Opiates
  • Phencyclidine (PCP)
  • Barbiturates
  • Benzodiazepines
  • Methadone

  • MDMA (Ecstasy)

This laboratory-based test includes:

  • Routine Screening: Each drug class is systematically screened to determine the presence or absence of the specified substances.
  • Confirmation Testing: If any substances are detected, further confirmation testing is conducted to verify the results.

The 12 Panel Drug Test (Hair) is particularly effective for detecting historical drug use, as hair samples can provide a longer detection window compared to urine tests. This makes it a valuable option for pre-employment screenings, ongoing employee testing, and post-incident investigations.

Why would I need this test?
The 12-Panel Hair Drug Test is used to detect long-term drug use over a period of up to 90 days. This test is commonly used for: Pre-employment screenings, especially for positions that require strict drug-free policies. Random or routine workplace testing, particularly in safety-sensitive industries. Court-ordered or legal testing, such as probation, custody cases, or legal disputes. Rehabilitation programs to monitor long-term sobriety. Post-accident testing to investigate whether drug use was a contributing factor. A 12-panel hair test is preferred when a more comprehensive detection of various substances is required. It provides a broader scope than the 5- or 10-panel tests.
How is the sample collected for the test?
The sample collection process is straightforward: A small sample of hair, about 1.5 inches long and the width of a pencil, is cut close to the scalp. If you don’t have enough head hair, a sample from another body area (like arms, chest, or legs) will be collected. The hair sample is sent to a lab where it is analyzed for 12 different drug classes, which typically include: Marijuana Cocaine Amphetamines (including methamphetamine and MDMA) Opiates (including heroin, morphine, and codeine) Phencyclidine (PCP) Benzodiazepines Barbiturates Methadone Propoxyphene Quaaludes (methaqualone) Ecstasy (MDMA) Tramadol or similar substances, depending on the specific test configuration.
How far back does the test detect drug use?
The Hair drug tests can detect drug use for up to 90 days. The test analyzes hair growth closest to the scalp, typically measuring about 1.5 inches of hair, which reflects approximately three months of drug use history. Hair grows at an average rate of half an inch per month.
Will over-the-counter or prescription medications affect the test results?
Some over-the-counter and prescription medications may trigger positive results in a hair drug test if they contain substances similar to the drugs being screened for. For example: Prescription opioids may show up as opiates. Amphetamines prescribed for ADHD may appear in the results. Benzodiazepines prescribed for anxiety may also trigger positives. Please disclose any medications you take to the testing administrator so the lab can interpret the results correctly.
