Lab order:
REQUIRED (call customer service)
Test arrangements and appointments:
No appointment needed; orders for 12-panel nail drug test collections may require special test arrangements; same day collections may be possible, but we may have to mail out lab orders and we therefore strongly suggest calling customer service as soon as possible.
Result turnaround time:
Please remember result times are an ESTIMATE and never a guarantee. Results for a 12-panel fingernail drug test usually take an ESTIMATED one to seven business days but average three to five business days.
Specimen:
For the 12-panel fingernail drug test you need 150 mg of a clipped fingernail or toenail sample. (Special note: fingernail and toenails cannot be combined); clipping done by specimen donor; collections are observed and signed off by lab technician; a cutting of each 10 fingernails or toenails, 3 to 4 millimeters (3 to 4 MM) in length yields a 150 milligram (150 mg); (if not enough nail sample see 12 panel hair follicle drug test).
Detection time:
A standard 12-panel nail drug test has a detection time of an estimated three to six months from potential usage when using fingernail clippings; however, when using toenail clippings, detection can possibly go back as long as one year.
Price:
We have done the shopping for you so we almost always have the best price in your area and to be extra sure we will even do a price match for you! We have been offering easy access to affordable lab testing since 2004!
Methodology:
EIA (homogenous) or Elisa (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) (heterogeneous) screening technology; GCMS (Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry) confirmation technology of non-negative presumptive positives
Clinical applications:
Finger and toenail drug testing offers extended detection times when compared to drug testing by urine, blood, and oral swab; allows for observed collection when adulteration of urine sample is suspected (donor performs their own nail clipping in the presence of lab tech); used to clarify confusing or conflicting pre-employment, pain management, and probation urine drug test results; court-ordered finger and toenail drug testing; post rehab testing; difficult or impossible to adulterate.
LIMITATIONS general:
Takes roughly one to two weeks for drug or alcohol abuse to begin showing in nail sample; environmental exposure can show immediately.
Possible processing laboratory options:
United States Drug Testing Laboratory (USDTL)
FAQ
Can you provide more information about Tramadol?
What is Tramadol usually prescribed for?
Why is Tramadol Addictive?
Will nail testing produce better results than hair testing?
I work for a private firm that provides security assistance to various government entities. I recently received a false positive drug test for tramadol. I have never in my life used tramadol but now I am at risk for losing my job and possibly even being blackballed throughout the industry. It looks like the 12 panel fingernail drug test would check for tramadol and hopefully clear my name, is that correct?
Is there a fingernail drug test that checks for meperidine?
There are several different fingernail tests for drugs that will include meperidine but the best option is probably the 12 panel fingernail test. A 12 panel will be the best priced option that also includes what you need. We are happy to talk to you about your testing options while also making sure you are not over spending on testing that you do not need.
