Example 18 Panel Nail Drug Test Case: Drug Test For Kratom

Question: My soon-to-be ex is requesting a drug test via court order for kratom. The court did not specify whether they needed a hair or a nail test for kratom so I think that I can choose either one. I used kratom about a year ago so I need to know if it would matter if I did a hair test or a nail test?

Answer: Yes, let’s remember that if we were to test for kratom on body hair or toenail you run the risk of getting a positive. It is not likely that the court would require a drug test to go back 1 year so in your case an 18 panel hair test or 18 panel nail test using head hair or fingernail would likely be the best choice. When calling us to register please keep in mind that we offer two 18 panel hair tests but only one of them tests for kratom.
