Example 5 Panel Hair Drug Test Case: hair test for truck driver
Question: I am a truck driver with a CDL license so of course I do not do drugs but my girlfriend does smoke crystal meth sometimes. Although I have always passed my required DOT urine drug tests, the company that I am applying at, **** Trucking does a hair drug test. Can I get a meth positive or false positive for meth from just being around when it is being smoked?
Response: First, let’s keep in mind if you did happen to get a positive, it would not be considered a false positive for meth, but a true positive. We have seen clients get a positive hair drug test specifically for this reason. When a person smokes crystal meth it crystallizes in the air and falls to surfaces in your environment. This means even if you are not in the same room when meth is being smoked you have the risk of environmental exposure to it. If this is a good job opportunity or you do not want to risk a possible meth positive it may be worth ordering anonymous at home hair drug test.
FAQ
What does a 5-panel hair follicle test for?
How does the 5-panel hair drug screen work?
The 5-panel hair follicle drug test takes place in two steps. If the result is positive from the ELISA or EIA assays, a second test, called gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (CG-MS) is done to confirm the positive result of the first test.
If the first test shows a positive result, AMH Nationwide pricing includes a medical review for a presumptive positive, as well as confirmation testing.
Can I collect a hair sample on my own to be tested using the 5-panel hair follicle drug test?
Is it easy to do 5-panel hair follicle drug testing with AMH Nationwide?
What sorts of things can influence the results of a 5-panel hair drug screen?
The factors that can influence the results of a drug screen for hair include the length and color of the sample, as well as the hair type and condition. Dark hair contains more melanin, the hormone responsible for darker color, and drug compounds tend to bind more easily to melanin. Therefore, a sample of dark hair can return a more positive result than one with light hair.
A longer sample of hair will cover an older period of time. A standard hair test that is collected on head hair will have a look back of an estimated 90 days. However, if you need to cover a longer period of time we do offer extended detection hair tests that go well beyond the standard 90 days. Customer service can help you determine if your hair is long enough for this and send you the proper lab order.
