(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, 2 to 3 millimeters (2 to 3 MM) in length yields a 100 milligram (100 mg) (if not enough nail sample see 7 panel hair follicle drug test)

A standard 7 panel fingernail drug test has a detection time of an estimated 3 to 6 months from potential usage when using fingernail clippings, however, when using toenail clippings detection can possibly go back as long as one year

May require a small fee for the collection, the price for the 7 panel fingernail drug test can vary depending on which drug test locations are available in your area, you must call customer service for a price quote, however our test prices are normally better or the best price in the area (Please note: All prices include any necessary confirmation testing and medical review of any possible prescriptions.)

FAQ

My pain management doctor just refused to see me because I had a negative urine drug test. I guess they think that I am not taking my opiate prescription and selling it or something? I would like a hair drug test but I am a swimmer and I shave all my body hair. Will a 7 panel fingernail drug test help me?

Some drug test companies call the 5 panel plus expanded opiate hair test a 7 panel. Instead, you probably need 10 panel so that it includes oxycodone. Unfortunately, it is not all that uncommon for a pain management doctor to take these drastic measures since they are prescribing highly addictive pain medications. It is also not uncommon to test negative on a standard urine drug test if you are on a low dose opiate. There are pain management drug tests which have an extremely low cut off range. Yes, if you shave your body hair, then your best choice would be to take a fingernail drug test. We cannot guarantee that your doctor’s office we see this as an acceptable way to contest the previous result, but in most cases it is very effective in clearing these things up.


I registered for a 7 panel fingernail drug test, but then I went and got my nails done. Can I still get my test done?

In order to do a fingernail collection, you must wear your natural nails, there cannot be an unusual appearance to the nail/toenail or else the collection cannot be done. Any polish, acrylic, gel or nail overlay that is on your nails must be removed with a non-ethanol based polish remover. Instead, we suggest using isopropyl alcohol or acetone to remove the polish from the nail.
