Urine Alcohol Testing
With urine alcohol testing, most drugs including alcohol are undetectable if urinalysis is done more than 2-3 days after use because alcohol in blood decays at the rate of about one unit per hour and so it is quickly lost. With hair alcohol testing, you can track alcohol use weeks and months after someone has consumed alcohol.
Hair Alcohol Testing, a ground-breaking new technique commercialized for the first time in the UK by Trimega Laboratories, is the most accurate and effective method of finding dependent users who abuse alcohol. It is much more sensitive than urine alcohol testing and has a lesser chance of being tampered with.
When alcohol is being broken down by the body it reacts to form intermediate substances the body eventually removes in urine, feces or breath. These intermediate substances are called metabolites. Blood feeds the hair root leaving tiny traces of alcohol metabolite that become trapped in the hair and gives an alcohol history which we detect when we perform a hair alcohol test.
Advantages of hair alcohol testing verses urine alcohol testing:
- Each half inch of head hair provides a 30-day history of alcohol use. A hair alcohol test can show alcohol abuse over a period of months instead of hours of urinalysis specimens.
- Our nurses collect a small sample of scalp hair at your office or your client's address, eliminating the need for toilets or refrigeration.
- Hair alcohol testing drastically reduces the possibility of contamination or false positives.
- The only non evasive alcohol test of its kind in the world.
Trimega Laboratories is the only company that offers hair alcohol testing world wide and the first company in Europe to offer this type of testing. When compared to more traditional forms of testing like urine alcohol testing, hair samples can detect a longer period of alcohol use or prove the absence of it.
