Significance and Applications of Hair Testing Hair testing holds special significance for identifying the drug use history of drug users. This testing method can be applied to high-risk groups for drug use (such as staff in entertainment venues, and individuals under community drug rehabilitation and community-based recovery), as well as other groups related to public security and public services including military recruitment applicants and personnel in public service industries (e.g., bus and taxi drivers).
Through interviews with experts from relevant departments and visits to grassroots anti-drug workers, the technical personnel of our company have summarized five key advantages of the On-site Trace Hair Drug Detector as follows:
Convenient Sampling, Easy Preservation and Authentic Samples The hair collection process can be monitored in full to minimize the risk of sample adulteration. Hair collection is a non-invasive procedure that causes no physical harm to the subject. Moreover, hair samples require no refrigeration, are contamination-resistant and easy to preserve for a long time. There is also no risk of bacterial and viral infection from hair samples, which protects the physical and mental health of testers.
Long Detection Window, Reflecting Long-term Drug Abuse Bodily fluids can only reflect drug use within 1-3 days prior to sample collection, while hair testing can detect drug use over a period of 3 to 6 months (the detection window can even extend to 6-12 months for individuals with longer hair). This largely avoids the interfering effects of temporary medication use (e.g., ephedrine and pseudoephedrine in cold medicines such as Tylenol and Contac, and liquorice tablets).
Serving as a Reference for Drug Use History Analyzing hair samples with a specific growth cycle or conducting long-term hair testing on suspects can serve as a reference for determining the timing and degree of drug use, and help identify an individual's long-term and repeated drug use behavior in a certain sense. Therefore, hair is a highly suitable test sample for detecting drug use history.
Visualizable Results for Big Data Establishment Routine bodily fluid test results have no obvious dose-response relationship with the degree of drug use, while hair testing can reflect the amount of drugs used to a certain extent (e.g., whether the subject is a long-term drug user or takes large doses of drugs). Test results can be compiled and uploaded to a database, which in turn guides law enforcement officers of public security organs in conducting more refined management and control work.
Reduced Operational Costs Hair drug testing does not require monthly screenings, allowing for an appropriately reduced testing frequency (e.g., long-term follow-up testing once a quarter or once every six months) and improved work efficiency. Test subjects also do not need to make frequent trips to designated testing locations, thus reducing the overall operational costs of drug testing work.
The new hair drug detector independently developed and manufactured by Jinan Chuangxingweier Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. adopts quantum dot fluorescence detection technology based on immunoassay. Featuring simple operation, easy portability and convenient sampling, it enables non-invasive hair testing with no risk of pathogen infection and is adaptable to various testing environments. The entire hair testing process takes no more than 10 minutes, greatly boosting the work efficiency of grassroots police officers. The detector can rapidly and accurately detect three common drugs in hair – morphine, methamphetamine (commonly known as ice) and ketamine (commonly known as K powder) – and print out qualitative and quantitative test results along with corresponding numerical values, which serve as a basis for on-site inspection and disposal by anti-drug police officers.
