How can drugs be detected in nails?
Any drug that is consumed circulates in the bloodstream.
As a nail grows, substances pass from the blood vessels below the nail into the keratin fibres where they become trapped and can thus be detected.
Why choose nail testing?
Nail testing is ideal for those cases where hair testing is not possible (such as the donor has no or little hair, for religious reasons, and for those concerned with their appearance).
Unlike hair drug testing, nail testing won’t give a historic segmented pattern of drug use, but it will give an overview of up to 12 months.
Our drug testing panel

Sample collection
The nail is collected as close to the nail bed as possible. If the nail is long (5 mm or above) then only one would be required. If the nails are short then it may be best to take clippings from a couple of nails. Either fingernails or toenails can be used for the test, but not a mixture. Approximately 10 mg of nail is required in total.
The sample would need to be collected under chain of custody conditions to support legally defensible results. This would require either an appointment with one of our trained sample collectors at a place convenient to the donor or at one of our nationwide Walk in Centres.
