The TrichoTest hair analysis
If an individual (usually a parent or guardian) is suspected of drug use as part of legal casework, a TrichoTest hair analysis can identify a profile of drug use over a long period of time - typically three months (requiring donor hair length of 3cm or longer).
Primarily used in family law and child protection casework, a TrichoTest hair analysis is now regularly ordered by the Courts as part of child residency and custody cases.
