As nails grow, substances contained in the bloodstream, such as drugs, pass from the blood vessels underneath them into the keratin fibres of which the nails are made and become trapped in them. Because of this, the presence of drugs can be detected for up to 12 months.
Having been awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation, the Nail Drug Testing we offer is the fastest, most cost-effective solution when it is not possible to collect a hair sample, either for religious reasons, aesthetic concerns or because the person has no hair, and can be used for any person in courts and for legal professionals and local authorities.

Sample Collection
A sample of approximately 10mg of nails is required for Nail Drug Testing. Either fingernails or toenails can be used, without mixing both types of nails in the same sample. One nail is sufficient if the nail is 5mm or longer, but more nails will need to be clipped if the nails are short. Always collect the nail as close to the nail bed as possible.
