Confidentiality and precision guide how we handle each sample, from collection through results. Because there are no known adulterants for fingernail or toenail drug testing, clients and employers can have confidence in the process.

Nail testing also pairs well with other specimen types. Paired with a urinalysis test, or a hair test, nail drug testing can provide a comprehensive view of a person’s drug use history. Alongside nail testing, we offer a full range of drug and alcohol testing services for individuals, employers, schools, and government agencies. One location, one team, every test you need.

Who Uses Fingernail & Toenail Drug Testing

Nail drug testing detects drug use over a period of approximately 6 to 8 months, far longer than urine or saliva testing. That extended detection window makes it the right tool for a specific set of needs.

We serve five main groups:

Employers screening new hires: Employers wishing to screen potential new employees before hiring use nail testing to establish a reliable baseline before an offer is finalized.
Zero-tolerance organizations: Businesses, companies, and schools that have a zero-tolerance drug use policy rely on the long detection window to detect use that other tests might miss.
Individuals who can’t provide a hair sample: Individuals who are not able to provide a hair sample for drug testing due to hair length, hair loss, or other reasons can use nail clippings as a direct alternative.
Court-ordered & court-admissible needs: Those in need of court-ordered and court-admissible results choose nail testing for its reliability and defensibility.
Private personal testing: Individuals in need of private drug testing for personal reasons, including self-monitoring or documentation, use nail testing for its accuracy and extended history.

Fingernails and toenails are both suitable specimen types. Toenails tend to reflect a longer use history than fingernails due to their slower growth rate. Our team can guide you through which specimen type fits your situation.

How Fingernail & Toenail Drug Testing Works

When the body metabolizes drugs, trace amounts travel through the bloodstream and become incorporated into the keratin fibers of growing nails. Because nails grow slowly, those metabolites remain trapped and detectable for months after use. Fingernails typically reflect approximately 6 - 8 months of history; toenails may reflect an even longer period due to their slower growth rate.

The metabolites are locked into the keratin structure, and there are no known adulterants that can interfere with the sample. Collection uses clippings, not scrapings, and can be observed directly without privacy concerns for the donor.

What to Expect at Our Facility

Our certified collectors take clippings from the test subject’s fingernails or toenails in our clean, comfortable facility. The process is quick and non-invasive, and each step follows strict chain-of-custody procedures to protect accuracy and confidentiality.

Lab analysis uses advanced techniques to identify drug metabolites in the nail sample. Common substances detectable through nail testing include cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, methamphetamines, marijuana, and PCP, among others. Results are returned quickly, and our team is available to answer questions about your test from start to finish.
