5-Panel + EXP OPI Hair Follicle Drug Test
The HAIR-5 (EXOP) test is a 5-panel drug test using hair samples, with the inclusion of EXOP, which likely stands for extended opiates. This means the test not only screens for the standard 5 drug classes but also includes additional or more detailed opiate testing.
Breakdown of HAIR-5 (EXOP):
HAIR: Indicates the sample type is hair, allowing for a longer detection window (up to 90 days).
5: Refers to a 5-panel drug test that typically screens for:
Marijuana (THC)
Cocaine (including crack)
Amphetamines (includes methamphetamine and MDMA)
Opiates
Phencyclidine (PCP)
(EXOP): Stands for Extended Opiates:
Includes additional opiates beyond standard opiate testing, such as:
Hydrocodone (e.g., Vicodin)
Hydromorphone (e.g., Dilaudid)
Oxycodone (e.g., OxyContin, Percocet)
Oxymorphone (e.g., Opana)
Key Features:
Extended Detection for Opiates: The test includes prescription opioids that are often abused, expanding the scope of traditional opiate testing (morphine, codeine, heroin).
Detection Window: Up to 90 days, depending on hair length.
Sample Collection: Hair samples are typically collected from the scalp or other body areas if scalp hair is not available.
Use Cases:
Commonly used by employers, legal systems, or rehabilitation programs for detecting a broad range of drug use, including prescription painkillers.
Particularly beneficial for detecting long-term patterns of drug use, including opioid abuse.
