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):

1. HAIR: Indicates the sample type is hair, allowing for a longer detection window (up to 90 days).

2. 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.
