About Nail Drug Testing
What Is a Nail Drug Test?
Nail drug testing analyzes fingernail or toenail clippings for evidence of drug use over an extended period. Because nails grow slowly, this testing method can provide a broader historical view than testing methods designed primarily for more recent drug use.
The collection is simple, non-invasive, and does not require a urine specimen.
Why Nail Drug Testing
When a Longer Detection Window Matters
Nail testing may be appropriate when the goal is to evaluate drug use history over a longer period rather than focusing primarily on recent use. It can also provide an alternative specimen when an appropriate hair sample is unavailable or hair collection is not preferred.
Metro Mile Delivery handles the collection professionally and prepares the specimen according to the applicable laboratory and chain-of-custody requirements.
TESTING OPTIONS
Choose Your Nail Drug Testing Panel
Metro Mile Delivery offers several nail drug testing options based on the level of screening required. If your test was requested by an employer, court, attorney, agency, or another organization, confirm which panel they require before scheduling.
The Collection Process
Simple & Non-Invasive Collection
During your appointment, the collector will verify the required information and explain the collection process. An appropriate amount of fingernail or toenail clipping is collected based on laboratory requirements, documented, packaged, and prepared for laboratory testing when applicable.
The process does not require needles or a urine specimen and can usually be completed conveniently during a scheduled collection appointment.
Fingernails Or Toenails?
If there is not enough fingernail available for the required specimen, toenail clippings may be an option depending on the laboratory and test ordered. Customers with very short nails, artificial nails, or concerns about specimen availability should contact Metro Mile Delivery before their appointment.
Mobile Nail Testing
Convenient Mobile Nail Collection
Metro Mile Delivery offers mobile nail specimen collection for qualifying appointments, bringing professional testing to homes, workplaces, businesses, care facilities, and other approved locations.
Mobile service makes testing more convenient for individuals and organizations that prefer not to travel to a traditional collection site. Additional travel, same-day, after-hours, or weekend charges may apply.
