Did Drinking Cause The Accident? Look At Their Hair

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 02, 2009 – A new caped crusader has arrived on the crime scene and he can determine your guilt or innocence just by looking at your hair.

This is not the fashion police, or even that dreamy Kyan from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy's Fab 5.  It's a guy in a lab coat.

More specifically, it's many guys (and gals) in lab coats at Trimega Labs, a soon-to-be leader in drug and alcohol testing.

Think you can pull the wool over these guys' eyes?  Think again.  Trimega is the only company in the world which uses both FAEEs and EtGs in their hair drug testing.  In a word, this means it's pretty darn accurate.

Hair drug and alcohol testing is an incredibly accurate test to discover when a person took drugs or drank alcohol and how much, going back as far as two years (unless they've shaved their head, obviously).  

When hair grows, it absorbs special markers called fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) and ethyl glucuronide (EtG) which remain in the stands of hair indefinitely. These markers are only produced when there is alcohol in the bloodstream.  The more markers there are, the more alcohol the person has consumed.

A similar marking process occurs in the hair when certain types of drugs are taken.

Hair drug and alcohol testing in conjunction with the traditional blood alcohol and drug testing is proving a strong case in court, with its accuracy and ability to map out a person's use of certain substances over a long period of time.

Trimega Labs is leading the way in offering hair and blood alcohol and drug testing services to the public sector, including the police, lawyers, the courts, schools, the work place, and social services.
