For example, A urine drug test, on the other hand, could be negative if the subject abstains from drug use for a few days prior to a test.

This webinar will discuss the technology of hair testing and present on the situation in Brazil. There is consequently, a very large numbers of hair tests taking place, and laboratories must meet the need for high throughput and sensitivity.

For Forensic Toxicology Use.
