NAIL ALCOHOL TESTING

Accurate Testing for Up to 90 Days After Use

At TestFirst, we are committed to offering our clients the most accurate alcohol testing available. With more than 10 years of experience in the industry, we are able to quickly and reliably provide you with a snapshot of both an individual’s long and short-term alcohol consumption.

​

Fingernail and toenail alcohol testing is an ideal way to look at a person’s alcohol use over a 90 day period, as biomarkers are left behind in fingernail and toenail tissue for many weeks after alcohol has been consumed.

When to Choose Nail Alcohol Testing

Nail alcohol testing is an ideal alternative when a hair alcohol test cannot be carried out for various reasons.

​

​

​

​

 

Similar to the hair test, a nail alcohol test can detect alcohol consumption for a greater length of time than a breathalyzer, urine, or saliva test.

  • Nail alcohol tests can help you avoid common problems associated with hair tests, including the use of bleach, or lack of hair.

Some of the advantages of our
Nail alcohol tests include:
  • Negative test results available within 3 days

  • Positive test results verified in the lab within 3 days

  • Samples taken from toenails and fingernails 

  • Best test for long-term alcohol consumption (up to 90 days)

  • Ideal for regularly scheduled employee testing

  • Ideal for pre-employment alcohol screening

  • Better suited for large-scale, all-gender alcohol testing

How the test is carried out

At TestFirst, we strive to serve every client within five minutes of the time they walk through our doors. Nail alcohol testing is relatively quick, easy, and non-intrusive.

​

​

One of our certified TestFirst collectors will take a sample clipping from each of the test subject’s ten digits. Once the tests have been completed, results are typically available within 3 days.

 

Positive results may undergo additional testing in order to verify the results.

This can take up to one additional day.
