[Revealing hair].
Hair testing is an effective method for identifying chronic drug abusers. The procedure involves a decontamination step, acid hydrolysis in presence of deuterated internal standards, liquid-liquid extraction and analysis by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Hair analysis has a wide window of detection ranging from months to years and provides informations concerning the severity and pattern of an individual's drug use.
