hair samples
Locks for testing
Hair samples are strands of hair collected for analysis or testing.
Drug tests commonly use hair samples because substances remain detectable in hair longer than in blood or urine: The lab requires a hair sample from the back of the head.
Forensic investigators collect hair samples from crime scenes for DNA analysis.
Hair samples also appear in medical diagnostics and scientific research.
