Simplified sample preparation for low level determination of cannabis use from hair samples

Hair analysis is growing in popularity due to the non-invasive nature of the sample collection. Although not used as routinely as other matrices such as blood or urine it does have advantages in that the matrix can indicate prolonged drug exposure. This can provide valuable information with respect to therapeutic drug regimens or in abused drug abstinence cases. The low-level detection required for cannabis use combined with the complexity of hair testing makes for a challenging application. This poster aims to
demonstrate simplified sample preparation workflow for low level analysis of THC from hair.
