Psychemedics Corporation offers a powerful weapon in the drug war with its patented hair testing technology for drugs of abuse. Psychemedics Corporation's technology for analyzing hair for drugs of abuse is available through drug testing services for both the workplace and the home. The Company has experienced consistent revenue and market share growth for its entire history. With over 1,400 corporate customers nationwide, a number of police departments, including three of the country's largest, five Federal Reserve Banks, hospitals and parole departments, as well as high schools and universities, the Psychemedics drug testing method has been established in the marketplace. In one study conducted by a large manufacturing company, samples from over 700 job applicants were tested using both urine and our hair test.
Most drug abusers are familiar with the many techniques available for beating a urine test.
The easiest method, abstaining from using drugs for two or three days before a drug test, will normally produce a negative urine result. With the Psychemedics hair test, simple abstention doesn't work since the hair test detects drug use for approximately the previous 90 days versus usually two or three days for urine. Additionally, other well known methods of beating a urine test through substitution or adulteration are not effective against the Company's patented hair test. Corporations interested in keeping out drug abusers can be assured that they have the best chance of maintaining a drug free work-place with the Psychemedics testing services. In fact, most of the more than 1,700 companies currently relying on our hair testing method once used urine.
