Drug testing
We test for the widest range of drugs across a variety of sample types including head hair, body hair, nails, urine, and oral fluid.
We also offer a FREE Drug Screen Plus service to tell you if any additional substances were present that you did not initially ask us to test for.
Alcohol testing
Our alcohol testing options include hair, nail, and blood tests for alcohol biomarkers. We also offer breath testing, and the SCRAM® bracelet, for real-time, continuous alcohol monitoring.
DNA testing
Our DNA testing is the most powerful in the industry, analysing up to 45 DNA markers, with tests including paternity, sibling, grandparent, avuncular, Y chromosome and extended family (including cousins).
We are the only lab to hold UKAS ISO 17025 for prenatal paternity testing and are Ministry of Justice approved to provide parentage testing.
Next-day results are provided as standard, with same-day results available if required, and are accepted by Family Court, the UK Visas and Immigration Service and the Home Office.
