Our Test Types

Hair strand testing

This test provides clear insights into drug use over an indefinite period, while alcohol use can be detected for up to six months. Our segmented analysis reveals patterns over time, providing deeper insight.

Tests are able to detect a wide range of substances with just a small hair sample, it's quick, non-invasive, and highly accurate.

PEth testing

This test detects alcohol use over the past month with unmatched sensitivity. We now include blood EtG in all PEth tests, which reveals alcohol intake in the last 2-3 days.

Using a quick and painless dry blood spot test, we eliminiate the need for venous blood collection, making the process faster, easier, and just as reliable.

Nail testing

This test provides a detailed, long-term view of drug and alcohol use, detecting substances for up to six months, and works by analysing substances trapped in the keratin as the nail grows.

We test for a wide range of drugs, as well as alcohol, offering a reliable alternative when hair testing isn't possible.
