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.
From one of our clients…
British International Helicopters Limited, appointed Cansford Laboratories for our in-house drug and alcohol testing and our back-up sample collection service in July 2021.
From initial enquiry, right through to implementation of the new policy, Cansford have been instrumental in guiding BIHSL through all stages of launching this Policy.
We are incredibly satisfied with their service, their face-to-face training was delivered professionally and they are extremely helpful, knowledgeable and nothing seems to be too much trouble for them.
We would highly recommend Cansford for any business who are considering launching and rolling out a similar Policy in the future.
