Lab Testing

Principle

The identification and precise quantitation of alcohol in urine or oral fluid samples is carried out using head-space gas chromatography.

Analysis

This type of analysis is highly specific and precise. Analytical results represent an accurate measurement of the alcohol concentration in the sample.

All samples are transferred to the laboratory using chain-of-custody techniques; this assures the integrity of the sample and the correct identity of the donor.
