Laboratory analysis

Sample analysis is carried out by separate laboratories that hold ISO 17025 accreditation. NIVHA does not claim ISO 17025 accreditation for itself.

Collection and chain of custody

Collections are carried out by trained collectors. Identity is verified, the sample is sealed and signed in front of the donor, and its movement is documented at every step. Workplace collections capture identity, consent and chain of custody digitally. How chain of custody works.

Coverage

  • Collection centre in Belfast, and appointments in Dublin city centre.
  • Mobile collection teams for workplaces and agreed venues across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, including an emergency call-out service for post-incident testing.
  • Services for workplaces, for courts and care proceedings, and for private clients. See workplace testing, court and care testing and testing in the Republic of Ireland.
