OUR HISTORY: Forensic Laboratories was established in 1986 to provide quantitative drug analysis. The organization has seen extensive growth since its inception. Our services now include analysis of a large number of prescription drugs and their metabolites essential to the practice of pain management. Analysis is performed on both urine and oral fluid specimens. Forensic Laboratories processes thousands of samples daily. OUR LABORATORY: The laboratory employs state of the art methodology for high throughput initial screenings of sample using immunoassay technology (both EMIT and ELISA). Quantitative confirmation analysis is performed using Liquid Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry / Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). This methodology is unsurpassed in sensitivity, precision, dynamic range and speed of analysis. Results are continually reviewed, as completed, by a highly trained staff of certifying scientists who verify the quality of each analysis. Sample turnaround time currently is approximately 36 hours from receipt of sample to final report. The laboratory is CLIA certified and is licensed in a number of states requiring state licensure for operation. The Client Service staff, Laboratory staff, Distribution staff, Sales staff and toxicology experts are all immediately available by telephone and e-mail for any questions.
