Rachel Davenport, Co-founder and Director at AlphaBiolabs, outlines why barristers, solicitors, judges, social workers and local authorities across the UK trust AlphaBiolabs for court-admissible testing
With over 20 years’ experience, our UKAS-accredited laboratories provide industry-leading Drug, Alcohol and DNA testing to support family and child welfare cases.
From professional, chain-of-custody sample collections to user-friendly but robust Expert Reports, here’s why we’re the first choice for legal professionals nationwide:
We test for the widest range of substances in hair (head/body), nails, urine and oral fluid, including non-standard drugs.
Plus, our FREE Drug Screen Plus service screens for any additional markers or compounds within the standard drug panels, even if you did not specifically ask us to test for them.
Options include hair, nail and blood tests for alcohol biomarkers, plus breath testing and the SCRAM Continuous Alcohol Monitoring® (CAM) bracelet for real-time 24/7 monitoring.
We provide DNA testing for all family relationships including paternity, prenatal paternity, siblings, grandparents, avuncular, Y chromosome, cousins and more. Next-day results come as standard (same-day also available) and are accepted by Family Courts, the Ministry of Justice, UK Visas and Immigration, and the Home Office.
AlphaBiolabs is also the only UK lab with ISO 17025 accreditation for non-invasive prenatal paternity testing.
You’ll have a dedicated Case Manager as your single point of contact. Our professional, nationwide network of Sample Collectors work to strict chain of custody procedures, performing collections 7 days a week from any UK or Ireland location – including homes, hospitals, prisons, foster homes, workplaces, and council offices.
Plus, sample collections are FREE for legally-instructed tests at our 21 walk-in centres across the UK and Ireland – a proposition unique to AlphaBiolabs – offering unmatched service, convenience and value.
Our New Enquiry team are on hand to provide advice on the best testing options based on the requirements of your particular case.
