Rachel Davenport breaks down everything you need to know about AlphaBiolabs’ industry-leading laboratory testing services for legal matters
From professional sample collection to analysis, and timely delivery of Expert Reports, AlphaBiolabs has over 20 years’ experience providing drug, alcohol and DNA testing services direct from our accredited, UK laboratories.
Here are 12 reasons why barristers, judges, family solicitors, social workers and local authorities across the UK and Ireland trust us to deliver drug, alcohol and DNA testing in support of family cases, including child welfare and protection matters.
We test for the widest range of drugs across a variety of sample types including head hair, body hair, nails, urine, and oral fluid. We also offer FREE Drug Screen Plus to tell you if additional substances were present that you did not initially ask us to test for.
Our alcohol testing options include hair, nail, and blood tests for alcohol biomarkers. We also offer breath testing, and the SCRAM CAM® bracelet, for real-time, continuous alcohol monitoring.
Our DNA testing is the most powerful in the industry, analysing up to 153 DNA markers. Tests include paternity, sibling, grandparent, avuncular, Y chromosome and extended family.
We are the only lab to hold UKAS ISO 17025 for prenatal paternity testing and are Ministry of Justice approved to provide parentage testing.
Next-day results are provided as standard, with same-day results available if required, and are accepted by all official bodies including Family Court, UK Visas and Immigration Service and the Home Office.
As soon as we receive your instruction, you will be assigned a Case Manager who will act as your main point of contact throughout the testing process. We schedule sample appointments 7 days a week, make first contact with the Sample Donor within 24 hours, and can attend any location across the UK and Ireland within 24-48 hours, including homes, hostels, hospitals, prisons, foster homes, workplaces and council offices.
