If you’re testing parents for signs of drug or alcohol use (or simply a DNA match) Atkinson Lewis can help. We have an extensive network of Sample Collectors who can take hair, blood and oral fluid samples anywhere in the UK – plus a team of clinical experts who can work with you to make sense of laboratory results.
Why use a professional Sample Collector?
That’s a question we’re asked every day! You could ask your GP for help or buy a home testing kit. But your GP has a long waiting list – and home testing kits won’t give you results that you can rely on in court.
So you’ll only get fast, reliable service from an experienced Sample Collector.
At Atkinson Lewis, we only entrust this important work to trained Phlebotomists who learned their craft in a hospital environment. This means that (unlike many Sample Collectors) they learned to take blood from a live person, and not just from a dummy.
Our Collectors have also received extensive training in house, so they’re fully equipped to take hair, urine and oral fluid samples, and to record the patient’s declaration of drug and alcohol use.
Moreover, each Sample Collector is for their personal qualities, like a friendly demeanour and the ability to put your clients at ease. After all, we’re not there to judge – just to help you establish the facts.
When you work with us, you can be sure that samples are properly managed, and tested by laboratories that are fully accredited to European Standards.
And with expert interpretation at the end of the testing process, you’ll have an end to end service, all timed to meet your scheduled court dates.
Or if you prefer, send us your enquiry. Tell us how we can help, and we’ll arrange to speak to you soon.
