Legal Drug Testing

Our legal drug testing enables you to test for a wide range of drugs and their metabolites using head hair, body hair, nails, oral fluid (saliva) and urine, for a complete picture of an individual’s drug use.

We have also invested in the very latest technology for our state-of-the-art laboratory, employing some of the foremost scientists in their area of expertise, so you can be confident of receiving a 100% accurate result.

All samples submitted for testing can provide an overview of historic drug use, with varying detection periods from the time drugs were consumed.

Legal Alcohol Testing and Monitoring

AlphaBiolabs’ legal alcohol testing is recognised and admissible in courts across Ireland, with all samples analysed at our state-of-the-art laboratory.

We can analyse head hair, body hair, nail, breath and blood samples, with rapid results guaranteed.

We also offer continuous alcohol monitoring using SCRAM CAM®, a non-invasive alcohol monitoring device that can be worn discreetly around the ankle, detecting traces of alcohol in sweat.
