Sports testing includes screening and confirmation procedures for all classes of banned drugs (>400). Our procedures have been constantly upgraded to meet the dynamic changes and requirements in the WADA list. The prohibited substances and methods of doping include stimulants, narcotics, diuretics, beta-blockers, beta-2-agonists, anabolic steroids, peptides, mimetics and analogues, blood doping, plasma expanders, and pharmacological, chemical and physical manipulation.

Workplace Drug Testing
We conduct drug testing for major multi-national and local companies that routinely undertake pre-employment and random on-the-job testing for drugs of abuse. Workplace drug testing includes screening and confirmation procedures for substances such as alcohol, opiates, cannabis, amphetamines, mitragynine, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, methadone, phencyclidine, cocaine, and propoxyphene.

Food and Feed Testing
Determination of drug residues and chemicals in food and feed include antibiotics, pesticides, 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD), β-agonists, polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxin (PCD), polycholorinated dibenzo-furan (PCB), and polychlorobiphenyl (PCB). These residues and chemicals are toxic or carcinogenic to human health. Thus, regulations on the accepted limits of these compounds have been imposed by many countries in view of public health and safety.

Industrial Hygiene and Workplace Safety Testing
The monitoring of exposure to chemicals at the workplace has become an increasingly important issue. Determination of specific volatile organic compounds (VOC) can now be accomplished through the usage of passive diffusive monitors or the activated charcoal tubes at the workplace.

Quality Assurance
We provide drug analysis for the purpose of quantification, identification, and toxicological evaluation. Our instrumentation and methods are designed to provide a high throughput for such analysis with high reliability. Quality Assurance has been increasingly important as more and more cases of adulteration have been found in supplements, herbal preparations, and natural remedies.
Pharmaceutical Analysis
Pharmaceutical Analysis involves the analysis of therapeutic drugs in various matrices including analysis of adulterants in drug preparations and herbal supplements.
Natural Product Characterisation
We offer analysis of unknowns derived from extraction and fractionation of herbal medicines for purposes of identifying structural formula and molecular weights of hundreds of compounds.
