Forensic Testing Services and Analysis

Data Integrity

Data integrity is key to everything we do, and the principles of forensic examination and chain of custody are applied rigorously. Our independent scientists offer assurance that clients are getting uncompromised, accurate results.

While maintaining uncompromised data integrity, the team is also able to offer a ‘fast track’ facility for urgent casework, including the analysis of test purchases of suspected drugs.

They will also work with the case officer to ensure there is mutual confidence in the process.
