Family and Child Protection
TrichoTech has provided drug testing services to the medico-legal professions
since 1993, with a UK and European lead expertise in analysing hair. Hair
analysis profiles drug use going back months instead of the days or hours
that urine or oral fluid samples provide. To date, over 3000 law firms
have used our services for child residence and protection orders, divorce
and family issues, and criminal cases. Find
out more about how drugs get into hair.
Sample Collection Service
Our collectors ensure samples are obtained correctly, and operate under
strict chain of custody conditions. Over 300 law firms have requested
this new service since we trialled it last year. It simplifies the collection
of a hair sample, often making it more quickly available for drug analysis
than by arranging an appointment through a client's doctor. We have a
UK wide network of trained collectors.
