Concateno TrichoTech have been providing hair tests for family law and child protection cases where parental substance use is suspected since 1993. A TrichoTest™ performed by Concateno TrichoTech is an accredited, reliable and court proven method for detecting drug and alcohol use and is ordered by social services, solicitors, judges, sheriffs, and magistrates so they can make informed decisions in the best interests of the children and families concerned.We are accredited to the International Standard ISO/IEC 17025:2005 by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service, under laboratory number 2212, to detect a wide range of drugs and metabolites in hair.
When results are required for court proceedings an expert witness report is an essential document which describes the chain of custody and an interpretation of the results. Concateno TrichoTech offer direct consultation with our reporting scientists to discuss how test results relate to an individual case. Our reporting scientists issue over 7,000 expert witness reports annually and are available to attend court when necessary.
