Every drug in the Standards,and the ones outside them

We identify every illicit drug class listed in the Australian Standards, and we go further. New synthetic and designer drugs appear faster than any standard can be revised, so our methods also identify compounds that sit outside the Standards altogether.

That means a single laboratory can confirm a routine workplace result, profile the residue left behind at a suspected clandestine laboratory, and identify an unfamiliar substance that a standard screen would miss.

Listed in Australian Standards
  • Amphetamine-type substancesmethamphetamine, amphetamine, MDMA and MDA
  • CannabisTHC and its metabolites
  • Cocainecocaine and benzoylecgonine
  • Opiatesincluding morphine and codeine
  • Benzodiazepinesincluded where your policy includes them

  • Synthetic opioidsfentanyl, fentanyl analogues and nitazenes
  • Synthetic cannabinoidscompounds sold as legal or herbal highs
  • Synthetic cathinonesstimulants sold as bath salts or research chemicals

Other hazards hiding,in Australian properties

Illicit drugs are not the only invisible risk in a building. Mould, lead and asbestos are found in homes, rentals and workplaces across Australia, and each one can harm the people living and working there.

Mould Analysis and Identification

Laboratory analysis of air sampling cassettes, tape lifts, swabs and bulk materials that shows which moulds are present, how heavily a building is affected and whether remediation has worked.

Air samplingTape liftsRead more

Lead Analysis and Identification

Laboratory analysis of paint, dust wipes, soil and water that shows whether lead is present in a property, how much there is and whether renovation or clean-up has left a home safe for children.

PaintDust and soilRead more

Asbestos Analysis and Identification

Laboratory identification of asbestos in building materials, soil and dust, and airborne fibre monitoring, so owners, builders and removalists know what they are dealing with before work begins and when it is safe to return.

Better answersfor bigger decisions

Every client arrives with a decision to make. Start with the question, and we will match it to the right analysis.

Property managers

Is this rental safe to re-let?

Methamphetamine analysis at the start and end of every tenancy gives you a documented condition, not a guess.

Fitness for work

A drug and alcohol program your workforce can trust

Impairment at work is a safety risk, a health risk and a productivity cost. A clear, fair screening program protects the people on your sites and gives you objective evidence when it matters. Our results stand up because every step, from collection to confirmation, follows the Standard and is recorded digitally.

Explore workplace analysis

Pre-employment

Confirm new starters meet your fitness for work requirements before their first shift.

Random

Unannounced screening that deters use and measures how your policy is working.

For-cause and post-incident

Fair, documented screening when behaviour or an incident needs to be investigated.

Return to work

Follow-up screening that supports a managed and confidential return to duties.

Paperless from the first wipeto the final certificate

No printed chain of custody forms. No couriered paperwork. No filing cabinets. Every sample is registered, tracked, analysed and reported digitally, cutting turnaround times and the carbon footprint of every job you send us.

  • Digital Chain of CustodySamples are registered at collection, so custody is recorded from the moment a wipe leaves the surface.
  • Tracked through the labEvery sample is followed from receipt to analysis to reporting, without paper changing hands.
  • Certificates delivered digitallyStandard results within 24 hours of receipt and priority results within 12 hours.

Training

NIOSH 9111 Sampling Method Support

Method guidance, sampling plans and toolbox training for decontamination and cleaning crews collecting their own samples.

What we help with

  • Sampling plans that match the question, the property and the panel
  • Template placement and a consistent wipe technique
  • Glove changes and handling that prevent cross contamination
  • Field blanks, labelling and digital registration
  • Choosing between screening and clearance approaches

Toolbox training

Short, practical sessions for crews who collect their own samples. The aim is simple: every wipe that arrives at the laboratory should be collected the same way, so the numbers can be trusted and compared between jobs.

Why it matters

A result can only be as good as the sample. Most disputed results trace back to sampling, not analysis, and ten minutes of method advice before a job regularly saves a resample later.

Not sure this is the right panel? Call before you sample.

What we supply

  • Spiked wipes prepared at known loadings
  • Field blanks for sampling and transport checks

How they are used

Hygienists use spiked wipes and blanks to check sampling and transport, while laboratories use them for method validation, proficiency testing and ongoing QA/QC. Talk to us about the compounds and loadings your program needs.
