DNA
Testing
DNA Fingerprinting can provide a 100% guarantee that the man being
tested is not the biological father. The report will exclude this person
from being the biological father and provide a list of genetic exceptions.
DNA profiling can provide a 99.99% probability that the man being tested
cannot be excluded from being the biological father of the child. A Combined
Paternity Index will be calculated and additional testing will be provided
if necessary to achieve the minimum legally reportable Combined Paternity
Index.
Rapid Drug Testing: Now offers DNA Paternity Testing through its affiliation
with Independent Forensics and its paternity testing subsidiary Paternity
Testing US. Please call 888-797-6800 for details. (TOP)
Lab Confirmations
Performed by a nationally recognized Laboratory that is certified
by Health & Human Services under the National Laboratory Certification
Program (NLCP). All of our confirmations are done by Gas Chromotography/Mass
Spectrometry (GC/MS). Their state-of-the-art, high sensitivity GC/MS instruments
are utilized to detect trace amounts of drugs in the sample. As little
as 1 billionth of a gram can be detected. This is the final step in confirming
a positive test result. Our pricing includes a custom printed 3 part chain
of custody form with security seals and lab specific unique identification
number, shipping supplies, next day shipping of the specimen to the laboratory,
electronic reporting to an email address specified by you. Please call
888-797-6800 for details. (TOP)
Hair Testing
Our partner uses only a state-of-the-art method for detecting drugs
in hair testing using enzyme-immunoassay (EIA). EIA measures the drug
molecules permanently entrapped in the hair, which were incorporated following
introduction into the body and subsequent absorption into the bloodstream.
Our Laboratory uses cut-off levels that follow the current SAMHSA levels
for each illicit drug. The cost of the test includes all collection supplies,
chain of custody form with security seals and lab specific unique specimen
number and next day shipping of the specimen to the laboratory. Please

Trace Detection Services
These scientifically based services detect over twenty different
drug and seven explosive substances in order to curtail the use, storage,
and distribution of elicit contraband. Contracting with Rapid to perform
trace detection services will include two on-site visits with follow-up
summary reports and analysis of interim specimen collection performed
by management at its discretion.
Trace detection technology makes use of minute amounts of vapors emitted
and microscopic particles left behind when narcotics are packaged, handled,
and used. Traces can be left on door handles, desks, merchandise, identification
badges, and any other surface. The instruments used by Rapid Drug to detect
contraband traces are the same as those used to secure some of the most
prestigious and high-threat facilities and events in the world and used
by customs and law enforcement agencies to intercept drugs at ports, boarder-crossing
checkpoints, and postal inspection facilities.
The instrument’s sensitivity is the equivalent of detecting grams
of a dissolved sugar packet in an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
Each assessment begins with randomly collecting microscopic particles
from various locations in the workplace. Surfaces are either wiped down
with a paper disk called a “sample trap” or vacuumed, trapping
the particles in a collection device. These samples are analyzed using
an itemizer that detects drug particles at a level that exceeds a pre-set
boundary. When the pre-set is reached, an alarm will sound on the detector.
The instrument will then report the drug detected and its concentration
using a graphic format.
These printouts are compiled into a report that also includes a narrative
and comparison tables. Reports from each assessment – the initial
assessment, the follow-up, and any interim analyses – are compared
in a final report at the conclusion of Rapid Drug’s services.
Once the report is available, management will gain knowledge of the severity
of a drug problem within its workforce and can determine what action to
take to alleviate the situation. Rapid Drug’s trace detection services,
while discrete, also serve as a deterrent to drug use and as an initial
step to implementing and maintaining a drug free workplace. Please call
888-797-6800 for details. (TOP)
MRO Services

the Lab to be reviewed by a qualified Medical Review Officer. All of our
MRO’s are licensed physician’s (Doctor of Medicine or Osteopathy)
and are knowledgeable about and have clinical experience in controlled
substances abuse disorders, including detailed knowledge of alternative
medical explanations for laboratory confirmed drug test results. Please
