Hair testing is the most accurate and effective method of finding users of drugs of abuse. Using small sample of hair cut at the scalp, hair analysis evaluates the amount of drug metabolites embedded inside the hair shaft.

Since each hair has its own directly blood supply, the ingestion of any illegal drugs will be transport by blood and trapped by the hair, which can be revealed by analysis a small sample of hair. Our testing method measures the drug molecules and the metabolites embedded inside the hair shaft, eliminated external contamination as a source of a positive test result.

Feature

Hair sample, the only time limitation for detection drug usage is imposed by the length of the donor’s hair. Each ½ inch of the head hair provides a 30-days history of drug use. The standard of the industry is the to test 1.5 inches, which provides a 90-days history of the donor’s drug use.

If no head hair’s available, body hair can be use. Bleaches, shampoos and external contaminants ( i.e marijuana smoke) have no known impact on test results.

Testing Procedures

In order to maintain high accuracy and reliability, and fullfill the licensing requirements of all authorities, the laboratory has simultaneously employed proficient methodologies.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) methodology, which has been proven reliable for the routine drug testing. Any sample that test presumptively positive in the screening process are then subjected to gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), gas Chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (GC/MS), or Liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS) confirmation testing.

The testing sensitivity and report accuracy meet international standards and the courts also recognize hair test results for Legal and forensic purpose.

Fresh, drinking water chemical, physical and microbiological characteristics are measured through our detailed, strict process in certified labs. We are able to take proper samples from every ship or point we are requested, anywhere in the world and provide you a detailed analysis report in the shortest time, enabling you to take the appropriate measures if necessary.

JVP Marine’s certified and accredited cooperating Labs analyse and test potable water according to Drinking Water Directive (Council Directive 98/83/EC of 3 November 1998 on the quality of water intended for human consumption).

This Directive concerns the quality of water intended for human consumption and its objective is to protect human health from adverse effects of any contamination of water intended for human consumption by ensuring that it is wholesome and clean.

The Drinking Water Directive applies to:

• All distribution systems serving more than 50 people or supplying more than 10 cubic meter per day, but also distribution systems serving less than 50 people/supplying less than 10 cubic meter per day if the water is supplied as part of an economic activity

• Drinking water from tankers

• Drinking water in bottles or containers

• Water used in the food-processing industry, unless the competent national authorities are satisfied that the quality of the water cannot affect the wholesomeness of the foodstuff in its finished form
