Forensic and Clinical Toxicology

Phamatech is a SAMHSA certified, California Clinical and CLIA certified laboratory providing state-of-the-art laboratory testing. See the Laboratory Services/Certificates web page for copies of our licenses and certifications.

SAMHSA Certified

Testing mandated by the US Department of Transportation for FAA, FHWA, FMCSA, FTA, NHTSA and PHMSA is available. Urine is screening by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and confirmed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry using forensically strict chain of custody in our secure laboratory.

Specimen Validity Testing (SVT)

SAMHSA and other specimens can be tested for creatinine, specific gravity (SG), pH, nitrites and other substances to verify the specimen is indeed human urine and whether it may have foreign substances which would compromise testing.

Confirmation of Phamatech Diagnostics

On-site and at Home® testing devices provide instant immunoassay screening. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the ‘Gold Standard’ for confirmation. Phamatech Laboratories offers this state-of-the-art confirmation for all on-site screening devices.
