The use of Hair Alcohol analysis to establish and verify persistent alcohol abusers within the United Kingdom has steadily increased in recent years. The legal profession recognises that hair analysis not only determines the presence of alcohol in the system but can also provide an accurate historical record of alcohol dependency.

Hair Alcohol Tests are to be used for legal disputes and presented in courts, usually requested by social services or solicitors, but in some cases can be ordered by courts directly. The admissibility of tests is dependent upon strict sample collection protocols administered by Trimega Laboratories trained nurses and sample collectors.

Additional advantages of Hair Analysis over Blood (CDT/LFT)

  •  Non evasive testing
  •  Increased ease of sample collection, storage and transport.
  •  Increased sensitivity of substance detection

3 REASONS TO SELECT THE TRIMEGA HAIR ALCOHOL TEST

1. We offer a complete alcohol testing package that can accurately portray your client's alcohol history for up to 12 months including abstinence.

2. Trimega are becoming widely recognised as synonymous with Hair Alcohol Testing in the UK legal sector (based on FAEE's) testing procedure.

3. ONLY Trimega Laboratories combine traditional blood tests together with Hair Alcohol Testing to provide the most comprehensive results currently available.

As the hair grows, it absorbs special markers called fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE’s) and ethyl glucuronide (EtG) into its structure, which remain in the hair indefinitely. These patented markers are only produced when there is alcohol in the bloodstream, and the more markers there are, the more alcohol you consumed.

What makes this analysis revolutionary is that it gives a history going back month-by-month or even years if required. No other method can do this. Afterwards, an alcoholic’s treatment can be monitored periodically as their hair grows.
