Health&Safety: Quantum, a fresh approach to drug testing

01/11/2009 | Channel: Health & Safety

What is the most important factor in your drug and alcohol testing policy? Is it:

  • Downtime, waiting for test results?
  • Overall cost-effectiveness of your alcohol and drug policy?
  • To ensure you can access the most up-to-date technology?
If you can answer ‘yes’ to any of the questions above, then Quantum Diagnostics Group Ltd can assist you. We are the leading independent provider of drug and alcohol testing products and services in the UK, now established as the leading rapid turnaround laboratory for a wide range of blue-chip clients. As an independent laboratory we can guarantee cost effectiveness. Our strong relationship with the world’s leading chemical supplier to the drug testing industry enables us to be at the forefront of the latest technology in the UK.

Our nationwide team of sample collectors are trained to respond to your requests and utilise our extensive portfolio of overnight and same-day motorbike couriers. We simply won’t keep you waiting for a collection, or a lab result.

We leverage our contracts with world-leading suppliers and pass on savings to our clients to help manage your costs. As a privately owned business, Quantum works for its customers, not a board of shareholders.

Quality
At Quantum we place the utmost importance on quality, be it our products and services, or the systems and equipment we put in place to ensure the best results for our customers. All of our tests carry the CE mark, denoting that all essential requirements set by directive EC/98/79 in-vitro diagnostic devices are adhered to.

Our in-house laboratory is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005, which is the industry standard for a testing laboratory. We carry out regular internal audits and are audited externally by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).

ILAC is the international co-operation between the various laboratory accreditation schemes operated throughout the world. This means the UKAS quality mark is recognised throughout the world.
