Data Integrity
Data integrity is key to everything we do, and the principles of forensic examination and chain of custody are applied rigorously. Our independent scientists offer assurance that clients are getting uncompromised, accurate results.
While maintaining uncompromised data integrity, the team is also able to offer a ‘fast track’ facility for urgent casework, including the analysis of test purchases of suspected drugs.
Chain of Custody
SOCOTEC’s forensic team operates from a UKAS accredited, state-of-the-art testing laboratory No.1015 which is protected by a high level of security to meet the Home Office licensing regulations for the storage, handling and analysis of controlled substances.
Our highly skilled scientists have proven management experience to protect the chain of custody, operating systems with established protocols to track the ownership and description of all submissions received. They will also work with the case officer to ensure there is mutual confidence in the process.
