Phamatech Receives HHS / SAMHSA Clearance For Forensic Toxicology Services
Diego,CA - Phamatech, one of the leading providers of rapid 1-step diagnostic devices for the detection of fertility, drugs of abuse, and infectious diseases, today disclosed a major development in its core businesses with the announcement that it has received certification by the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) for its newest division: Forensic Toxicology Laboratory Services.
Phamatech’s laboratory has been in operation for more than 2 years and has grown steadily prior to successful certification by DHHS / SAMHSA.
“I believe we now have the level of service and operation required by the largest customers in a growing drugs of abuse testing market, estimated at greater than $500M. Customers include fortune 1000 companies, third party administrators, Department of Transportation affiliated companies, and many of the largest federal and state agencies,” said Thomas G. Aucoin, Ph.D., Vice President of Laboratories. “In addition to traditional forensic laboratory services, our company will now be able to offer bundled rapid drug test products with SAMHSA certified laboratory confirmation testing. This combination of products and services will reduce cost, save time and resources, improve processing time, while maintaining the same accuracy and efficiency that customers are looking for.” “We have been successful in growing our company by providing products and services that are accurate, cost effective and built to the highest standards of quality,” said Phamatech President and CEO Tuan Pham, Ph.D. “The addition of a SAMHSA certified forensic laboratory will allow us to reach different segments of the drugs-of-abuse test markets and will be a critical part of our growth strategy over the next few years.”
