Q&A with Mathew Wade, Toxicologist and Laboratory Manager at AttoLife
Mathew Wade is a forensic toxicologist and lab manager at AttoLife. When it comes to drug and alcohol lab testing, Mat is a pro at examining the evidence and writing reports that can be used in the justice system.
Can You Introduce Yourself and Explain Your Role at AttoLife?
Hi, I'm Mathew Wade. I'm a toxicologist and the laboratory manager here at AttoLife. My role involves overseeing our testing processes and ensuring we deliver reliable, high-quality evidence for our clients.
Why Is the Work AttoLife Does So Important?
What we do is crucial because we test samples for individuals navigating significant legal and personal situations. The evidence we provide helps the court system make informed decisions.
For instance, we specialise in hair testing for drugs, hair testing for alcohol, PEth testing in blood for alcohol, and nail drug testing. These advanced testing methods ensure accuracy and reliability, which are essential for cases in the family court system.
Who Are AttoLife’s Main Clients?
Our primary clients include local authorities, solicitors, and the family court system. They rely on us for clear, evidentially sound information. For example, our drug tests using hair or nails and PEth blood tests for alcohol consumption provide critical insights into an individual’s substance use history.
What Services Does AttoLife Offer?
AttoLife provides a complete and streamlined service. Here's how it works:
Sample Collection: We send trained professionals to collect the necessary samples, whether for a hair follicle drug test, PEth blood test, or nail drug test.
Laboratory Analysis: All testing is conducted in-house at our state-of-the-art laboratory. For example, hair strand drug tests and PEth tests are handled with precision to ensure accurate results.
Expert Reporting: We compile detailed reports that are clear and reliable for court proceedings, ensuring clients can make informed decisions based on our evidence.
Does AttoLife Provide Additional Support Beyond Testing?
Absolutely. While we don’t always attend court, we have expert toxicologists available to provide in-person support when required. Additionally, we frequently provide supplementary information and address detailed questions to help clients fully understand results, such as those from hair testing for alcohol or PEth blood testing.
