As you will see at the bottom of the pricing tab, we also offer MRO services. MROs are experts in the toxicology of illicit drugs and substances, providing a review of laboratory results. They follow the chain of custody of drug test samples and keep accurate records to ensure that samples do not lose their integrity or end up in the wrong hands.
To be an MRO, an individual must be a licensed physician, and have qualification training of collection procedures for specimens, chain of custody, reporting, and record keeping, interpretation of drug and validity test results, and the role and responsibilities of MROs in the DOT drug testing program.
