Nasertic’s analytical laboratory is equipped with state‑of‑the‑art instruments and highly experienced technical staff in performing toxicological analytical services (detection, identification, and quantification of drugs of abuse and medicines). Its objective is to provide analytical support to various public institutions and other entities, ensuring and certifying the validity of analytical results required in medical, judicial, or administrative procedures. Nasertic is working to expand the number of services included within the scope of accreditation under the ISO/IEC 17025 standard.
The toxicological analytical services provided by Nasertic are:
Detection of drugs of abuse and medicines in oral fluid.
Quantification of drugs of abuse and medicines in different biological fluids.
Confirmation of drugs of abuse in seized samples.

In addition to analytical support, Nasertic participates in intercomparison, control, and calibration programmes and shares recommendations with collaborators so that quality systems, traceability, and sample custody become more robust every day.
The analytical offering, both in matrices and in analysed compounds, is constantly evolving to address new needs arising from changes in consumption, regulatory requirements, or emerging demands from different institutions.
