Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fingerprint Testing?
Fast. Non-Invasive. Reliable.
Fingerprint drug testing is a modern and highly efficient method for detecting recent drug use, using just a simple fingerprint sample. At A B Medical Services (UK) Ltd, we use this advanced technology to offer fast, non-intrusive, and tamper-proof drug testing that’s ideal for workplace, clinical, and legal settings.
How Does It Work?
Unlike traditional urine or saliva testing, fingerprint drug testing collects sweat from the surface of the fingertip. The process is:
🔹 Quick – takes less than a minute
🔹 Hygienic – no need for bathroom facilities or observed samples
🔹 Non-invasive – no body fluids involved
🔹 Secure – samples are uniquely linked to the individual and difficult to tamper with
What is Alcohol Breath Testing?
Alcohol breath testing is a reliable and non-invasive method for detecting the presence of alcohol in a person’s system. Testing measures the concentration of alcohol in a person’s breath to estimate their Blood Alcohol Content (BAC). The test is performed using an evidential breath testing device (commonly known as a breathalyser), which provides fast and accurate results, usually within seconds.
How It Works
- The individual blows into a sterile mouthpiece connected to the breath testing device.
- The device analyses the breath sample and calculates the BAC.
- Results are displayed instantly and can be printed or recorded for official use.
How long does it take to get results back for workplace drug testing?
We offer a range of drug testing options to suit the needs of your workplace, and we know that fast, reliable results are essential.
For most fingerprint drug screening, results are available within minutes, allowing for quick decision-making with minimal disruption.
If a positive result is detected, we can immediately collect additional samples for laboratory confirmation. These are processed by UKAS-accredited laboratories, ensuring results are externally verified and fully documented — ideal for HR documentation, regulatory compliance, or legal proceedings.
Laboratory confirmation tests are typically returned within 24 to 48 hours.
We’ll help guide you in selecting the right testing method for your industry, risk level, and compliance needs.
Do you come to our sites?
Yes, absolutely. We offer 24/7, nationwide workplace drug and alcohol testing at your location — whenever and wherever you need us.
All we require is a small, private working area to carry out testing efficiently and discreetly. Alternatively, we can conduct testing from our fully equipped mobile testing vehicle, providing a self-contained and professional solution for any site or setting.
Are you Care Quality Commission registered?

Our Independent Ambulance Service is registered with the Care Quality Commission, ensuring that it meets the necessary standards for providing high-quality care to patients in need of medical care and attention.
A B Medical Services (UK) Limited is licensed, regulated and rated “GOOD” by the Care Quality Commission to carry out the following regulated activities.
- Treatment of Disease, Disorder, or Injury
- Transport Services, Triage & Medical Advice provided remotely.
Care Quality Commission provider ID: 1-1751149329
The Care Quality Commission regularly inspect and evaluate providers. They use the Key Lines of Enquiry and the five main questions that the CQC ask of any service, private or NHS aid in their assessment and service rating.
These five main questions are:
- Is it safe?
- Is it effective?
- Is it caring?
- Is it responsive to people’s needs?
- Is it well led?
Are your Laboratories fully accredited?
Should an employee receive a positive screening result for any of the tested drugs, in contravention of their company’s drug policy, then the organisation must be unequivocal about the accuracy of the test before any sanctions are applied.
To address this, we provide a separate ISO 17025-certified fingerprint-based confirmation test service using a Fingerprint Collection Kit for Laboratory Analysis.
This kit is used to collect two sets of fingerprint samples – using anonymous barcodes for identification – which are then sent to an independent, ISO 17025 certified testing laboratory for verification of the original positive test results using Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry techniques.
What are the key benefits of fingerprint drug testing?
Enabling faster, simpler implementation of effective workplace drug policies – offering a timesaving, hygienic and cost-effective method of random drug screening employees whenever and wherever testing is needed.
Respect for employee privacy and dignity – reducing reliance on the invasive collection of biohazardous body-fluid samples, and removing the requirement for gender-specific staff to supervise urine sample collection
Supporting fitness for duty, for cause and post-incident testing within the workplace – with customer feedback indicating that the fingerprint-based solution is easier to use and more convenient than traditional drug testing methods
Reduced environmental waste – unlike conventional plastic urine cup tests, which are bulky, typically weigh between 50-100g each, and become a biohazard when used.
