Experience

Truesdail is one of America's most sophisticated and highly respected drug detection laboratories in the world. Every year, our chemists analyze 70,000 to 80,000 biological fluids for the presence and identification of drugs. We work closely with several racing commissions, fairs, and expositions testing horses, sheep, hogs, cattle, and dogs for the presence of drugs. Testing protects the health of the animals and the integrity of races and contests.

We are committed to improving our ability to detect new drugs of abuse. We work closely with the, Association of Official Racing Chemists (AORC), Association of Racing Commissioners International, Inc. (ARCI), California Department of Food and Agriculture, California Horse Racing Board, University of California at Davis, University of Kentucky, Ohio State University, and Cornell University. As a result, Truesdail is a driving force in the application of new technology for the drug testing industry.

In addition to testing for the presence of drugs, Truesdail analyzes tablets, capsules, eye drops, ointments, creams, and other proprietary pharmaceutical products for contamination, purity, and potency. Government agencies, lawyers, doctors, and veterinarians have used our services for many years.
