toxicology lab

Chemical hazard testing

A toxicology lab is a laboratory that analyzes biological samples—blood, urine, tissue—to detect and measure drugs, poisons, alcohol, and other harmful substances.

These labs serve medical examiners, hospitals, and law enforcement: The toxicology lab confirmed fentanyl in the victim's system.

Results determine cause of death, diagnose overdoses, or support criminal investigations.
