Yes. All services are by appointment only. Our hours are Monday–Friday 9:00 AM–5:00 PM and Saturday 9:00 AM–2:00 PM; we are closed Sunday. Call or text 225-998-TEST and we will find a time that works.

Please bring a valid, government-issued photo ID. Depending on the service, you may also need employer or agency authorization forms, court documents, testing paperwork, chain-of-custody forms, or any instructions provided by your employer, attorney, court, or requesting agency.

Most collection appointments take only a short amount of time. The total turnaround time for results depends on the type of test and laboratory processing requirements.

Result turnaround times vary based on the type of test requested. Some rapid or instant tests may provide preliminary results within minutes, while laboratory-based testing and confirmation testing may take longer. We will provide information about expected turnaround times when your service is scheduled.

DOT drug testing is federally regulated and is required for certain safety-sensitive employees and transportation-related positions. Non-DOT drug testing is typically used by private employers, organizations, schools, courts, and individuals. The testing program can often be customized based on the organization's needs.

A Breath Alcohol Test measures alcohol concentration through a person's breath. BAT services may be used for workplace testing, post-accident testing, reasonable suspicion testing, DOT-regulated programs, and other authorized purposes.

Yes. Mobile and on-site services may be available for employers, organizations, job sites, and other approved locations. Availability may depend on scheduling, location, the type of service requested, and applicable collection requirements.

Yes. Advanced Screening Solutions can assist employers with screening services such as pre-employment, random, reasonable suspicion, post-accident, return-to-duty, and other workplace testing needs, depending on the employer's program and applicable regulations.

DNA Testing

DNA testing services may include paternity, maternity, sibling, grandparentage, missing parent, immigration, avuncular, twin zygosity, infidelity, profile only, Y-STR, gender reveal, and legal or informational DNA testing.

Legal DNA testing follows a documented chain-of-custody process and may be used for court, child support, custody, immigration, or other legal matters when the receiving agency accepts the test. Non-legal DNA testing is generally intended for personal knowledge and typically does not follow the same legal chain-of-custody requirements.

Yes. Privacy and confidentiality are important parts of the testing process. Results are released only according to the authorization and procedures applicable to the specific testing service.

Legal DNA testing may be court-admissible when proper identification, collection, chain-of-custody procedures, and laboratory requirements are followed. If you need testing for a court case or other legal matter, please tell us before your appointment so the appropriate test can be scheduled.

Turnaround time varies depending on the type of DNA relationship test and the laboratory processing the specimen. Standard results take 3 to 5 business days and expedited results take 1 to 2 business days. These times are for regular DNA tests, not Immigration DNA.

Yes. Please note a travel fee is applied if we travel to you for testing. Areas or locations requesting services not listed on the website should contact us to see if we can service your area.

Background Checks

Available background screening options may include criminal history searches, employment screening, identity verification, education verification, credential or license verification, and other searches based on the needs of the employer or organization. The specific information included depends on the screening package requested and applicable laws.

Yes. Employers and authorized organizations may request background screening services as part of their hiring or compliance processes. Appropriate authorization and disclosure requirements must be followed when applicable.

Turnaround times vary depending on the type of search, jurisdictions involved, records availability, and verification requirements. Some reports may be completed quickly, while others require additional processing time.
