Omega Laboratories Achieves SAMHSA Accreditation

Omega Laboratories, Inc., a renowned name in drug testing solutions, recently announced a significant milestone in its commitment to excellence. The laboratory has been awarded accreditation from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for its online Custody and Control Form (oCCF) system, which is designed for use in Federally Regulated Drug Testing Programs. This achievement underscores Omega's dedication to integrating advanced technology and high-quality standards into the drug testing arena.

Revolutionizing Drug Testing

The oCCF system represents a state-of-the-art development in the drug testing landscape, providing clients with a simplified process for generating custody and control forms needed for drug test collections. With this accreditation, Omega is now recognized as the only laboratory in North America that has developed a multi-language online system, allowing the utilization of the oCCF in 16 different languages. This feature is critical for ensuring that all donors fully understand the testing procedures and consent to their results being captured.

Jerry Crosby, the President of Omega, expressed pride in achieving this accreditation, stating, "This accomplishment not only showcases our capabilities in forensic toxicology but also reaffirms our commitment to ease the collection and testing processes for our clients and collaborators. The flexibility offered by the oCCF system makes it ideal for collections carried out in various settings, whether or not Wi-Fi is available."

A Trusted Industry Leader

SAMHSA's stringent evaluation process ensures that only a select number of laboratories meeting the highest industry standards are eligible for this prestigious accreditation. Omega Laboratories has over 25 years of experience in drug testing, specializing in a wide range of testing methodologies that include urine, oral fluid, hair, and breath specimens. The recognition allows Omega to provide a comprehensive testing solution for government agencies, law enforcement, and various workplace programs, particularly those conducted under the Department of Transportation guidelines.

This milestone not only enhances Omega's reputation but also serves the broader community by promoting public safety through effective drug testing practices. As regulations surrounding drug testing evolve, the oCCF's adaptability and assurance of rigorous procedures will be highly beneficial.

Advancing into the Future

With its SAMHSA accreditation, Omega Laboratories is poised to expand its testing menu further, potentially incorporating oral fluid, hair, and breath testing, aligning with Health and Human Services (HHS) approvals. The importance of this accreditation goes beyond Omega’s technical capabilities; it reflects the laboratory's robust client service model, rapid turnaround times, and innovative technology solutions.

Omega Laboratories is not just about meeting current demands; they are anticipated to be at the forefront as drug testing needs evolve both in the U.S. and internationally. The high standards set by SAMHSA facilitate Omega’s mission to cater to a diverse clientele, enhancing reliability and trust in drug testing across various sectors.
